After several days exploring the beautiful country of Iraq, I finally made it to the legendary city of Karbala! We’d be trying a mix of foods here, as well as visiting the city’s two shrines.
Karbala is located roughly two hours south of Baghdad by car. It’s famous for the Battle of Karbala, which took place 1400 years ago. It is because of that battle that locals make a pilgrimage from Baghdad to Karbala every year.

Our first stop was a local restaurant that specializes in home-cooked-style meals. We were there for a local stew called tashreeb, but we also saw them making another stew with onions, eggplant, tomato paste, rice, and pumpkin called madfoon. They also had white rice and chicken biryani, lamb ribs, a white bean dish called fasolia, roasted chicken, and a veg and bean stew called sabzi.
They served us some rice with noodles and crispy almonds on top. The cook fed me some of the madfoon, which was amazing and opened up my appetite! Then, they tore some khubz tannour up, put it on the platter, and spooned the tashreeb and lamb ribs over it. Everything looked so good!
At our table, I tried some fresh mint leaves and then we dove into the tashreeb with our hands. I loved the bread soaked in tomato juice and the buttery, tender lamb. The onions, potatoes, and chickpeas were also very nice! The rib meat came right off the bone and was super flavorful.
The sabzi was also full of flavor from the saffron rice and ghee, and the greens and kidney beans were also fantastic. I also really enjoyed the stuffed onions, eggplant, and pumpkin. They were stuffed with rice and tomato paste. The chicken biryani contained noodles, raisins, and nice spices.
The tepsi baytinijan, or eggplant stew, also blew me away. It also contained potatoes and other vegetables. Finally, we finished with a thick, milk-based dessert that also contains butter, flour, sugar, and pistachios called halawa halib. It was sweet and decadent, and I loved the crushed pistachios!
Next, we drove to a date vendor on the street who was selling thousands of dates. They’d been sitting in the sun, so it melted in my mouth! We also had some delicious and boiling hot Iraqi chai with cardamom and sugar. We had to pour it onto saucers to cool it off!
We drove a bit more to the pilgrimage route and saw vendors making khubz tannour, kebabs, and dates in tahini sauce called w’rashi. They were sweet and nutty! We saw guys taking huge blocks of ice to all the other vendors.
Next was some refreshing apricot juice, followed by tomato kaymak with short-grain rice. It was a tasty, thick stew with flavorful rice. Karbala and Najaf have a rivalry over whose kaymak is the best. These vendors brought theirs from Najaf, and it was amazing! After trying it, I helped pass it out to the pilgrims.
On the way to the shrine, we saw a guy making a 3-meter-tall shawarma! Finally, we made it to the first of the two shrines, the Shine of Imam Hossain, the grandson of the prophet Mohammed. He was a martyr. It’s quite emotional and beautiful inside. People inside were crying and rushing to touch the tomb.
We followed that with some sugar bread, which smelled like cardamom and tasted like pure sugar, some fresh pomegranate juice, and some skanjabeel, which is a local non-alcoholic drink made from vinegar, honey, sugar, and mint! It’s so refreshing and unique!

I left my heart in Karbala ... Wish u had visited the other shrine.. Shrine of Hazrat abbas.
Also wish u had spoken more about the reason food on the streets of karbala being free during arbaeen.
Nevertheless... Karbala during arbaeen especially as piligrim is life changing.
Just loving this iraq series. Iraqi hospitality is exceptional wish I could go there soon
Come welcome dear 😍🇮🇶
@@1m.11 r u from Iraq?
@@fabehahasan8648 yeah
@@1m.11 can you tell what is the best time to visit iraq?
@@fabehahasan8648 The best time to visit Iraq is in the month of Muharram, because many tourists come for Hajj, about 10 million tourists from different countries, and the ceremonies last for up to two months, as shown in the video of free food distribution and crowding in the shrine of Imam Hussein
The country of no hunger , mashallah 🥰 alhamdullah
WE LOVE YOUR AMAZING TRAVELS!!! JAFAR IS SO WONDERFUL!! WE LOVE YOU ALL!!!

Karbala indeed is the land symbolizing , love , dedication , sacrifice, devotion and hospitality.

Thank you David for painting a realistic picture about Iraq and Karbala. I can not wait to go there.
Looks like so much fun and now I'm hungry!
Just the dates and pomegranates alone are enough reason to visit Iraq. David's been assimilated!.. into the Iraqi culture, habibi
You are welcome in my country all the time 😍🇮🇶
@Mary ₃₁₃ Shukran
@@Dano.book-em24 you're welcome
om...that first meal was epic! and that date street vendor? I'd have no control!😋😋That tahini/date snack is my heaven! I'd travel to this place just for that! Love this one David❤❤
What a lovely way to start off my day. Delicious food from start to the end. That charcoal grill chicken looks so good. The dates are the biggest I've ever seen. Awesome David. Hello Tasos 💕
One of the best places after mecca and medina
Love you ❤ David from Pakistan🇵🇰. Loving your Iraq tour. I am very happy that you went there. All the shiya community and other ahle sunnat community go there specially from Pakistan🇵🇰.
Only Shiites go because this is our religion only، Sunnis say you shouldn't go with Shiiَtes and Shiَa places، The Sunَnis also bloََw up the people who go to this place، And you won't find a single Suَnni who goes with us as Shiites.They don't like us until they go with us and they don't like our rituals
@@alrasalii5865 True Sunnis are Nasibis who hate Ahlulbait and do Terrorism in wherever they go. Iraq will get rid of Sunnis very soon. Insallah
Iraqi people n their food, both are just fantastic! I hope there are enough vegetarian options
Incredible land n lovely tour❤
tashreebs missing dried lime! squeezing the cooked dried lime over everything makes it 10d better

