Nahrain Fish Chicken Grill - El Cajon

The best Masgoof in town. Call and leave your fish ready to eat if you don't want to wait. Red rice was at the top.

I was craving fish and the only open place I could find was this establishment. I chose the smallest fish they had and had it cooked in their special way. However, I was shocked by the price - $30.00 for a meal that was big enough to feed two. The restaurant gave off a fast food vibe and did not seem like a high-quality meal. I believe it is located in El Cajon. The price seemed too high for what was offered, especially considering how much fish typically costs in markets. This is something the public should be aware of. Is it excessive?

This restaurant offers a selection of simply grilled, fresh fish. Customers can choose a whole fish from the display case, pay by the pound, and have it cleaned and grilled within about 20 minutes. The flavors are delicious and the process is efficient.

Legit authentic food! I haven't had something like this in awhile, their food was delicious. We arrived and started with a free hummus and naan app since I am YELPSD Elite and checked in. I tried their chicken kabob plate and cannot wait to try something else. It is located on the main street of downtown el cajon.

Nahrain is a small (36 occupancy restaurant nestled at the corner of a strip mall, next to a Mediterranean bakery. A glass counter greets my eyes, boasting the whole fish that may soon be on my plate. The owner handed us some menus with a friendly smile as he waited on other customers. Minutes later, our table was filled with a huge, hot Naan and a delicious plate of hummus. I chose the Stripped Bass, nodding my approval as he plucked a 2.17 pound fish from the case. My date chose the 4-piece fried chicken. Long story short, everything was perfectly done: The food delicious, service well executed and an almost private family atmosphere. They do not serve alcohol, so a 7Up washed it all down soberly. Note: If you order fish by the pound, expect to buy a fish ; Well worth a stop for Iraqi food done well!
