Yaba Restaurant

July 3, 2022
2 / 5

The Verdict

Yaba by Chef Shaheen. A modern Iraqi restaurant serving Baghdad infused recipes in a modern style. In spite of the beautiful presentation the outcome is not appealing. Almost all the dishes (and there are very few on the minimalistic menu) had the same taste or bland. My rating is #average.
