First time ever experience an Iraqi restaurant. Like almost everything in Dubai, the service was excellent and quick. We started with a complimentary lentil soup with cabbages and Maanam, followed by hummus with shawarma meat, Iraqi mixed grill, and kunafa. What can I say? The food was delicious and it was good that for the 2 of us, we only ordered 1 portion of each great dish. The restaurant is situated at a small lake at the foot of the Burj Khalifa and so sitting outside you have an amazing view at the tower. What a location to have an absolutely fabulous meal. I can strongly recommend this place to everyone looking for a great dinner at an extremely scenic location.

This is the second time that we had Lunch at the: Samad al Iraqi Restaurant and for sure it will not be our last! Each time we return it seems the food is getting tastier and the service is getting faster. Samad al Iraqi Restaurant is most famous for its’ fresh BBQ Iraqi River Fish. They have a special barbeque area only used to BBQ this special fish. Now the down side it normally takes over 45 minutes to cook. So this trip my son pre-ordered this special fish and when we arrived to the restaurant it was ready. They give each guest a nice bowl of very flavorsome Lentil Soup and then we ordered a nice Fatoush Salad and our other main dishes. Everything came together including the fresh BBQ Fish. All the food was simply scrumptious and very delicious, especially the BBQ Fish. If you are in Dubai and you want to enjoy a great fresh water fish you need to look no further than the Samad al Iraqi Restaurant. But, do what we did, pre-order the fish first and by the time you arrive to the restaurant it should be ready to enjoy. Enjoy your next meal…

The food was amazing here especially the charcoal grilled sea bass and the lentil soup. Definitely worth going to for a superb taste of Iraqi food. The service staff was also very helpful and gracious.

We went to Al Iraqi downtown, after looking for the entrance for 15 min, as there is some construction work going on. When we arrived the head waiter dropped the menus on a table, didn't look at us and left. I wanted to leave but my friends were cool. We ordered all the usual Hummus, Baba Ghanoush, Kubbah Mousil, mixed grill Hamour on oven, and different drinks. The waiters were looking at us almost aggressively and were dropping their cutlery on a large storage furniture with a lot of noise, they seems to be unhappy to work there. Bad lunch, bad atmosphere.

The worst restaurant I've ever been to. I didn't eat the food, I tasted it, it tasted bad very bad and the salmon was raw and I didn't eat anymore, and the very rude waitress saw me eating the bun you gave me at the beginning and while I was eating, she took the plate in front of me!!!!! Nh I recommend!Da

Been here twice now , thought I’d give it a second visit as food was good but won’t be visiting again. Food is good and staff who bring the food are lovely but the guys who greet you , show you to your table and take your payment really need some training on customer service. Both times , what should have been a great meal , was just OK because if their complete lack of enthusiasm and friendliness. The second time never even got a hello or a goodbye, had to repeatedly ask for the bill and then when paying he didn’t say it word or even make eye contact. I get the feeling these staff really dint want ti be there. Other than ok , decent price , nice location and love the complimentary lentil soup and fresh warm bread

We visited the Address Hotel Branch for the first time! Of course the view outdoor is much nice than the other branch and with that view and location, price is quite fair and vibe is great! With the views of the Burj and the music played, the yummy taste of food just complements it beautifully. The fish is super soft, melts in your mouth. Same goes for the shoulder meat!!! Rice plate included a variety, and the Dolma dish tasted more like the Persian one, that also very tasty.

What a great restaurant. Fish was amazing, can't miss this one. This is a special dish called " Masgoof" and you must call and reserve for this one. Service is truly the Iraqi hospitality. Decor is nice, ambience is relaxing, nice Iraqi music in the background. Definitely recommend it. I would love to go back. Excellent service quality. Restrooms are clean Valet and parking available Keep up the good work from the busboy to managers are all great. Highly recommended 👌

I assume this is a very Authentic Iraqi Restaurant given the high quality of food and attention to detail from the staff. Food presentations where phenomenal and the staff was very accommodating. I was quickly made to feel at home after placing my order and receiving personal input from my waiter. I plan to return with friends on Friday to celebrate another fine year of sales.

Amazing food!!!!! Great ambiance. Great customer service. I've been to diff restaurants in Dubai but by far the food here is one of the best. You can really taste the quality of fresh ingredients. Even the fruits served during the iftar was of great quality. Overall great experience.

What a gem of a restaurant and definitely worth a visit! The surroundings are lovely, the food is amazing and the staff are wonderful without being overly attentive. My partner had been here before and had the fish which he raved about so this time we had the maklouba which was heavenly and definitely reminded me of Iraq where I worked for many years. portions are huge so beware but can't fault the place, the food or the staff! Will be back again!!

So tasty food. A lot of variety. You have to visit it several times to try all food. Thanks for Daniel and Mohamad who took care of us and kept visiting our table to make sure we are happy and satisfied. So fast service and professional. Thanks to the management by having staff like Mohamad and Daniel.

This branch disappointed me so much. Out order have homus and moutabal and both was normal. Dolma was good and delicious. Beef shawerma wasn’t tasty at all. Kitchen door was broken and noisy when they use it. Service was good in general but place was overpriced.

Jumeirah
Years ago, before the skyscrapers, before the 12-lane highway, there was only Jumeirah. In fact, when the UAE was formed, its rulers signed the agreement in Union House, at the very start of Jumeirah Beach Road. Often called “The Beverly Hills” of Dubai, a drive down Beach Road reveals one enormous, lavish villa after another. Originally residential-only neighborhoods, they are now also home to an array of cafes, smart boutiques, and art galleries. Home to one of Dubai’s few public beaches, this recently renovated area includes a new boardwalk, running and walking track, with changing facilities and cafes along the way. Another landmark, Jumeirah Mosque, is the only mosque in Dubai that can be entered by non-Muslims. As part of the Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding, the mosque hosts regular tours and talks about Islam, as part of an “Open Doors, Open Minds” program. A wonderful way to understand more about the UAE and Islam.
