    Came here to celebrate anniversary dinner with my boyfriend, we had an awesome time here! I suggest you to reserve before you come, apparently the restaurant was always full for dinner, not sure for lunch tho. The resto offers many mostly Iraq, Morocco, middle eastern food. The quality of the food was incredible!! The portion was really a lot for me, should have had them for sharing instead tho. The lambs were so tender and tasty, I loved it! At last, I ordered Turkish coffee to be awake after eating so much. Be careful because the coffee is very strong, and if you have acid issue like me it would cause a prob tho. Overall, it was perfect!! ❤️🙏🏽

    We were checking for a restaurant on Google Maps and we filtered the restaurants that were open. We were excited to visit your restaurant and we walked a long distance for it. We got further from the other alternatives when we were coming to your restaurant. But when we came, we saw that it is close. It was still looking open in google maps. I gave this feedback to the people who told me the restaurant is close. I told them I came by checking google maps and it looks open and it is misleading. Then we went back without eating. So, it is interesting that you did not hear this feedback that I said to those people. It is a very good thing that you check and reply the comments quickly. I wish you had the same agility for editing the opening hours.

    The lamb was delicious and tender, but it was the starters who stole the scene in this restaurant. Dishes are simple in the sense that they don't come overloaded with different ingredients, but this simplicity is in effect the key to fully appreciate the flavours. The "foul" (been salad) was absolutely from heaven! You got to try it! Nice and friendly service to top it up.

    Good food and a nice ambience. The staff is friendly and we found the service to be prompt. The lamb was cooked well. It's a bit pricey.

  • 1/5 ابو محمد �. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The restaurant is fine, but the baker is absent and we did not get tandoor bread and we were not informed about this until after the food arrived. Respond to the restaurant owner, who should apologize, not lie to the customer. Learn to respect people. Many of your responses to customers are unsuccessful (the customer is always right). (Original) المطعم جيد ، و لكن الخباز غائب و لم نحصل على خبز تنور و لم يتم اعلامنا بذلك الا بعد وصول الطعام . رد على صاحب المطعم الواجب ان تعتذر و ليس ان تكذب الزبون ، تعلم ان تحترم الناس ، كثيرا من ردودك على الزبائن غير موفقه ( الزبون دائما على حق ).

    Interesting cuisine, good service. Recommended if you fancy a pleasant meal a little different to the usual. It is a hallal restaurant and no alcohol is served. I do not recommend the non-alcoholic wine unless you like very sweet juices. Tea was very nice too.

    Middle Eastern food is a must on vacation, and this is a good one. I especially recommend Hummus and Hummus Blahma. Dog friendly

    One of the best restaurants in Brussels. The quality is very high and their dishes are exceptional, generous portions and employees are very nice. The owner is a very good person, very kind! Cocktails are of unparalleled beauty and the location is well maintained and transports you directly to the Middle East. If you want an alternative dinner with excellent Middle Eastern cuisine then this beautiful restaurant is for you!

    Lovely food for a very good price with the 50% off from the Fork. As a surprise we good some special effects by the food, that was very cool. I don’t recommend to drink wine in this place. They have it but its not on the menu, the wine tasted like it was open for too long. Besides this everything was super!

    We are here while visiting Brussels on the recommendation of some Arabic friends. The reservation process was easy, the food was delicious and the service was lovely. I really liked that they have a button to call a staff member- I think more restaurants should do that. The lamb biryani was delicious, and so was the tapsi baytinijan (probably our favorite dish). The halloumi and flatbread starter was good as well. This was our first time having Iraqi food, but we will definitely be back when we visit Brussels.

  • 1/5 MIMS S. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Anything this restaurant. This is the kind that only serves the fried / heavy consumer well. We are looked down upon if we only have tea (moreover, their tea is hachak sock juice), and no shisha. In short, I WILL NEVER GET MY FEET BACK. (Original) N'importe quoi ce resto. C est le genre qui ne sert correctement que les gens friqués/gros consommateurs. On est regardés de haut si on prend qu'un thé (d'ailleurs leur the c est du jus de chaussette hachak), et pas de chicha. Bref JAMAIS JE NE REMETTRAI LES PIEDS LA BAS.

  • 4/5 Buba B. 4 years ago on Google
    We waited for 20mins for the order to be taken, which was a bit long given that the restaurant was empty. Once the order was taken, the food arrived quite quickly (however, a plate that I got was a bit dirty). Even too quickly I’d say; my friend ordered a soup, and before he finished, the waiter brought him the main dish saying that the food is ready and trying to put the food on the table even though there was not enough space. There are not many vegetarian options. The food was very tasty, laaarge portions. Quality-price relation very reasonable.

  • 5/5 Manu K. 4 years ago on Google
    We went to Shahrazad hoping for a taste of the middle East that me and my were used to back in our school days. We weren't disappointed in the slightest! The ambience and location was great! The food was simple excellent! Perfectly flavoured and authentic without compromising in any manner. They know that meat, rice and appetizers. The service was also flawless. I'd recommend it to anyone who's looking for genuine Arabian/Iraqi cuisine.

  • 5/5 Priyadeep R. 4 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Krishanu D. 3 years ago on Google
    We really liked the food here. Can't comment on how authentic the food was since this was our only reference point. Food definitely had a lot of flavour and completely surprised us. We loved the decoration inside as well. It was just that the music wasn't really in tune to the rest of the decor and the place was pretty empty so not sure how popular it is. Staff were really helpful though and explained us whenever we had questions. We loved the experience here!

  • 5/5 Andrzej S. 3 years ago on Google
    Some friends and I went for dinner and we had an absolutely brilliant experience. The food was delicious. So much flavour, the meat was tender, and the portions are very generous. The customer service was also brilliant, so polite and friendly. I am already excited to go back!

    The restaurant is beautiful. The staff are friendly but ridged. I asked for a kubba to be added to the mezza but was told this is a special request and I’d have to order separately and it can’t be added. However they gave us a free dessert at the end. And the food was great. Ayran - very refreshing but would have been nicer if it was mdakhan (traditional) The mezza - fatoush was delicious!! Taboula was missing salt and lemon! Humus, falafel and vine leaves are to die for! 😋 Biryani - very very nice! We definitely recommend it! The dessert was lovely! And the chai was just on time! Overall we loved our time.

😠 Had to wait 30 minutes for a simple burger order. The burgers are just lying there, ready to be served, but staff is generally not capable or willing to pick one up and lay it on a platter. Be prepared to invest some time when visiting this place. Really makes you consider the "fast" in "fast food".
