Masgouf - مطعم مسكوف

The best Arabic food ever, delicious food, friendly staff, cosy place 🤍🤍

My buddy and I tried this place when we stayed nearby in London. I have had Middle Eastern food many times, but Masgouf specialized in Iraqi-style preparations. I never had that, but I loved it.

We were welcomed like family and treated like tru guests. I always appreciate that. The hummus was expertly prepared, and lamb mains were just as good. I'll come back.

I find immense joy in savoring the vibrant flavors of Iraqi cuisine, especially when it comes to kebabs. The tender, succulent meat, perfectly seasoned and grilled to perfection, combined with fragrant rice and an array of fresh herbs and vegetables, creates an unforgettable culinary experience that beautifully reflects the rich heritage and hospitality of Iraq.

We visited Masgouf for lunch, and it was great. We were the only ones in at that time, so we managed to get a good table by the doors. The staff are great and we got served very quickly. We went for a mix of starters: hoummos with meat, which was amazing, rich lentil soup, and a fresh beetroot salad with lemon juice. The mains were brilliant, I went for Kouzi with fall off the bone meat and soft puffy saffron rice. My better half went for Masgouf, which was a grilled seabass that tasted great. We also received a Mohalabiah on the house, which was sweet and fresh. Overall, a nice filling lunch for two for under £100, highly recommended!

Impeccable service by Ramy and his team! Every single visit has been mind blowing. They all treat you so well and with so much respect. The food itself is tasteful, atmosphere is amazing. Everyone is so welcoming, the team is so warm and always in good spirits.

Definitely recommend.
