About Sinbad Restaurant

Sinbad Restaurant is a family-run Iraqi restaurant in London, Ontario, offering authentic Iraqi cuisine across two locations in the Proudfoot area. Serving the local community with a focus on hospitality and generous portions, the restaurant provides halal meat and traditional dishes designed for sharing. The menu features charcoal-grilled specialties such as Iraqi kabab, chicken tikka, lamb chops, and the iconic masgouf, which is a butterflied fish that is slow-grilled and served as a centerpiece. Other traditional offerings include quzi, dolma, tashreeb, delimia, and kubba al-Mosul, alongside a variety of mezze like hummus, baba ghannouj, fattoush, and falafel. The restaurant is built on family recipes passed down through generations, emphasizing a cooking style that prioritizes depth of flavor and smoke from a real charcoal grill rather than gas lines. They describe their approach as one where food is a way to show up for people, creating a welcoming environment for both Iraqi regulars and newcomers. The establishment offers dine-in, takeout, and catering services for events such as weddings, office lunches, and family dinners. Customers can book reservations by phone, with a recommendation to call at least a day in advance for groups of eight or more.
