We loved the beet dip and the muhammara. The pita is so soft! The fried cauliflower is a must. I could've eaten it all myself. The Lebanese platter was SCRUMPTIOUS. The rice and lentils and the lemony tahini sauce were a hit!! We got the Kafta and found it to be deliciously spiced and a great pairing. The shakshuka was a tad sweet for our liking and we found the ratio of tomato sauce to eggs was a little much. We will definitely be returning!! What a treat this place is

We started with the fried cauliflower and zaatar fries, both served with an incredible dipping sauce that disappeared embarrassingly fast. The cauliflower was perfectly seasoned, crispy on the outside, tender inside, and honestly good enough to order again on its own. For my meal, I ordered the shakshuka. It arrived bubbling hot in a cast iron skillet with rich tomato sauce, flavorful meatballs, perfectly baked eggs, and warm grilled pita for scooping up every last bite. I've had shakshuka before, and this was easily one of the best versions I've tasted. Every bite was comforting, hearty, and packed with flavor. Spud went with a Laziz salad alongside another helping of the roasted cauliflower, which he thoroughly enjoyed. Everything that came to the table looked thoughtfully prepared, fresh, and beautifully presented. What made the experience truly memorable, though, was our waitress, Omri. As a Deaf customer, it's always a pleasant surprise when someone can communicate directly in sign language. Omri signed with us, made us feel genuinely welcome, and provided exceptional service from beginning to end. That personal connection meant a great deal to me, and it absolutely elevated an already wonderful meal. I was so impressed that I happily double-tipped her. Great food, warm hospitality, and an experience my son and I will both remember. We'll definitely be back.

The server was very helpful with telling me what I could and couldn't eat. I ordered the Vegan Remix Bowl & some sweet potato fries (cooked in canola oil & cross contaminated with other fried dishes so keep that in mind for GF options). I enjoyed the flavor profiles & their unique sauces. The falafel had a bit of a sweet taste which was a first for me but not bad at all. The reason for the 3 stars is that when a different staff person, Hispanic, dropped off my food, I noticed the cabbage slaw had carrots in it, which I wasn't aware of. When I informed them, they were very rude and stormed off before I could even request for the cabbage slaw to be completely removed. When I finally got a hold of them, they had an attitude and claimed the slaw could not be removed, which was not true. They repeatedly kept telling me it couldn't be removed and was not comprehending what I was saying. Outside of that, I would recommend this place.

I knew they were famous for their mole dishes, so there was no question that I was going to try one. It absolutely lived up to the reputation.

After six days of rafting, camping, and eating along the river, sitting down to a great meal at Red Iguana felt like the perfect return to civilization. Great food, great atmosphere, and a fitting Utah send-off before flying back home to Pennsylvania. If you're visiting Salt Lake City, especially if you've never really explored mole before, Red Iguana is absolutely worth the stop. I know it'll be on my list the next time I'm in town.
