I had the pleasure of dining at Samad Al Iraqi Restaurant recently, and I must say it was an extraordinary experience from start to finish. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and impeccable service that set the tone for the entire afternoon. The decor and atmosphere of the restaurant are simply stunning. It effortlessly combines traditional and modern elements, creating a welcoming and elegant ambiance that transports you to another world. It's the kind of place where you can have an intimate dinner or a lively celebration, and it never fails to impress. Now, let's talk about the food. Every dish we tried was a culinary masterpiece, but the standout was undoubtedly the Samak Masgoof. This char-grilled whole fish was a revelation. It was tender, perfectly cooked, and bursting with authentic flavors that danced on the palate. The presentation was artful, showcasing the chef's dedication to not only taste but also visual appeal. Samad Al Iraqi Restaurant is a true gem that captures the essence of Iraqi cuisine with finesse. The quality and authenticity of their dishes are truly remarkable, making it a must-visit for anyone who appreciates exceptional food and an unforgettable dining experience. I can't wait to return and savor their culinary delights once more.

Actually 0 star, but 1 star for the complimentary Roti. I read the review, and I came with huge expectation. Once I arrived, no one greeted me. I asked for a menu, he passed it to me, and didn't offer to seat me. I found my own seat, but the menu is filled with iraqian jargon, I asked the waiter about the food, he explained. And while I continue to look through, he just left me after few seconds, without asking if I needed any further assistance. Maybe it's my appearance, they think I can't afford to eat here, and treated me like rubbish. No smiles, no welcomes. I wanted to leave. But I still proceeded, to taste the food. I tried the lamb makloba (not sure of the spelling). Price is about rm66 (approximately). The rice is not that tasty. I unable to finish it. The lamb is not juicy, the spices is not adequate. Felt like something is missing. I forced myself to eat. Not a good experience, after being hyped by the review. And I ordered a kiwi just for about rm22. Good portion, but it is too sour, and I found 3 small stone in it. It's still quiet sweet, so I slowly drank and finish it. Things that you can improve: 1. Always smile and greet to your customer. 2. Have a courtesy to ask if everything is OK before leaving your customer, don't leave them hanging. 3. Please improve your lamb, so that it really worth that amount of money.

Possibly the only restaurant in KL serving Iraqi cuisine. Is an upmarket place with excellent ambience and service (albeit some language problem sometimes). Free soup and pickled vegetables are served as starters. The soup was quite tasty - some sort or barley or wheat soup in a flavourful broth. The pickled vegetables were quite piquant and opened up the appetite. Plain Hummus came with some types of sunflower seed or kuaci? The texture of the hummus was soft and creamy. Served with a crispy and warm bread to scoop up the hommus. Top notch and Highly Recommended. Chicken Biryani was excellent. The rice was flavourful enough to eat on its own. It was topped with cashew nut and green peas and served with baked beans on the side (which you can ignore). The star was the fall-off-the-bone chicken which was also crispy on the outside. It had an amazing aroma and taste. Definitely dish I’d return to have again and Highly Recommended. The Turkish coffee was strong and grainy. It’s authentic but it’s an acquired taste unless you’re familiar with this type of coffee. Overall the food prices are a little on the high side but you get good quality and tasty food. Definitely worth a try if you’re in the area.

The food is delicious and great just the environment is warm not cold. Maybe because its in the end corner. The staff is very friendly and very good to do birthday party here as the staff joined to and they even do a surprise which they close light and sang birthday song together. How cool is that. the decoration is fantastic, feel really in Iraq or arab country. the service is very good..excellent. The food overall for me taste good, the bread is very soft n not chewy. french fries is very good, hotel rated. For Kibbeh, sorry to say, not to my liking, its bland, no taste. And the one looks like popiah, inside is cabonara taste but with sesame, it doesn't goes well. Chicken with rice and the beef maqlobah.. the chicken n beef is very tender n juicy. Not dry. The rice, yes very delicious. Taste very delicious, Hotel rated. Muttabal very delicious, the texture is perfect. Lastly is the Lentil added with rice 🤔 i cant comment much on the food. i will come again to try on other dishes which i havent try. The tea aromatic is strong. Is good for cooling down and digest after eating a meal. best take without sugar. The taste still nice. another review please review under Soffarina.

I visited Samad Al Iraqi restaurant for lunch and I was very impressed by the quality and variety of the food. The restaurant offers authentic Iraqi dishes as well as international cuisine, and the portions are generous and satisfying. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was cozy and elegant. I ordered the hummus, the quzi Iraqi, and the tabouleh, and they were all delicious and fresh. The hummus was creamy and smooth, the quzi Iraqi was tender and flavorful, and the tabouleh was refreshing and crunchy. The restaurant also provides unlimited tasty fresh bread, which was a nice touch. The prices were reasonable for the quality and quantity of the food, and I felt that I got good value for my money. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves Middle Eastern food or wants to try something new and different. Samad Al Iraqi restaurant is one of the best restaurants in Kuala Lumpur, and I can't wait to go back and try more dishes from their menu.

An Iraqi friend brought me to this place. I have never tried Iraqi food before and would not be able to distinguish the origins of each Arabic food I have tried. For example, the salad tabouleh is consumed in Dubai and Doha. It is also served in this Iraqi restaurant. I am guessing the food in Middle East is similar but distinct in each of the country's way. The lamb rice is similar to a mendi rice but different because it does not come with a salsa-like condiment or a sauce to go with it. Instead it has slivers of aromatic almond to garnish it complimenting the fluffy rice and lamb. The other dish is red sauce based where the bread soaks up the sauce. This I would consider special as I have not seen this elsewhere. This may be a typical Iraqi dish. I like this as the flavour is appetising yet not overpowering. It was a great experience.
