About Newroz Restaurant

Step past Nelson Street and the smoky scent of the charcoal grill hits first. This Fairfield staple serves hearty Iraqi home cooking on generous platters, pairing grilled fish tikka and tender lamb neck with pillowy, house-baked flatbread. Diners frequently find a warm bowl of spiced lentil soup set down on the house before skewers of seasoned minced meat and chicken land at the table. Meals finish unhurried over glasses of hot spiced chai.

  • Complimentary Hospitality: Tables routinely receive complimentary starters like spiced lentil soup and glasses of hot Iraqi chai alongside generous sharing platters.
  • Charcoal Grills & Scratch Bread: Skewers of fish tikka, chicken, and lamb cook over open coals, served alongside scratch-made pillowy flatbread and slow-braised lamb neck.
