For some reason the Masgouf fish didn’t taste as fresh or as crispy on the skin as I would have liked and when compared to other Iraqi restaurants including the Jumeirah outlet
The kebabs, though , were outstanding . The pista kabab was so fresh and with a slight crunch from being well cooked. The yoghurt kabab is always great.
It’s non pretentious and good food. But I think the Jumeirah joint is better
We were just blown away by the hospitality of this place!
As soon as we were seated they served us complementary lentil soup! We ordered their special salad and the mix grill. Everything was delicious. They again gave us complementary dessert and tea!
Was a great night out! Thank you!

Iraqi cuisine is somewhat different from the typical Levantine fare found in the UAE. For one, they have elaborate fish dishes, the Masgouf being the most popular. The fish used is generally a large, big boned river fish from the carp family (similar to the Rui in Bangladesh, but not the same). Its burnt over an open fire spit, with the fish oil providing part of the fuel. (River fish is extremely rare in Dubai restaurants, and I am sure it is imported by air freight)The result is a smoky, chunky fish, which disguises some of the inherent muddy taste of fishes from the carp family. The fish at Samad Iraqi was good, but not as good as I was hoping it would be (then again I am a seafood snob of Bengali heritage). And one downside for small parties is that you can only have a minimum of 2-3kg which is good enough for 6-8 people. Coming to the rest of the dishes, the standout was this adorable salad, with fresh cut avocado, chewy date pieces, orange slices, pomegranate, and barley on to; has to rank among the top 5 salads I have ever had in Dubai.The Iraqi tea was good as well as the gloriously unhealthy complimentary dessert, which was basically caramel smashed with flour and ghee (tasted similar to Rajasthani Churma)The kababs and lentil soup were good. All in all, a pricey but very decent introduction to Iraqi cuisine, you will get your money's worth if going as a group of 5-6 adults.
Famous for their fish. I tried the 1.5 kg sea bass. It was one of the best fish eaten. Lovely and delicious. Spexially in cool breeze wind love the atmosphere. They serve u warm big afghan type bread. Staff was attentive.

Very delicious meat with Bamya. Very big portions the amount of the food is enough for 2 or even 3
The price is very decent as they offer free soup, pickles
Also very tasty tea in the end (free) as much as you want
I really like the taste but service could be better
I will cone back soon with family
One of my favorite spots. I love this location and my all-time favorite at this restaurant is the tea they serve in the small glass cups. I can drink like 10 glasses of these tea it’s just so yummy. The food is also good, they serve this complementary soup which I am not a big fan. I usually get the mixed grill and I love how tender and juicy the meats are and the spices that make the flavor just perfect.
I highly recommend this restaurant as it is one of the best Lebanese restaurant in Dubai as well for its very friendly staff , professional service, delicious food, they make my evening wonderful and exceptional ,a big compliment to the manager of the restaurant and all the kind staff.
The area is known for good Middle Eastern food. I have tried them all, I guess. This is my favourite. They have great dishes. They have this brilliant way of presenting it. And the ambiance is best of them all. The only issue is that you will find that parking is a bit of an issue. I recommend the garlic mayo thing (don't know the actual name) and the grill. Desserts are brilliant too. The serve this coffee, its a dream for coffee lovers. Strong and flavourful. And its complimentary.
