   Such great food at this Iraqi spot. The Kebab Erbil was outstanding and the Quzi with tepsi stew was like a warm hug! The breakfast at this place also cannot be missed. The Iraqi tea also is a 10.

   Highly recommended. Great restaurant serving Iraqi cuisine. Restaurant is open early on Sat for breakfast and full menu available by 1100. Service is fast and very friendly. Not cheap but very good value.

   I went to Al Enam with a group of friends and really enjoyed the experience. The service was friendly and welcoming, and the food was full of flavor. We ordered the big mixed grill which was very tasty, especially the lamb chops, though there were only three included. They had run out of chicken shawarma which was a bit disappointing, but they gave us chicken shish instead and it was still good. The yellow rice was delicious, and the complimentary lentil soup with croutons was simple but really flavoursome. The only downsides were the lack of parking, not being able to pre-book a table so we had to wait, and the fact that they close quite early. Overall though, the food and service made it a great place to eat and I’d definitely go back.

   The ONLY Iraqi restaurant I will go to in London that is genuine, clean, not overly oily or an Iranian copycat! Delicious food from starters to mains then the compulsory Iraqi cardamon tea and kaahi (filo pastry with syrup and clotted cream). The kebab is delicious and I always take some of their frozen kebabs and kubbat halab home with me— my children adore these and they come out really well in the Air Fryer— plus the complimentary lentil soup is a highlight for me (so creamy, so simple and satisfying). The food is not overly saturated with oil, as I find in majority of other Iraqi (and Iranian) restaurants, which I find really off putting. I don’t get the complaints of small portions in some of the reviews, as I can eat most under the table, but have yet to finish my main and always end up with a doggy bag! With my tishreeb, I had at least one whole flat bread in the tomato sauce, an entire lamb shank (with the extra bits!), chickpeas, complimentary bread and pickles. I mean, more than that, it would need to be labelled as ‘for two’ surely. I do order sides too, like teboule and babaghanough, AND leave a little room for dessert, otherwise I’d need to be rolled out of the restaurant. The two elegant owners, who often sit at the entrance by the till, managing everything with a vigilant eye and a calm smile, are a reminder of the Iraq of before. Not whatever it is today. There’s a real mix of clientele, and the service is great (sincere and efficient). I’ve recommended this place to all who ask me where to sample Iraqi food. It is the next best thing after a home cooked meal.

   Great food, amazing portions and great value for money. Great service from their staff here and more than happy to help out with the menu selection. I really enjoyed their mixed grilled and their cheese sambousa accompanied with their freshly made naan bread. It was a great and flavourful experience trying their mixed grill, particularly enjoyed their lamb shish the most. Would highly recommend to anyone who likes Iraqi cuisine.

   I like this restaurant, it is Iraqi but you find the good taste of the Arabic food in general, personally I like the mixed grill (they made it smaller than they used to what is a shame) and the lentil soup, kibbah, batata harrah! Those people they know what is good taste! And cheers for the kitchen for the good taste!

   I found this restaurant on Google after the food delivery failed me. It is in a quite odd location among those industrial settings. I arrived late for lunch and it was not busy. The place is clean and neat, and the servers were keen. Not know much about Iraqi food, so ordered some basic things: mix grill and tea (as they didnt have hot water). The food came with lentil soup and rice or bread which was pretty nice. The kebabs were impressively juicy with proper marinated flavour. The portion was on a bit of bigger side for me and should be good for most of big appetite. For the price, it may be a little more than you would expect for such location, but given the food quality and the service, I find it acceptable for a London eatery.

   Don’t be fooled by its location! This is a lovely clean restaurant with perfect lighting, and ambience, full of beautiful Arabs and music. The food is off the scale, and more than reasonable. Firstly they serve you with a tasty lentil soup served with their style of croutons. We had the most delicious aromatic taboule, rocket salad with pomegranate bursting with mouthwatering flavours, the most beautiful, and tasty hummus ever presented to me along with a selection of fine cut of kebab. The kofte is so lean and tender, and all the meats have their own distinct seasoning. The staff are attentive, and generous. It does close a little too early for my liking but it’s better to eat early and definitely worth the trip. You will not be disappointed.
