The menu is packed with a variety of tasty choices. Kick things off with flavorful appetizers, such as creamy hummus, smoky baba ghannouj, and fresh tabbouleh or fattoush salads. Want something more filling? The crispy falafel and kobbah Halab (basically deep-fried bulgur stuffed with seasoned meat) are solid picks.
Sinbad’s signature dish is the Iraqi kabab—juicy, grilled meat skewers that are super flavorful. You can grab them solo or order a Family Grill Platter loaded with kabab, beef tikka, and chicken tikka for sharing. If you’re into grilled meats, they’ve also got lamb chops, chicken BBQ, and even Fish Masgouf, a traditional Iraqi grilled fish that’s packed with flavor.
Other favorites include slow-cooked lamb over rice (Meat Quzi), stuffed grape leaves (Dolma), and Pacha—a special stew made with lamb parts, served only on Sundays for those feeling adventurous.
If you’re in a rush, the sandwiches are great for grab-and-go. You can choose from kabab, chicken tikka, or falafel, all wrapped in soft bread and super satisfying. Add fries and a drink to complete the meal. Sides such as okra or white bean stew and basmati rice are also available.
For drinks, there’s everything from soda and juice to yogurt drinks and Barbican, a malt beverage with no alcohol. They don’t have a dessert menu, but many customers get treated to a free cup of hot black tea at the end of their meal.
People love Sinbad for its fantastic food, friendly staff, and generous portions. The kebabs and garlic sauce get a lot of shoutouts, and the family platter is a favorite for trying a bit of everything.
