Masgouf

Masgouf at 134 Cromwell Road, South Kensington serves Iraqi cuisine from the Cromwell Road in SW7. Masgouf — named for Iraq's national dish, the slow-grilled freshwater carp (typically from the Tigris River) that has been a beloved Iraqi tradition for thousands of years, split and grilled open over a smouldering fire of tamarisk wood — brings one of the ancient world's great culinary traditions to the heart of South Kensington. Cromwell Road SW7 4HA runs through South Kensington close to Gloucester Road underground station.

Iraqi restaurants are exceptionally rare in London, making Masgouf a genuinely unique dining option for the South Kensington community and food explorers from across the capital.
