About this spot
Wadi Sabi delivers the authentic, smoky depth of Iraqi cuisine that defines Exarchia's vibrant food scene, serving slow-cooked lamb and crispy falafel with a bold cardamom kick. Expect generous portions where you must order a side of plain rice or flatbread to scoop up the rich stews before they disappear.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order extra pickled turnips to cut through the richness of the lamb stew.
- Ask for your water in a small glass to avoid wasting it on large bottles.
