Mazaya

Reviewed By powerking80 - Baghdad, Iraq

This restaurant was one if the best , this rating is achieved when it opened and during the following few months.
Now the test is completely different
1. Lamb meat as well as chicken are not fresh and the are difficult to each , very hard to be digested.
2. Nothing special in rice test , the flavor is bad.
3. Salads is my major problem, all salad types are not fresh at all.
4. Juice is not fresh and not cold at all.
5. Prices are not suitable regarding the food quality.
Im very disappointed in this visit and I would never come back.

Coral Restaurant

Reviewed By Matthew C - Watford

This restaurant was the venue for a business meeting with a new associate, and served that purpose very well. Service was prompt, friendly and attentive without being stifling. Our food came without undue delay, was attractively presented and hot. I had a perfectly acceptable penne al arrabiata which only lacked a little heat to be really good, whilst my colleague's spaghetti (carbonara, I think) looked equally good.
Someone looking for an authentic Iraqi meal would probably be better going off going elsewhere, but for those wanting a well prepared and served international meal in a smart environment need look no further.

Saj Alreef Baghdad

Reviewed By Hayder A - Sohar, Oman

You may say that this restaurant is for fast food although you can find some main eastern dishes, but still counted as fast food restaurant.
The restaurant looks more a cafe than a restaurant, the dishes are above average,
Salads most likely to be in the average.
Parking area problem, very difficult to find place.

The first time I went to that Restaurant was a year ago, at that time a friend invite to that restaurant. I want there and my friend wasn't there yet . . . I told the waiters that am waiting a friends and in addition to offering me some juice he offered a book ! ! 1
Yea, they have a nice book shelves so you can pick one and read while you are waiting for your order (or waiting your friend).
the whole atmosphere and the decoration style make you feel like you are in some fancy Baghdadi Houses at 1940's
Go there and try the MASKUF Fish, I Recommended it
