Great introduction to Iraqi cuisine! Never had Iraqi food before, and middle eastern food only a few times before. The owners Steve and Frank were extremely welcoming and nice and arranged a plate specifically for me when I told them it was my first time...Read More

Excellent food! If you are looking for homestyle Iraqi cooking this is a great place to come. The man who owns the place is very friendly and cooks all the food to order. Another positive aspect is the variety of Iraqi fare that is available...Read More

Best food ever. We used to be regular customers. We really miss the food and the service Mr. Sagmani and his son always had a smile and great attitude, looking forward to eat there again.

Love this place!! I always get the beef tekka plate, the meat is so tender and flavorful. And the rice, salad and warm pita bread complement each other, making for an all-around hearty meal.

This was a deliciously authentic experience! We had hummus, falafel, beef kabob & chicken tekka sandwich! All was fresh & fantastic! This place was close to our hotel & I was so happy we read the reviews & tried it. Great prices also!

You definitely feel in Iraq when you walk through their door. And there he is, Mr. Sagmani ready to greet you as soon as you walk in. Great fun, and there’s also plenty of vegan options.

This is my "go to" spot for a healthy pick-up dinner. The chicken Tikka and fried white fish are my two favs. My husband really likes the chicken stew. It's a tomato based stew. The fried chicken cutlet is always moist and perfectly crunchy. ...Read More

Great food. I had the kebab. I'm middle eastern and picky with my kebab. These guys know how to prepare grilled meats! The owner and our server were so nice!

We used to live nearby and this was our favorite restaurant, Mr. Sagmani and his son treated us like family. The the food was fresh, hot and flavorful, when we come back to visit we are going to stop by.

Sagmani's is a classic hole in the wall gem. The food is top notch, the prices are great, and the family that owns and runs it is extremely gracious. Try the chicken tikka, fava beans, and babe ganoush.
