Zakie was founded with a single belief: that great dining experiences shouldn't be complicated. We're on a mission to connect people with the restaurants they love.
Zakie was created in Baghdad, Iraq, with a simple goal: make restaurant discovery and reservations easier for everyone.
We noticed that dining experiences still rely heavily on phone calls, manual reservations, and outdated communication methods. Zakie aims to modernize this experience through a simple and smart digital platform built specifically for the Iraqi market.
Our mission is to help people discover great restaurants while giving restaurant owners better tools to manage reservations and customer experiences.
Our founders' belief that drove us to build Zakie, and the north star that guides everything we do.
Every feature we build must be intuitive. If a user needs instructions, we've already failed. Great products just work.
We serve two communities equally: the diners who use Zakie and the restaurant owners who depend on us to grow their businesses.
Your data, your reservations, your payments — all protected with bank-grade security. We earn trust daily, not just at sign-up.
We're not afraid to challenge how things have always been done. We experiment, learn fast, and ship improvements every week.
