Aubergine and Dolma are staple dishes in most Iraqi kitchens. Kahi is a popular breakfast dish favourite in Iraq. A traditional bean dish called bigilla is popular as well. Masgouf and tepsibaytinijan are found in many places. Pork is forbidden here; therefore you will rarely see bacon, sausage and ham. Coffee and tea are favourite breakfast drinks. Other classic dishes are gipa, nan w mast (bread and yogurt, the classic breakfast food), nisik, shila w brinj (rice and a variety of vegetable stews), shish kebab and many more. On the streets you must try falafel and salad in bread, or ManakishZa’taar– a flat bread with a herb called Za’taar. TimmanJazar offers delicious vegetarian fare.
