The Bottom Line

Kabab Erbil is a Jumeirah restaurant for Iraqi cooking, with charcoal-grilled kebabs, masgouf fish and substantial mixed-grill-style meals. The masgouf is the standout recommendation in the reviews: diners describe it as fresh, tender and richly flavoured, with one long-term customer specifically advising fish lovers to order it. Kebabs are another reliable choice, praised for being juicy, smoky and well seasoned.

Breakfast is also available, including Makhlama, freshly baked bread and traditional breakfast dishes. The setting is warm, clean and comfortable, making it workable for families, relaxed dinners and larger groups; one party of 13 bikers reported an excellent visit. Service is repeatedly described as friendly, attentive and quick.

Complimentary touches are part of the experience, with reviews mentioning lentil soup, bread, pickles, tea, dates, fruit and dessert. Valet parking is available, which matters because one reviewer noted limited street parking on Jumeirah Street. There are a few cautions: one diner found the fish underseasoned, another thought the rice portion was small, and a visit included a short wait for seating.

Deliveroo is also available for those who prefer to order at home.
