Iraqi STREET FOOD MOUNTAIN in Baghdad, Iraq!! The BEST Baghdad Falafels!

BIL WEEKEND: https://www.instagram.com/bilweekend/ | https://bilweekend.com/ TASOS: https://www.instagram.com/agreeksolo VISIT MY TRAVEL BLOG: https://davidsbeenhere.com/ 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!

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!
