Oriental Restaurant has a design and layout of the average Indian restaurant that has directed all focus on the quality of the food and not the aura. However the wooden work and the ornately framed mirrors do give the impression that, however futile, they have made an attempt to strike a chord somewhere that typifies Indian. Regardless, the décor is simple and neat. With lots of seating friendly staff, decent prices and great food, when I crave Indian (food), I think Oriental!! The restaurant has a plethora of Indian and Indian-Chinese dishes on their menu. They have everything from...

When it comes to small busy restaurants that has been in the tradition of catering to our voracious appetites, I’m always a believer! Even though some may have been disappointing at times. My friend who mesmerized me about this place is now 47, he remembers dining here at the age of 7 🙂 In his words, ‘we are going to dine at a place that’s part of Kuwait’s gastronomic history’. This is certainly not a place you come for a gourmet fare, but the flavors here are authentic and gladly they have not toned down the spice to cater...

  I think Caesars is to the average Indian what IHop is to the American. The Caesars group has been in Kuwait since 1973 feeding our voracious appetites to our hearts content. Their confectionery has been ubiquitous at any family gathering and among most Indians, their 3 inch fluffy dough pizza is as popular as the snicker bar. I believe they presently have about 12 plus restaurants serving continental, South Indian, Persian and even Japanese cuisine. You can find out more on the other restaurants HERE! Dakshin, in Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh serves authentic South Indian cuisine…., to be more specific, Kerala...

 Everyone knows P.F Chang’s for their fine dine experience and great food, but not everyone knows that if you just want that (almost similar) food while on a rumbling tummy all you need to do is look for Pei Wei and you’ll still have that great food minus the hole in you wallet. In fact, you will be offered with more options, can you beat that !?! While P.F Chang’s serve mostly Chinese (at least in Kuwait), Pei Wei offers a wider variety of Asian cuisine. It has changed its menu over the years to include a variety of healthy...

Everyone likes an Asian fusion restaurant because most everyone has had some exposure to Far Eastern cuisine. You can always find your favorite dish whether it be Thai, Chinese or Japanese…so when we wanted to take out a guest from the US for dinner, WOK HAY met with everyone’s (mainly my wife’s) approval as it promised a variety of Asian cuisine and more.  My first impression was great…location by the sea side (next to the Green Island entrance), plenty of parking (so essential these days) and a contemporary yet simple setting with large glass doors into the promenade. Nothing...

It’s been a while since we’ve been to the Caesars Indian restaurant in the city. Though the location was the same, we noticed that they had revamped the interiors. It was more spacious and reflected a neutral color theme. Nothing much to commend on the décor except that it was neat and clean. The some soft Indian music playing in the background added to the experience.

As we were looking out for new places as part of our culinary adventure, we heard about a biriyani festival at the Avanti Palace (Salmiya) and it had been quite some time since we went out for biriyani. We had never been there before and what a better time than now to try it out we thought. It’s not difficult to locate and with its large green board you really cant miss it. Moreover they also had the biriyani festival banner outside. As we walked into the warm reception area we were greeted with some soft Indian music and...

I’ve been craving Chinese food for quite sometime. I liked P.F Changs, but then its not really an affordable option for frequent visits. We heard about this place called ‘China Kitchen‘ in Ras Salmiya, close to the Mowasat Hospital, and we could not wait to try out the place. We were really hungry that day and since it is located in one of the side lanes it was a bit of challenge to find the restaurant.  We were pleased with the welcome at the restaurant. The waiters were  quite friendly and most importantly they were familiar with the (menu)...
