My time in southern Iraq continued with a Late Night Street Food Tour in the Iraqi city of Nasiriyah!
Nasiriyah is very lively at night, especially because its so hot during the day. My first stop was a café along the road to get some Iraqi chai!

A lot of local gentlemen were hanging out in chairs on the side of the street. They were all relaxing and taking in the night. The Iraqi chai was too hot, so I poured it into a saucer to cool it off. It cools it off by at least 10 degrees!
Then, we walked down the street, past lots of other shops, to go get some food! We’d be getting some kebda, or liver and kidney kebabs! A gentleman at the shop fed me some of his. It was so tasty and smoky, with a nice iron flavor.
Next, we got some kubba saray, which is a dense dough ball similar to a matzo ball, which is stuffed with lamb. It comes with beef, tomatoes, and broth poured on top. It’s a very tasty comfort food. I love the prominence of lamb in Iraqi cuisine!
The vendor there wouldn’t accept my money. He was too kind! We arrived at the shawarma spot and headed inside. Then, I tried some chili peppers and then headed into the kitchen, where they were making burgers, samosas, and huge falafel sandwiches. I wanted a sandwich and some shawarma!
They had lots of pickles, tomatoes, cucumbers, and fries as well. I tried some falafel and some fries. The fries were still scorching hot! The vendors there couldn’t stop feeding me! They were so friendly!
Then, they started building my falafel sandwich. I added some chilies, some amba, and a cucumber-yogurt sauce called jajik. It ws very flavorful and contained nice eggplant as well. I loved adding more chilies!
Next, Jafar let me try some of his chicken shawarma. I really liked it with the amba. It was really tasty, but I was already starting to get full. The roasted eggplant in it was the absolute best! Then, I washed it down with a fruit shushie.
Then, just as we were about to leave, they asked me to try some fries, which they topped with macaroni in tomato sauce! It was unique and very tasty. Buried beneath the macaroni was an Iraqi burek, which contains lamb! It was to die for!
Then, we headed to get some sweets! We tried some nuts from a vendor and raced to the sweets shop, as all the shops would be closing within the next 20 minutes. We entered the oldest sweets shop in the sweet, where we saw lots of types of baklava, Turkish delights, biscuits, and jalebi!
The shop owner was too kind. He gave us heaping portions of multiple items to try. It was too much! Our first sweet was Nutella knafeh, which was thick with a crispy layer of noodles and doused in sugar syrup. It was the best sweet ever!
Next was a cream-filled baklava, which was a major sugar rush. We had another baklava, as well as another type of knafeh that was like pure sugar. The crispy layers in the baklava blew my mind, but the Nutella knafeh was on another level! I was ready to pop!
Finally, we headed to our final stop, which was just about to close. It was a street vendor selling khirret, a very rare and special sweet from the marshlands of southern Iraq. It’s very expensive at $50 USD for a kilo!
It’s powdery and chalky but not flavorless. It wasn’t my favorite, but I could tell it would be good with some chai! And that’s it for our nighttime street food tour of Nasiriyah, Iraq!

Welcome to my city NASIRIYA 🌹
The Khirret 26:30 is an Iraqi sweet that dates back 4,000 years. It was called “Khirret” in relation to the method of making it, which relies on scraping - extracting - the yellow substance that resembles flour. It is a food and medicinal substance extracted from the papyrus plant that grows in the marsh waters. This rare substance is used to treat many diseases, the most prominent of which is colon.

Well David: Another good one. Entertaining and enjoyable. I was truly surprised to see the kind of fast food especially the one with the macaroni. I especially loved the felafel sandwich and that bread, so good. Question: what is their felafel made from? I have seen felafel here but it always looks like it was overcooked and dark brown in color and dry. Tasos, start eating the sandwich from one corner to the next, never in the middle. Anyway I noticed that there were only the men outdoors. Don't the women come out too? 🤔. So, another good one and waiting for the next. P.S: Iraqi people, very nice. 😇🕊️💕🇹🇹🇨🇦

Yo David, apparently drinking cold drinks causes you to sweat more in hot places, hence the hot tea. Saw on a documentary about Uzbekistan. Don't how how true it is though
Thabk you for comming and welcome everytime!
David u r king of chilies 🌶️ and spicy food👏🏻👏🏻

Welcome to Iraq. I ask you to do the subtitle feature on KZread, because it is only available in English only and not in all languages. I am not a specialist in technology, but there is a feature when you upload the video to KZread. You do something called subtitles for the video in several languages that KZread provides. Try to ask how they do the translation. Accompanying video I hope you have fun 🤘🤘👍👍

Hello David, I would like to thank you for showcasing Iraq. As a Canadian with Iraqi parents, I'm eagerly looking forward to my upcoming trip there in a few months. My parents enjoyed your videos except they didn't like Jafar. He was worried about the food, more than anything else. P.S. Next time you visit Iraq, don't bring Jafar!

6:40 the other Iraqi guy were desperate to eat, come on buddy let David eat so he can review you can eat earlier.
good vid but sometimes smacking annoying
The little iraqi guy looks like he is also tasting the food for the first time, he seems not to have eaten since last christmas.
Jafaar acts like he never had Iraqi food before 😆
Unfortunately you missed a lot in Nasiriya, there are many great restaurants and places to visit, but what can I say, you have dealt with unknowlagbe tour guides… hope you will surprise us on next videos 🙏
