Samad Al Iraqi Restaurant

Unclaimed

Wonderfully decorated place with authentic and flavorful Arabic Iraqi dishes. Everything was delicious and service was excellent plus the cozy inviting atmosphere. We got the lamb Maqluba , the mix grilled platter also the mushroom soup and kebbah. Portions were huge and super tasty. They complimented us with lentil soup and white beans which was nice of them. Loved everything about the place, food & service. They had a wonderful Ramadan atmosphere as well. Definitely returning for couple of more times before leaving Kuala Lumpur. Quick update: went again for Ramadan breakfast buffet, don’t know how to describe it as they had plenty of dishes from meats, chicken, seafood and veggies. Many appetizers and lots of desserts. Amazing place don’t miss out on it. You will not regret it. Shisha was amazing too with excellent and inviting service.

The food is absolutely delicious and reasonable – what a perfect combination! The staff is amazing, and the restaurant’s ambiance creates the perfect setting for a memorable dining experience. I couldn't get enough of their hummus – it's out of this world – and the 3 rice sampler was an unforgettable treat! 11/10! Highly recommend this place! When you’re in Malaysia, don’t miss it – it’s not just a meal, it’s an experience you’ll want to add to your itinerary. We know we will be back for sure!

A memorable experience, have visited their location in London before, the setting in Kuala Lumpur is nicer. Visited with my wife and parents, and we were all thoroughly satisfied. The food was authentic, flavorful, and beautifully presented, and we loved it. The service was warm and attentive, and the staff made us feel truly welcome. The atmosphere struck a perfect balance between traditional and elegant, creating a great setting for family dining. We left full and happy, though I honestly wish I had room for more. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to experience real Iraqi cuisine at its finest.

If you’re in Kuala Lumpur and craving authentic Middle Eastern cuisine, look no further—this Iraqi restaurant is hands down the best in the city. From the moment you walk in, the warm ambiance and welcoming staff set the tone for an unforgettable dining experience. The food? Absolutely phenomenal. Every dish bursts with rich, traditional flavors that taste like home-cooked perfection. The kebabs were juicy and perfectly seasoned, the rice fragrant and fluffy, and the dips—especially the hummus—were smooth and flavorful. But the real star of the show? The kinafa. Words truly don’t do it justice. It was out of this world—crispy on the outside, soft and gooey in the middle, and perfectly sweet without being overpowering. It’s worth the visit for that alone. On top of the amazing food, the service was impeccable. The staff were attentive, kind, and genuinely passionate about their cuisine. I’ve eaten at many Middle Eastern spots around KL, but this one stands in a league of its own. Highly, highly recommend.

Uncommon to find a restaurant selling Iraqi food. I am very pleased to say the quality of the food was excellent and authentic. Excellent service, lovely atmosphere and I would happily come back as a regular. A word of warning though, these portions are also traditional in that you'll be very well fed, so make sure you're hungry before going!
