Iraqi charcoal grills, masgouf fish, and Middle Eastern mezze

# Sumaq Iraqi Charcoal Grill Revered as the best sumac/shawarma in the city by some, and it genuinely is really good. I don't think it's quite worth the level of hype it sometimes gets, but the food is solid, the value is excellent, and the Iraqi charcoal grill element is something genuinely special. ## What to Order The masgouf (charcoal-grilled fish) is the signature dish — don't miss it. The grilled meats are also excellent. ## Must Try Masgouf — Iraqi charcoal-grilled fish. It's the dish that defines this restaurant and you won't find it done better in Toronto. ## The Verdict Really good. Not going to oversell the hype, but Sumaq is a legit destination for Iraqi cuisine in Toronto. The charcoal grill element is authentic, the value is strong, and the masgouf alone makes it worth visiting. Definitely try it.
