We ordered a combo for 5 there was plenty of food but my god it was all charred and so over done and dry. We could only eat about 10 percent of it and threw the rest away. It a waste of 80 dollars

I had a fantastic experience at Ishtar Restaurant! The food was delicious and full of flavor, and the staff were friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The atmosphere was cozy and perfect for a relaxed meal. Highly recommended for anyone looking for great food and excellent service

Ishtar Restaurant is absolutely beautiful—elegant, well-decorated, and truly feels like a special dining experience. As an Iraqi, it genuinely made me happy to see our culture and cuisine represented in such a classy way. The food was good and well-presented, though some dishes were a bit on the bland side for my personal taste.
The main reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is the price. It’s very expensive, and the fact that tips start at $14 feels excessive...