the eggplant with tomato we called TABSI BETINGAN..it is very famous in Iraq..not as what jaafer explains
id love to know what spices do they use in their preparations. the eggplant stew with potatoes and tomatoes looked very delicious with that thick gravy.
المترجم حبي شوية انطي مجال لديفيد حتى ياكل 🤣🤣🤣
You know it my friend! Great to see you here Khafaji!
Unfortunately, I did not see you when I went to Karbala. I hope you come again.. Welcome to my country. I love you and your modesty and modesty. 🥹🥺❤🇮🇶
Thank you truly. May you have 1000 blessings and a wonderful week too! I truly appreciate your support.
@@Davidsbeenhere this is my duty❤
Good morning/afternoon David and Tasos. First of all, let me quote you, "something unreal". So true. I mean, the food and drinks, I would say somewhat healthy except for the sugary sweets. Those stuffed onions looked like boiled eggs, the dish with the greens and red beans looked like spinach bhaji (protein and iron rich). I much prefer the Iraqi food. You should try dates and peanut butter. And what a hectic place it turned out to be as you approached the shrine: so beautiful and huge, but why so much red?. What did the red represent? It's true that it does get emotional when you visit places like that especially when you know what the history is. As usual, you did not disappoint. Everyone around you is so nice and I see Jafar coming out of his shell. Such a nice young man. All in all, what a big difference to years ago when there was so much upheaval. So to the people of Iraq: PEACE.🕊️. David and Tasos:❤️🙏🕊️😇🇹🇹🇨🇦
Dear, the red color represents sadness and pain because the imam was killed in a very brutal way. Therefore, it does not represent a specific sect. The imam represents humanity, but when the ceremonies are completed, they change the color from red to green. If you want, I will tell you the story of this place in detail?❤
@@1m.11Mary 313: Thank you very much for the explanation. That's very interesting and sad at the same time. Would love to know more. I hope David shows the changing of the colors. It's a beautiful shrine. 🙏🕊️🇹🇹🇨🇦
@@JudyT868 No need to thank, this is my duty.. Where do you live?

Poor Greek guy got probably suger shock from visited Iraq
What is the name of the restaurant? Please add the names to the videos so we can go visit as well
David, or anyone would you please explain again why you are not to toast with clinking glasses in Iraq? Thank you.
Barakat'allahhhhhh...

@@samzo1346 Try it why not 🥺❤

Wow
It's some hard work to write down the whole content about the videos in the info. section.
it is, our amazing head of copyright has a huge role in creating the info section and a lot more! He's a huge asset to the team. Thank you so much for noticing that ShaiPah!
That’s what she said! Lol
I'm sorry but the guy you're with, Jaffar, has absolutely ZERO table manners!! You should NEVER take the first bite when youre inviting someone to try our food. ITS GROSS. It makes it really hard to finish your videos.

يعني ماخذي على اماكن وكان العراق من العصر الحجري ياريت من يجي سايح اجنبي عل البلد اتشوفو الاماكن السياحية والتاريخيه وايضا الاماكن الحديثة .ولا داعي للاماكن المقدس تحشرون الدين بكل شيء.
مو همه محتاجين ايشوفون اماكنك السياحية لأن خطية ما عدهم... اصلا هم جايين حتى ايشوفون طيبة و كرم الناس و هاذي ما تنلكي احسن من الناس الطيبة اهل الكرم و الدين والحضارة جايين ايشوفون هذي الاشياء ما محتاجين يجون على اماكن الي عدهم احسن منهه بمية مرة .
هذه الأماكن هي الأكثر جذباً لهم....
الأماكن الدينية نفتخر بيها وهي افضل و اشرف من أماكن الدعارة الي تقصدها ، ذيج الأماكن الك و لشكلك
We hindu will make greater lndia and lraq will be part of it.
When you say Salaam don't do your hands like that, you say Salam alaykum with your voice, that's kaffi, Jafar say him don't join his hands and say Salaam it's not look good, it's my opinion, in India join the hands to idiols, that's not correct in Muslim culture, not sugar bread in India it's look like shermal,
Muslims also demon worshippers 😂
Salaam and joining hands got nothing to do with India.... its Davids respect to people
Perhaps hand on chest. It’s good to adjust to cultures of places your visiting, and that gesture is only associated with India in that region of the world so I can see someone feeling sort of offended
Iraq got a bad name because of Sunni Nasibis. Just to mention here that Sunnis were the one who attacked on 911 and Saddam and ISIS were Sunnis. Soon Iraq will get rid of Sunni Nasibi Religion of Abu Bakr and Umar and there will be peace and no terrorism in Iraq. Insallah
Keep dreaming rafidhis
This guys weird I only like mark the ring is creeping me out and he’s moans to much
Bro I think you do good food review videos the way you eat makes me wanna eat too but why is your channel dying ?
