Little Manila becoming Little Baghdad?

So unofficially, it’s called Little Manilla: around Baalbeck Street at the beginning of Hamra are a bunch of small markets and restaurants catering to the Filipino community.

But get this: over the last few weeks, two new restaurants have popped up in the area, both catering to the Iraqi community. They’re called Baghdadi Restaurant and Iraq al-Khair.

Is Little Manila turning into Little Baghdad?
