Iraqi traditional food

Iraqi cuisine is enormously varied. There are first of the popular places which traditionally specialize in certain dishes, such as Kebab grills, grilled liver and hearts. Guss, Mosul kubba, etc. Then there are the first-class restaurants where, besides Western food, delicious Iraqi dishes are served, e.g., stuffed quiz (grilled whole lamb stuffed with rice, almonds, raisins and spices.). If the weather is favorable and you go to one of the innumerable “casinos” along the river-drive called Abu Nuwas street, you will enjoy mazguf fish, grilled on an open circular fire of tamarisk wood before you, with thousands of coloured lights shimmering in the Tigris waters.
