Welcome to Baghdad, Iraq! Today we’re eating the best Iraqi street food in Baghdad!
A huge thank you to Ahmet and Aya from https://enliltravels.com/ for arranging my trip to Iraq.
Kubba Saray – We’re starting in Old Baghdad to try a unique version of kubba from an old shop tucked within the book and school market.
Shabandar Café – Located on the iconic Mutanabbi Street in Baghdad, you’ll find the oldest teahouse. And I tried Nooma Basri, a dried lime tea. Afterwards, just outside I ate some classic winter Iraqi street foods including chickpeas and turnips.
Bourek Taha – Just down the road you’ll find Bourek Taha that has served the Iraqi version of bourek for generations.
Mr. Garbage Raisin Juice – This place is legendary and their raisin juice hits the spot.
Abu Hussein Iraqi Gus – Just about every country in the Middle East has their own version of shawarma, and every version is a little different. Gus is the Iraqi version of shawarma, and I was very curious to see how it tasted.
Al Qameh Restaurant – For lunch in Baghdad, Ahemet took me to one of his favorite spots for a mix of homestyle Iraqi dishes and stews including lamb quzi.
Baghdadi Restaurant – But of all the amazing Iraqi foods, Masgouf is the king of them all, a slow roasted freshwater carp fish, standing vertically with a blazing fire. This is one of the world’s greatest fire grilling bbq techniques.
Hamooqy – Finally, we headed to Hamooqy, a legendary Iraqi street food vendor to try his unique meatballs and omelets.

HI
Mark Wiens,
I hope you are doing great and continuing your incredible journey safely.
I have watched several of your videos, and I truly admire the work you have been doing for such a long time. What you are doing is not ordinary at all. Traveling solo across countries and sharing the beauty of cultures, variety foods and the kindness of people around the world is something very special.
I understand that this kind of journey is not easy — it is not everyone’s cup of tea. It requires courage, passion, strength, and a big heart. You are not just traveling; you are inspiring millions of people to see the world differently and May you always stay healthy, safe, and continue exploring the beauty of the world with all your heart.
With respect and admiration
The cuisine of the oldest civilization in the world
