The place is like no other. One would have to try it out to see. There are plenty of vegan options here, which is a plus.

I’d added this place to google maps when I first happened across it and could not believe a place with such fabulous food wasn’t on the map! So happy to see you guys are still going strong!

Absolutely delicious food! The beef shawarma tasted like authentic Iraqi kas! The portions were very large and prices were affordable. Owner and son were very kind and attentive, and gave us free tea after our meal plus extra bread. There was plenty of seating indoors and outdoors for dine in. Parking is available on the side of the building. Overall, great experience and I absolutely recommend! Will definitely be back here the next time I'm in San Diego.

They didn't have a printed menu and so we asked them to just bring us a sampling of their dishes. They made us an incredible, delicious feast and then only wanted to charge us $50, which we augmented with a large tip. Such nice people! Excellent food!

If you drove by this place you probably would not stop. However, you would be missing a great food experience. This is a genuine Iraqi restaurant. The food includes great kebabs and my favorite-the lentil soup. You are given tons of pita bread with your meal. The prices are very reasonable usually about $8 per plate. The owner is a jovial, friendly guy. You know the place is authentic because it is frequented by Iraqi nationals.
