Built for Iraq

Everything an Iraqi diner actually wants.

01 / 06

WhatsApp-first OTP

Sign in with a one-tap WhatsApp code. SMS fallback if the diner is offline. No passwords, ever.

02 / 06

Prayer-time aware

No reminders during adhan. Reminders shift around iftar in Ramadan. Designed for the Iraqi calendar, not borrowed from somewhere else.

03 / 06

Ramadan mode

An iftar-aware booking flow during Ramadan. The earliest slot you can pick aligns with Maghrib in your city.

04 / 06

IQD payments

Hold a table with a refundable deposit via FastPay, Zain Cash, or card. No prepay — just enough to keep the seat.

05 / 06

Iraqi filters

Shisha, terrace, family salon, women-welcome, private salon — the filters Iraqis actually use, not what umai uses in Lisbon.

Split the bill on WhatsApp

After the meal, kursi nudges your friends to split — right inside the WhatsApp chat you already used to book.

We went from three WhatsApp admins juggling Friday dinner to one host with a tablet. kursi paid for itself in a week.
