This was an unexpected and pleasant surprise. I usually go to a different restaurant for Middle Eastern food whenever I’m in El Cajon. But it was closed for remodeling, and in search of an alternative, I found this hidden gem. The gentleman who made the food was very welcoming and hospitable. The food was some of the tastiest Middle Eastern food I’ve ever had. Prices are very reasonable, portion size is big, service is great, and the food is delicious. This easily made my...

Ordered the grilled Tilapia fish to go. It is price per lb. $7/lb take away $8 to stay and eat. We took it to go. Came with tomatoes, onions, dressing and bread. The fish was cold by the time we got home but it was grilled perfectly and so tasty. Fishes are on display in the counter and you can pick which one you want. Weighted in front of you. Took 20-25 min to cook the fish. Free parking lot. Simple decor to restaurant. Owner is very nice.

The restaurant seems from the first look normal or low quality and cleanliness. But to be honest it has the best Iraqi way fish which they called MASGOOF. We had the best lunch today and the owner he is an old man recommended us ALQATAN fish a big one like 10 bounds fish and cooked it with the Iraqi way. It’s amazing, very delicious and juicy. The taste will never come out from my mouth
