   ☆☆☆☆☆ ★★★★★ 2025-02-08 ‎‏One of the finest restaurants and the best food they have. The first restaurant in Baghdad, without a doubt. When you enter the restaurant, it is strange and full of optimism and respect from the inside and the food. It is a very elegant restaurant with healthy food for people who are famous for healthy food and their lives. As for the healthy Western dishes that contain the most delicious, wonderful, beautiful and best food, my rating will be 5 stars and I will always be there when I visit the place 𝄞 🍷🎬

   ☆☆☆☆☆ ★★★★★ 2025-05-16 Visited HuQQabaz during my trip to Baghdad and it was amazing! The atmosphere was magical, with a beautiful view of the Tigris River and the dancing fountain truly mood lifting The food and starters were delicious and the service was excellent Special thanks to the girl at the entrance, Qamar, who found us a table super quickly and with a great attitude One of the best spots in Baghdad, no doubt!

   ☆☆☆☆☆ ★★★★★ 2025-01-20 I used to have best Shisha there but not this time , the bread was not fresh, this supposed to be a Turkish restaurant but unfortunately they don’t serve the most popular desserts like Kunafa and Baklava. Meat was average . Our experience was not what we expected.

   ☆☆☆☆☆ ★★★★★ 2025-05-13 Very loud music, we couldn't even hear each other. Suppose in this kind of place plays quite music. Veryyy EXPENSIVE. Staff bit rude they say most of good place is reserved. Untill we left no one came on these tables.

   ---

   ☆☆☆☆☆ ★★★★★ 2025-01-15 very crowded, unsuitable music choices, very bad service even though the staff was very nice and welcoming yet the service was bad went there for breakfast and dinner each was worse than the other and VERY VERY overpriced and VERY VERY little portions of food the breakfast was embarrassing no eggs only boiled and alot of carbs no protein only two boiled eggs i hope they can make use of this review and improve their restaurant HuQQabaz Baghdad is a hookah lounge and restaurant in Baghdad, Iraq. It likely offers a variety of hookah flavors, alongside Middle Eastern cuisine, potentially including traditional dishes like kebabs, mezze platters, and grilled items. The establishment probably provides a social atmosphere with comfortable seating, dim lighting, and traditional music. The overall goal is to create a relaxing and enjoyable experience for patrons who wish to socialize while smoking hookah and eating.

   ☆☆☆☆☆ ★★★★★ 2025-02-14 Whatever I talk about this restaurant isn’t enough actually. Very kind and welcoming staff. The pizza is exactly how it should be and finally a quite well-decorated place in Baghdad, there is many private places that you can simply sit and talk without being overwhelmed by noise

   ---

   ☆☆☆☆☆ ★★★★★ 2024-08-11 Service can be improved, specially the welcoming from the waiters. Food was very yummy; however, it needs to be more “Italian”. The look and feel was great, but the taste can be improved. Overall, I think Grano is the first project in Baghdad to be able to perfectly cook and serve Italian cuisine. I will come back again.

   ☆☆☆☆☆ ★★★★★ 2025-01-04 I came here after a failed attempt at a Korean reataurant. Ordered my all time favorite Spaghetti al pomodoro and it was so good. Exactly the taste, texture that I expected! Cannot recommend enough for spaghetti lovers! The ambience is warm, cozy, quiet and great for fine dining. I will come back for more :)

   ---

   ☆☆☆☆☆ ★★★★★ 2024-08-14 The atmosphere at Grano is truly enchanting. The moment I stepped inside, I felt transported to Italy. The ambiance is warm, inviting, and perfect for a leisurely meal. The culinary experience was exceptional. We were greeted with a delightful sourdough bread that was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with a complex flavor that hinted at a long fermentation process. A fantastic start! (9.5/10) The pizza is undoubtedly a highlight. The pepperoni pizza was an absolute revelation. The crust was perfectly charred, the sauce was tangy and flavorful, and the pepperoni was perfectly balanced. It's without a doubt the best pepperoni pizza I've ever tasted. (10/10) The Margherita, while excellent, didn't quite reach the same heights as the pepperoni. The basil was fresh and the cheese was creamy, but something was just slightly missing. Still, it was a solid 8/10.

   ☆☆☆☆☆ ★★★★★ 2024-08-16 With an Italian atmosphere, simple style with some plants and old-fashioned pictures, They give you a nice experience, convenient service, and a menu that is clearly Italian in nature. I must say that I am not a person of refined taste or have any professional experience with Italy. But I can say that it is a nice experience that you can come alone or take your family with you. As for my personal experience, I ordered Neapolitan pizza and Tiramisu cake. The pizza was delicious and had a special tomato sauce. But I must warn you about the way to eat it as it is somewhat different from other pizzas, so before you order it, please watch a video on YouTube on how to eat it the right way so that you can have a suitable experience. There is no need to worry about WiFi. They already have it. About Tiramisu cake, it's a must to order if you're sweets lover, with very soft cream and texture, and hints of coffee. It melts in your mouth. You can't even feel the ladyfinger Biscuits. It is as delicious as it looks. Do I recommend it? It's about taste, but I do. It's not busy for holidays, so If you look for a calme place to chill and chat with or meet someone, it's definitely nice. You can stay longer if you want to read your personal books or just enjoy the place. شارع نادي اليرموك الترفيهي, Baghdad, Baghdad Governorate, Iraq

Definitely recommend the hell outta this place 9.4/10

While the full scope of their offerings and atmosphere is unknown from just the name, the business clearly caters to those seeking Italian food. It's a potential dining option for lovers of pizza and pasta. 888P+WJM, Baghdad, Baghdad Governorate, Iraq

   ☆☆☆☆☆ ★★★★★ 2023-07-28 The BEST Wings in Baghdad 😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥 The wings lovers must visit this place. They will LOVE it. The wings were so crispy and the sauces were so yummy. I loved the idea of choosing the sauces and the levels of spicy. They have boneless wings as well, besides the breaded and regular wings. Honey mustache chicken salad is very delicious. The party starter is very delicious as well but the chicken bites are kinda spicy 🔥 Never regret visiting this place and will do it again.

   ---

   ☆☆☆☆☆ ★★★★★ 2023-02-04 I was wondering when do we get a proper restaurant serving wings in baghdad but now the time has finally come . So i tried the boneless wings (8 pieces) and the taste was amazing especially the sauce they truly nailed it the only one thing was frustrating if you order boneless you have 8 pieces and you have to choose only one sauce they really should increase it up to 4 types and we also ordered tacos it was decent but honestly i wont try it again in near future I’m thrilled to revisit this restaurant again and try different sauces 😋 شارع 52، Baghdad, Baghdad Governorate, Iraq
