about Iraqi chicken

The first (known) recipe ever written down is more than 4,000 years old and comes from Mesopotamia. Modern-day Iraq was a large part of this region, known for its cultural diversity. This rich history makes Iraqi cuisine one of the most versatile in the world.

For our Iraqi chicken, we use a blend of many spices, a rich and flavorful way to prepare chicken. We serve it with Shata, a sauce made of lemon, basil and green pepper. The flavor of the chicken combines perfectly with this sweet (basil), sour and spicy sauce.
