) 5 Me and my friend went there for a quick lunch day before ramadan. Food was so fresh and delicious. And the bone marrow was to die for. I would review 100/100
5 The best place to eat a fish in the town, by far. Cooking this grilled fish takes time, but when it arrives it's just a treat for the taste buds. It is a real pleasure to be able to share such a meal with the family.
5 Spent four days in Dubai recently and ended up coming back to Masgouf London three out of four nights — that should tell you everything. The food quality is exceptional, with flavors that feel carefully crafted rather than mass-produced. The lamb was incredibly tender and seasoned to perfection, one of the best I've had anywhere. And the dessert with cheese and honey was an unexpected highlight — a beautiful combination of sweet and savory that ended each meal perfectly. The service was equally impressive — attentive, warm, and never rushed. Easily one of the best dining experiences in Dubai. If you're in the area, don't skip this place.
5 Authentic Iraqi restaurant. The mixed grill and the appetizers and the tea and the kunafeh and luqaimat and Qaimer and masqouf were really delicious and on top of very friendly service.
5 We recently visited this amazing restaurant and were absolutely blown away! We ordered just one dish, and in return, the restaurant treated us to 8 complimentary items — each one delicious and beautifully prepared. Special thx for ALL stuff The service was truly outstanding: the staff were not just attentive, but genuinely caring. Everyone was incredibly friendly, always smiling, offering compliments, and going above and beyond to fulfill any request. They exceeded all our expectations! The interior added to the experience — it felt so warm and cozy, like visiting good friends. The atmosphere was filled with genuine hospitality and made us feel completely at home. This restaurant left us with such wonderful emotions, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who appreciates excellent service, outstanding food, and a truly welcoming environment.
5 We had a very warm welcome from Rashid who suggested how best to order considering what we wanted to eat. The Iraqi dishes were flavourful, and Rashid generously made us taste some extra ones. Amazing experience!
5 Amazing place to dine in: I loved the grilled sea bass , many thanks to the kindest and the most attentive staff and special thanks to Rashid for generous hospitality. Everything was delicious, rise, tea, fish, side stuff and bread just wow!!! I would definitely come back with friends. Thank you ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
5 I had an amazing experience at this restaurant last week! The food was absolutely delicious especially the Masgouf, which was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The deyafa (post-meal) sweets and tea were generous, tasty, and a wonderful touch to end the meal. The staff were incredibly kind and friendly, especially Wissam and Rasheed, who made the experience even better. I definitely recommend this cozy and welcoming place to anyone looking for great food and warm hospitality!
