    The same comment that I had on Baghdad's branch 😇 But what makes it all 5 ⭐ is the space. It has outdoor seating and the inside is spacious not like Baghdad's res. The outdoor seating is beautiful especially in Winter ❄️ The food is great and the hookah was very well done. The staff are even better than Baghdad's branch, which means both are the best! ⭐ Will always go back there each time 😇

    Liked the restaurant and it's food ... but they had many items missing from Thier menu for some reason... The food was tasty and it took a while for it to come ... But over all it was a nice experience. Parking is a bit of a Hassel and you need to use the valet parking services if you want to make it easy on your mind.

    The place is nice but the seatings are not comfortable. There are no seats available for 2 persons only. The arrangements of the tables are overwhelming and unnecessary. Their Hooka is bad I asked to change it because there was a burn test and the captain completely ignored me. Their mains are good but they don’t do good job with the Kabab it was so unflavored and not well done. Yet we did not go during a crowded time but unfortunately it was bad experience and a waste of money.

    This place was wonderful and may be our new local favorite! Service was top notch and so hospitable. Our food was fresh and delicious. Bread was hot and so, so good. Will definitely be back! Highly recommend. Yes, more pricey then other places, but portions were huge! In fact, I think my husband and I each have 1-2 meals extra with our leftovers!

  • 5/5 Sally A. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was super good especially the Dolma. service was so so kinda of off when we asked for Masquof fish they kept saying oh take two hours of cooking without offering us something. Or Paja oh only in winter then make season menu. Overall highly recommend it but the location in Dubai is much better

    When you decide visiting Samad restaurant, it's important to note that the parking is actually free of charge. However, finding a parking spot can be a bit challenging. Additionally, be prepared to leave the key of your vehicle with the parking attendant for added security. The initial reception at the restaurant was great, but it seemed like they assumed it was our first time there. As a result, they initially offered us a seating area under the stairs, which could have posed a problem with dust falling onto our food as people went upstairs. After expressing our concerns about this seating arrangement, they were accommodating and found a corner for our group of eight. While it wasn't the best spot, at least it provided some relief from the potential dust. On a positive note, the salad served was fresh and delicious, and the various cuisines offered were of great quality. The flavors were satisfying, and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. However, one area for improvement would be implementing a policy that ensures all customers are equally treated and seated comfortably. It would be beneficial for the restaurant to prioritize customer satisfaction and ensure that everyone's dining experience is enjoyable and hassle-free. Overall, despite the initial seating challenges, the food at this restaurant exceeded our expectations. It's worth a visit for the fresh and delicious salads and the great variety of cuisines. I hope that the restaurant takes into consideration the feedback provided and works towards creating an equally enjoyable experience for all customers.

    Very very nice food, highly recommend, their staff are very nice, and their food is very delicious, and the portions are massive, all of that being said, it’s a little on the pricey side but if you go with family or friends and have a good time, then it’s totally worth it, and over all it’s good 👍🏻

    Their Quzi was recommended to me and I tried it. I'm sorry to say that it disappointed me. I was expecting something way better than what they served. It wasn't bad but for the price they ask, you could get better options elsewhere. However their service is nice and neat. Their tea guy makes sure you have your tea after your meal.

    The place is near in almost everywhere, the food is great and feels like home made food. Large parking space, but the food is somewhat overpriced, but to be onest it deserves especially when you compare with other restaurants with the same price.

  • 5/5 omar l. 4 years ago on Google
    One of the best restaurants I have visited. it has an open buffet style at morning, and its price is reasonable and not expensive. The open buffet (morning one) costs 10,000 IQD per person and it is really great and their food is 9 out of 10, lacks a few stuff and a few foreign foods but otherwise it's really great. Its parking garage is really great and their staff are professional and friendly too! Definitely worth a visit in my opinion.

    Great taste for the food and great value for the price. Service and place are perfect. Won’t bother in searching for any other restaurant in erbil. Samad is The place to eat. Only negative thing is they don’t accept visa for payment, I mean it’s 2023 gents. We should be more than okay in accepting visa cards.
