Dining

Iraqi cuisine has ancient roots, with influences from early Mesopotamian cultures and neighbouring regions such as Persia, Syria, and Turkey. Over the centuries, these influences have shaped a diverse and intricate culinary tradition. Typical Iraqi dishes include 'dolma' (stuffed grape leaves), kebabs, and various stews. While dishes like falafel, pita with hummus, and biryani are popular in the broader Middle Eastern region, they are more commonly associated with Levantine or South Asian cuisines.
