| - A very cool Middle Eastern (Iraqi) place to eat if you've never tried Iraqi food before.
Honestly, I've been here a few too many times. It's decent food, but nothing to write home about. I prefer some spice and flavor with my food, and even though other people really love Dijlah, I find the food to be too bland, typically. If you put salt on the rice dishes, it works wonders, but there's not much flavor in most of the lamb, goat, and beef dishes. I'm also biased towards Indian food, which usually is packed with spices (not necessarily spicy, though...just ginger, garlic, turmeric, mustard seeds, etc...). To be honest, it's not that different from a lot of American restaurants in that it's easy food for your stomach, albeit a little bit oily.
It's halal, which helps! There's a hookah bar in the back and I've seen it reserved for parties and concerts. Overall, not a bad place, but I wouldn't go here unless my friends take me here.
Still not quite a 2, because service is fairly good, but nothing out of the ordinary.
