Dejla Pastry

We shared Lahmacun with egg (similar to a pizza) and Quzi (lamb and rice) it was more than enough for two people. Delicious flavors. Staff was friendly and helpful with our orders. This is a storefront restaurant so there are those limitations on the atmosphere but the food more than makes up for any decorations.

We came here for the first time for lunch. The food was delicious, but our experience could have been better.

It would be great to include what the dishes consist of on their menu, so that first-timers like us could better understand what it is we're ordering. Also, please add water bottles to the drinks selection in the fridge as there weren't any & if it's something we could ask for at the counter, we wouldn't have been able to anyway because the crew was so busy at the back that we couldn't get a second to ask them.

We love trying out food from different cultures. When it was our turn to order, I had to ask what the dish tasted like (spicy or sweet) & if it was for single or multiple serving because those weren't indicated on the overhead menu.

The lady taking our order seemed to be the one in charge of the restaurant. We could see that she was very busy coordinating multiple large tray orders. She seemed irritated with my questions & was a little curt with me.

We're Asian & we look southeast Asian & I couldn't have been more aware of this as we lined up to order because the lady taking our order & the rest of the crew in the kitchen were giving us weird looks. It did make me feel out of place considering it was our first time here.

The wait time wasn't long even though the kitchen crew was giving out multiple large-tray orders left & right. The food was delicious & new to our taste buds. It's clear that they are popular with so many orders going out.

There were many families with young kids who dined in at the same time we did, so we could say that it's a family-friendly restaurant as it was also spacious for large numbers of people.

Iraqi groceries and restaurants.
Serving all kind of authentic Iraqi dishes.
Best one in Houston area.
Highly recommend if you want to have a nostalgia to the good old days.
