Great introduction to Iraqi cuisine! Never had Iraqi food before, and middle eastern food only a few times before. The owners Steve and Frank were extremely welcoming and nice and arranged a plate specifically for me when I told them it was my first time eating Iraqi. The food was excellent and incredibly tasty, and the portion was generous for a big eater like myself. It was two skewers (one chicken, one beef) with tomato rice, salad, peppers, and an appetizer of hummus and pita. Really delish and very fairly priced. Did I mention they let me sit down and enjoy a cup of traditional hot tea while I was waiting for my order, and struck up a good conversation with me? Great introduction to Iraqi cuisine, I will be coming back!

Though the place does not look like much from the outside, it’s really worth the stop! The food was excellent: exceptionally flavorful! The chicken, though it’s really hard to do anything with this meat in general, was soft, and just melted in my mouth! The portions were very large.

Beef and chicken kabob was sooooo good. The food was very fresh. Definitely eating here again when I’m in El Cajon.

Excellent food! If you are looking for homestyle Iraqi cooking this is a great place to come. The man who owns the place is very friendly and cooks all the food to order. Another positive aspect is the variety of Iraqi fare that is available here compared to other similar places in the El Cajon area. Definitely recommend

Very authentic atmosphere and food! I ordered the mixed plate (which could feed 4 people easily) with 2 other friends for a great price of $25. Afterwards we enjoyed a great cup of tea. The customer service is the icing on the cake; they were very polite and friendly. They also make amazing pacha every Tuesday.

Random find. I was walking around and randomly found this place and was a bit skeptical about it. But when I tried the food (chicken tikka), so delicious! The staff there are so nice. Super recommend it.

You definitely feel in Iraq when you walk through their door. And there he is, Mr. Sagmani ready to greet you as soon as you walk in. Great fun, and there’s also plenty of vegan options.
