Samad is in my opinion the nicest restaurant in the whole of Dubai. The food is amazing and the views are too. The kebab, kuzi, lentil soup (free), dolma and maqlooba are among the best items but you really can't go wrong at this place. Service is also great but can be busy sitting outside. The breakfast is also traditionally iraqi and will serve things that you won't find anywhere else. The tea is also great, served iraqi style. The kunafa is also the best one I've tried and that you can get in Dubai.

#1 Fav in Dubai Mall, what a find! Location, food, ambiance and level of service makes it stand above the rest! Prices are very reasonable given the location. A great discovery and the new preferred dinning spot! The following outstanding staff members added to the enjoyment of the overall dinning experience; Captain Ahmad, Marwan A., Ibrahim A., Ahmad H., Hosam L., and the tea perfectionist Faysal! Fine dining level of service indeed!
