⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five stars — amazing food, amazing people, amazing place. This is a must-try. Everything was delicious, the vibes were on point, and they serve halal meats, which makes it even better. And let’s talk value… the family pack is an absolute steal. It’s only $50, feeds the whole family, and you’ll definitely have leftovers — unless you’re me and sit there for five hours destroying it Seriously, support this spot. Five out of five stars.

The best! I highly recommend this restaurant if you’re looking for authentic Iraqi food I visited Arizona for 3 days with family and were here for the whole stay. We’ve tried masgouf, beef kabob and tikka- All are the best we’ve ever tried. The place is very clean too and people are very friendly and welcoming.

This place is unbelievable, the taste, the TASTE!!! Flavor, freshness, preparation, portion size & the price is great! Not to mention, customer service was gracious & laid back. This restaurant NEEDS to advertise more - I found it on accident??? Please do yourself a favor & just try it once - you’ll go back, promise…
