Tarbush Kitchen, Restaurant & Market

Our first visit and definitely not our last.
Food was fresh and delicious and the service felt like I was at my mom’s house.
My daughter surprised us all and ordered lentil soup, husband and I had different shwarmas and a hummus appetizer, we all shared.
We couldn’t get enough, and cleaned our plates! The attached store is small but they carry all unique (to me) items.
It is beautifully organized and definitely fun to look at and explore.

The food was fantastic! Good vegan options (dalma included) and the service was very nice! We really enjoyed the intimate booths.
Everything was so fresh! We waited a little for our entrees to come out, but our appetizers came out quickly and were a treat of their own! Probably the best baklava I've ever had as well. It was my first time trying muhammara, and I wish I had known of it sooner...
It is addictive!

What a wonderful discovery! While in the military I spent two years in Afghanistan, but never spent time in Iraq.
While driving by at lunch time I spotted this place and decided it was time to compare flavors.
The two members of the staff were arm and friendly, and were happy to serve me, providing excellent recommendations on what to eat.
And the food? The food was fantastic.
The flavors exploded on my tongue with rich spices and delightful sauces.
The kebabs and falafel were filling and flavorful, the rice had a perfect texture and taste, even the side salad was shockingly delightful. The restaurant was very clean, with warm and welcoming furnishings.
Though the styles were a bit different from Afghanistan these Iraqi imports really helped clench what was, in many ways, a cultural experience of the Middle East well worth enjoying. All in all this was truly a delight, and I will be sure to be back!
