This place is awesome! I can not say enough good things. The owner is the chef and his presentation and flavor profiles are unreal! Best chicken Shwarma plate I’ve ever had. This chef has been cooking dishes like this for 17 years and decided to open up his own place. The ambiance of the place is great. I don’t think I’ve ever been in a cleaner restaurant. You ca tell that the owner cares about this and is dedicated to an amazing dining experience. I will be coming very often.

I didn’t grow up eating Mediterranean food, but my husband is Middle Eastern and very particular about it. We usually struggle to find a restaurant we both truly enjoy — until now. This place is exceptional and checks all the boxes for both of us. The food is flavorful and authentic, the service is outstanding, and the atmosphere is clean, warm, and welcoming. The staff are also wonderfully patient and gracious when answering questions about the menu, which makes the whole experience even better. Do yourself a favor and give this place a try — you won’t be disappointed!

We were craving for Middle Eastern and found Dijlah Restaurant. Our usual go to Middle Eastern Gyros and Kabob is temporarily closed due to fire. Dijlah Restaurant opened 3 months ago. I highly recommend. Our dishes was delicious. We would definitely go back again. Owner and staff were great. Go check them out.

This is a great iraqi food. The pompano and the rice was amazing, the hummus the iraqi bread was soft and fluffy, the eggplant stew was delicious. First time coming here but will definitely will come often. Plus, the people are so nice and sweet. They kept on checking on us, if we need anything. You can tell from the second picture. It’s clean.. clean..clean… 😁
