Al Rafidain

Grilled the way Baghdad taught us

Al Rafidain — named for the land between the two rivers — brings traditional Iraqi and Mediterranean grill cooking to El Cajon. Every skewer is threaded by hand and cooked to order over an open flame, the way it's been done for generations.

From whole roasted chicken to beef and chicken shawarma carved fresh, our kitchen is built around one idea: real fire, real ingredients, no shortcuts.
