The food is absolutely incredible — fresh, flavorful, and cooked with obvious care and authenticity. Every dish is seasoned perfectly, portions are generous, and you can truly taste the quality in every bite. Whether you’re familiar with Middle Eastern cuisine or trying it for the first time, this place does not disappoint.
The staff is friendly, attentive, and always willing to explain menu items or make recommendations. Service is fast without feeling rushed, and everything is consistently clean and well-organized.
If you’re in Springfield and looking for amazing food, great service, and an authentic experience, ASA – Al Furat is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending it to everyone I know.
I’ve had the Karak Tea (milk tea with cardamom) which was very good. When it comes to their baked goods I’ve had their baklava, milk baklava, Znoud El Sit, orange cake, and the date balls! Everything was amazing, but (in my opinion) the milk baklava is 100% the star of the show! I will be a frequent flyer to be sure!!
Asa Al-Furat has earned its reputation for warmth. The staff were authentic, kind, and welcoming in a way that cannot be manufactured. One senses immediately that hospitality here is cultural rather than commercial, and that counts for a great deal.
Most of the praise one encounters, however, centers on the desserts and pastries—items we did not partake in, and therefore cannot fairly judge. Our visit was for the drinks, and it is here that the experience faltered.
We ordered the Iraqi Jeqlitiya Coffee and the Karak Tea. The spices were unmistakably of the Arab world—fragrant, confident, and beautifully layered. Unfortunately, the coffee beneath them was not worthy of their company. The drink tasted thin and diluted, with the unmistakable character of something derived from powder or a machine rather than freshly prepared espresso or even proper drip. This impression was strengthened by the absence of any visible espresso or coffee equipment in the shop; the drinks were prepared in the back, entirely out of sight.
The result was a disappointment not because the flavors were wrong, but because they were held up by weak foundations. The spices carried the drink as far as they could, but no amount of cardamom can redeem bad coffee.
Asa Al-Furat succeeds admirably in atmosphere and hospitality. If the same care were applied to the coffee itself, it would deserve every star it currently enjoys. As it stands, the kindness remains memorable; the coffee does not.
I had such a great time at Asa Al-Furat in Springfield, MO. The food and drinks were seriously amazing. I tried the toast sandwich, the milk baklava plate, and the chocolate baklava—everything was fresh and absolutely delicious.
For drinks, I got the Layali Al Iraq hot drink and the Red Jelly Fish slush, and wow… that Red Jelly slush was honestly one of the best drinks I’ve ever had.
The staff was super helpful, friendly, and conversational, and the atmosphere was sweet, casual, and relaxing. I ended up staying there for about 3 hours doing work, and time flew by. It was the perfect spot to sit, focus, and enjoy good vibes.
This is definitely my new favorite café and might honestly become my new “office” spot Highly recommend!
