Shkar Fish Restaurant

Restaurant

😠 First thing i saw was average decor and and lightings which to be honest is not a good bad thing but it doesn’t shine the eyes of a customer. Staff (mindless ugh) had their masks below their noses which made hygiene a 4/10 also the staff here couldn’t speak fluent Kurdish or Arabic which makes thing... People often mention fish, good, restaurant, service, price, salads,

    I recently dined at Shkar fish restaurant and was blown away by the freshness and quality of the seafood. The menu offered a wide variety of fish options, all cooked to perfection, with a balance of flavors that left my taste buds wanting more. The atmosphere was welcoming and relaxed, perfect for a casual night out with friends or a romantic dinner date. The service was attentive and friendly, ensuring that our dining experience was enjoyable from start to finish. Overall, I highly recommend Shkar fish restaurant for anyone looking for exceptional seafood in a comfortable and inviting setting. I can't wait to come back and try more dishes from their extensive menu!

    First thing i saw was average decor and and lightings which to be honest is not a good bad thing but it doesn’t shine the eyes of a customer. Staff (mindless ugh) had their masks below their noses which made hygiene a 4/10 also the staff here couldn’t speak fluent Kurdish or Arabic which makes things worse when ordering such consumables. Now of to the starters or salads, there was some of the most pointless salads out there like cucumber and tomato’s really do you even call that salad and they also really added just raw beetroot which I think no one even eats, however they did have some good salads like chicken caesers and hummus but it was a small portion and the hummus was too thick to even be called hummus. Now let’s venture into drinks, there was water, Coca Cola, and sprite but the staff didn’t understand the word S P R I T E goddam I feel shame coming here anyways there was also ice cubes but they were in a boil that you had pick your hands (AGAIN HYGIENE). Well this restaurant is based on a single type of fish which is common amongst the nation of Iraq in Arabic I believe it’s called Masghouf but the fish here was PINK and it wasn’t flavoured to be honest I would never eat the fish here ever. Now here comes the disappointing part, the customers here... well it’s popular due to some horrible advert which I can lawsuit due to false claims (really disappointed now). Air conditioning is not even on while the place is warmer than hellfire and this place is never quiet always bustling with screams, children playing, and folks talking. In conclusion, this place is overall a fishy bin and I would never come to a place like this. I could really help changing up this area by a lot and fix this place up. Here’s an end to my honest review. -Signed Mazyar Khidir an amateur journalist.

    Fantastic restaurant. One of the best restaurants I’ve tasted masqouf in Erbil. Friendly and welcoming staff with good banter make the dining experience enjoyable. The interior and decor is beautiful which adds to a good dining experience. I would highly recommend this restaurant and in particular order masqouf.

    Really nice and affordable restaurant with tasty fish. No menu card, the menu is set (fish with bread humus and 5 or so salad dishes). We paid 40k IQD (€ 25) for a full meal of 1kg of fish (sufficient for 2 pax) with water and 2 diet pepsi. Friendly personnel, excellent value for money - recommended.

    The taste of the Masgouf fish was fantastic, you can’t describe, although I have eat the same meal in a famous Iraqi’s restaurant in Amman but the difference is huge, in any next visit I must go there to repeat this wonderful trial. Try it and will not regret

  • 5/5 Ahmad Q. 2 months ago on Google • 27 reviews New
    Best fish restaurant in Erbil, lots of starters, the taste of the fish is very fresh, slowly well done and extra super. I have tried it many times in Iraq and Jordan, but nothing like this. Also the waiters are very friendly and take care of you very well. Very clean. Never miss the tea The price also is good and competitive. For sure I will go there whenever I have the chance. I recommend this restaurant to foreigners who would like to try a traditional dish.

  • 2/5 Sarwar N. 2 years ago on Google
    A lot of Salads, Different kinds , water and Tea all comes with the fish price of 18000 IQD about 12 $ which is overpriced , as the fish taste ok and it was cold when they served it and tasted bland. but the salads were good but again you are going there for the fish not for the salads!!!! My recommendation is go somewhere else :Dm Aras Fish may be !!!

  • 3/5 Sarmad R. 1 year ago on Google
    Fish is good most of the times, price is high, hospitality is not such good needs improvement. One time we asked to remove the plates after we finished and drinking tea but the didn’t despite we told them few times.

  • 5/5 ATIF c. 2 years ago on Google
    Reasonable price, good ambience, helpful workers... And the fish was soft, juicy and good cooked. I recommend to try once if you love fish.

  • 1/5 Saadulla D. 1 year ago on Google
    Very high price. We paid 55,000 for two persons. You can eat the most delicious food in Dawa restaurant with 50k for two persons plus a very delicious fish. Not recommended!

    My favourite fish place in Erbil. Their service is amazing, their side salads are humble but good. Their masgouf is the best I've ever had. But don't forget to order the fish in advance!
