With evening approaching on another day in Baghdad, my friends and I decided to head out on a nighttime street food tour of the city!
My friends Jafar and Ali from Bil Weekend, and my travel buddy Tasos, and I started off at the Storytelling Monument, which is from Arabian Nights. It’s a collection of stories from the golden age of Islam, including the story of Aladdin!

We drove to Karada Street, where there was a flurry of activity going on. There are shops, restaurants, butchers, and more there, along with lots of traffic. We walked to King of Dates, a shop that sells sweets, honey, date syrup, and souvenirs relating to dates!
The owner was so kind and let us try some for free. I tried a madgooga, which is a date ball, that was coated in sesame seeds. It was sweet and nutty and tasted almost like chocolate.
Then, I tried another madgooga with pistachios, and another delicious one coated in coconut. They were so sweet and delicious! The shop owner there was so kind and generous. He put together an entire bag of things to gift us. I wanted to pay for something, but he wouldn’t let me at first. But then he finally let me buy a jar of honey!
As we continued down Karada Street, we found a coffee shop. It smelled amazing inside! They had tons of different varieties. But it was late, so I wouldn’t be having any.
We continued on to Zaytoun Sweets, where they make a popular diamond-shaped Iraqi bread called samoon. They sell it fresh, and it’s so popular, they had a queue out the door! They cook it is stone furnaces. I got to see the whole process of them making it!
There was also a kiosk outside selling five different types of coffee. Further on was a stand selling fresh potato chips with different flavors including chicken, barbecue, cheese, lemon, pepper, and more! You choose a bag and then they add the flavors you want.
We got a small bag and got the vinegar & salt and barbecue flavors. The vendor added the flavors and shook up the bag. They were really fresh and tasty. The vinegar gave it a bit of a tingle!
Finally, we stopped a t a shop selling falafel! They say it’s the best falafel in Baghdad! You get them in a sandwich made from samoon bread, and you can add amba to it. The falafels were crispy and made of chickpeas.
It had a nice creaminess, and the lettuce and tomatoes gave it a really good fresh feeling. I also loved that the amba gave it a sourness and sweetness! What a way to end our night!
