Nahrain Fish Chicken Grill - El Cajon

The best Masgoof in town. Call and leave your fish ready to eat if you don't want to wait. Red rice was at the top.

I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant! Despite the mediocre atmosphere, the service and food were both superb. The fish was incredibly fresh and delicious. I highly recommend it.

Very nice Iraqi fish. Unique place. Have to try it out. It is the tastiest fish you can get in the west of the Mississippi. And possibly east of it if you are looking for the Iraqi style fish. There is competition on fish in Jersey city, though but not Iraqi style.

Amazing coastal and marine variety fish, grilled on old school logs and fried depending on the fish and dish. Delicious and authentic sides as well. The prices are very fair.

Nahrain is a small (36 occupancy restaurant nestled at the corner of a strip mall, next to a Mediterranean bakery. A glass counter greets my eyes, boasting the whole fish that may soon be on my plate. The owner handed us some menus with a friendly smile as he waited on other customers. Minutes later, our table was filled with a huge, hot Naan and a delicious plate of hummus. I chose the Stripped Bass, nodding my approval as he plucked a 2.17 pound fish from the case. My date chose the 4-piece fried chicken. Long story short, everything was perfectly done: The food delicious, service well executed and an almost private family atmosphere. They do not serve alcohol, so a 7Up washed it all down soberly. Note: If you order fish by the pound, expect to buy a fish ; Well worth a stop for Iraqi food done well!
