Khan Murjan Souk Khan Murjan Souk located at the Wafi Mall plays homage to the original souk that was once bustling with life in fourteenth century Baghdad, The restaurant is decorated with authentic artisanal craftsmanship brought in directly from Turkey, Egypt, Syria and Morocco. Our team went there for lunch and we started out with fresh tabbouleh salad, flavourful fattoush salad, creamy hummus, zesty baba-ghanoush, tangy Wara’ Enab (stuffed vine leaves) and sizzling Muhammara (hot pepper dip). We thoroughly enjoyed the starters and also liked the indoor- outdoor feel to the restaurant which had a water-wheel and musicians filling the restaurant with relaxing Arabic tunes. Freshly baked breads were accompanied with tender grilled meat on charcoal beds, along with a crunchy kebbeh, and crispy cheese sticks that were delicious. The verdict: Beautifully picturesque authenticity to detail when designing the restaurant and flavourful food. We would highly recommend the restaurant to anyone who would like to experience and taste Arabic food at its finest and best. Cost: AED 150 for 2 poeple Location: Wafi Mall
