Our Story

From Kirkuk to the Emirates.

The family has cooked Iraqi food since 1973, from Kurdistan to the Emirates. Founded by Azad Omar, our Al Muraqqabat kitchen opened in 2003, and today his son Azad Muhammad runs both branches. No shortcuts, no gas — only fire, smoke and patience.

What is Kabab Erbil?

Iraq's most celebrated dishes, in Dubai

Kabab Erbil Iraqi Restaurant has served authentic Iraqi food in Dubai and Sharjah since 2003. Kabab Erbil is an Iraqi and Kurdish restaurant in Dubai specialising in the dishes that define Iraq's culinary identity: the national dish Masgouf (whole fish slow-grilled over tamarind wood), Quzi (a whole slow-roasted lamb over fragrant rice), Erbil-style kebab seasoned with Kurdish spice blends, and Kurdish dolma (stuffed vine leaves). We also serve a full Iraqi breakfast, daily heritage dishes, and Iraqi catering and hospitality (ضيافة) for homes, offices, weddings and events across Dubai.

Founded in 2003 by Mr. Azad Omar, we have served Dubai for over 20 years across two branches — Deira (10 Al Muraqqabat St) and Sharjah (Al Taawun St, Al Khalidiya). Same kitchen, same spice blends, same recipes.
