Baghdad - Post Report Question and Answers
What typical restaurants, food delivery services, and/or takeout options are popular among expatriates?
Pizza on site. DEFAC has plenty of variety. The environment gets dull, but every effort is made to prepare good food. Local staff can help with delivery options (burgers, local food). - Apr 2019
The DFAC. It's not as bad as people say. Gets repetitive. - Jul 2018
There was one pizza restaurant when I left, and a small coffee shop. Both were unremarkable and subject to closure on short notice. - Jan 2016
There are a few places on compound to get food but not a great selection. You can eat healthy at the DFAC, but you have to work at it. Having ice cream every night won't help! - Feb 2014
DFAC, whatever meal you can cobble together from what you've brought in your suitcase, ordered online, or grown in the garden (the only saving grace of this place - a large volunteer community garden). - Jan 2014
DFAC and the Grab 'n Go are still serving you delicious, free, government institution meals. There's also Tarboosh (local fast food, decent), PJ's Pizza (dubious Middle Eastern pizza), and Green Bean Coffee (military Starbucks) for a little variety. I'm not sure how much longer it'll be open, but right now you can still walk over to Union 3, where they have North End Pizza, which is legitimately good thin crust. - Jan 2013
This is in limbo. At the embassy there is a Coffee Bean that looks to be staying. Pizza Hut and Subway may be leaving. There is another pizza place, North End pizza, that is good and might be staying. Did I say that things are changing around here? - Nov 2011
There's a Subway, Pizza Hut and Green Bean Coffee shop at the REC center. There is also a Popeye's and another pizza place across the street at FOB Union III. There are Grab-n-Goes at many of the buildings that have sandwiches and soda, chips and snacks that are all free. - Sep 2010
A few sketchy restaurants in the International Zone. - Aug 2008
