Islamic State's Amaq news agency said in an online statement that two suicide bombers, one wearing a vest and the other in a car, had targeted "a gathering of Shi'ites" on Palestine Street.
Video footage uploaded onto Facebook appeared to show four separate fires, including two cars in flames, under a highway overpass near the mall.
Three Iraqi police are reportedly among the dead.
