Al Enam

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.

The food was expensive, not tasty and very little. You would do better buying street food, at least you would get more food at cheaper. I didn't even finish the small portion they provided..and my taste buds were screaming at me.

Most amazing catering service. We trusted them for our son’s wedding and they were amazing. Very professional, everyone was so happy and the food was first class and very tasty. We are recommending you to all our friends. Thank you very much for making the wedding even more special. The owners are very professional and most lovely people.

All meats served are halal. No pork or alcohol served.
