Fish cooked on the banks of the Tigris June 9, 2007
Posted by CamdenKiwi in : Cafes & Restaurants, London , trackbackJust had lunch with my friend Aboodi who, although one of the most British blokes I’ve ever met, was actually made in Baghdad. We went, which will not surprise those who know him, to an Iraqi restaurant in W2, by Marble Arch. Le Chef Masgouf is named for a traditional Iraqi dish, where a fish is caught, flayed and grilled on the riverbank.
We started with some tabbouleh and hummus, and deep-fried meat pastries, which were delicious, and then shared a Masgouf fish between us.
Simple, fairly cheap (about £40 for two, with no booze bill because its dry). The service was a little slow, but that’s fine when you just want to sit and chat with friends.
