Old time joints in Salmiya gone in one shot

This corner of Salmiya market where joints like oldie Hungry Bunny existed..and more recently Chicken Tikka, KFC, and Baskin Robins did business, is now gone. Seems like they are demolishing the structure. This is right opposite the Al-Ghanem Store in Salmiya market. Golden memories…

VGarden a salad joint dropped by at our HQ promoting what else but salads. I picked up their Buffalo Chicken Salad, which set me back a whopping KD 2.350/- Once I opened the plastic box, got the shock of the day, as there were few tiny chicken pieces [count them as 6-8 only] and rest [...]

Kurdo: Lifesaver at 4pm

Haven’t seen many rather any shewerma joints offering well done shewermas as early as 4pm and especially in cold chilling winter days. Kurdo has been a lifesaver today when the temperatures were hovering near zero that too at mid-day. Great taste, lot of variations, middle of shopping area, easy accessibility, and fast service makes it [...]

Review: Homous & Shewerma at Nawara Salmiya

I have tried homous from lot of places in Kuwait, but I have yet to find something better than the one available at Nawara in Salmiya. This joint is obscured within the streets of Salmiya, but look below for the map. They have all the usual Arabian stuff hamous, sandwiches, shewerma etc. The shewermas may [...]

Review: Mexican Spicy Shewerma at King Farouj

This joint is located opposite the Pizza Hut on Belajat Street. This is the end of Restaurant Street towards the Belajat street. As for shewerma they claim to have various styles from Italian, to Mexican to Arabian to Farouj Special, but Mexican is famous. So we picked the Mexican Spicy Shewerma. The shewerma was not [...]

Review: Ruby Tuesday, an awkward experience

One can feel the winter slowly creeping in on us daily, and with the feeling of that mild chill, one feels the need for foods that are more sumptuous, heavy and one that would fill the body with warmth. I enjoy steaks and especially during the winters as I feel they are the soul food [...]
