Al Rafadian
Also transliterated "Al Rafidain" (الرافدين, "Mesopotamia") — a Middle Eastern market and restaurant counter on Broadway in El Cajon. Its menu is explicitly Iraqi (beef shawarma, Iraqi samoon bread, dolma), and an independent Arab American News (Rakwa) article describes it as serving El Cajon's Iraqi-American/Arab community and offering halal meats — but that halal claim comes from press coverage, not a first-party statement from the business itself, so no halalStatus is recorded here. No self-identified Arab-ownership claim from the business itself was found.
