Restaurants in Kuwait City
The restaurants below have been classed into four different pricing categories:
$$$$ (over KD20)
$$$ (KD15 to KD20)
$$ (KD10 to KD14)
$ (under KD10)
These prices are for a three-course meal for one, including taxes, tip (only given in better restaurants) and soft drinks (Kuwait is a dry state where alcohol is forbidden).
Al-Boom
Al-Boom restaurant, in the hull of a dhow (traditional fishing boats in the Arabian Gulf), took three years to construct from teak wood and 2.5 tonnes of copper, and was completed with 8.8 tonnes of handmade iron nails. Dinner is a fixed menu of grilled grouper or sirloin, delivered spitting to your table in the galley. The ship is dry, in all senses of the word, so seasickness is of no concern.
Ayam Zaman
Split over a number of levels, this arabesque restaurant hanging in the atrium of the Crowne Plaza Hotel , serves delicious Lebanese food with true Arabian hospitality. After the enormous Arabian Friday brunch, you'll be napping like the locals.
Beit 7
An international menu is served in this distinctively Kuwaiti house which doubles as a national heritage site. The ambience is homely, with tables tucked around the interior courtyard of coral and gypsum walls.
Burj Al-Hamam
This steel-clad restaurant in the middle of the Corniche is a great place to sample delicious Middle-Eastern fare in a local party atmosphere. There's a wide view of the sea, outdoor and indoor seating and a continual waft of multi-flavoured sheesha (water pipe).
Souq Marbarakia
Sit at any of the plastic tables and chairs around the western edge of the Old Souq and you'll be sure of an authentic, fresh and delicious meal of kebabs, green leaves, pickles, hummus and Arabic bread from the surrounding kebab shops. It's a great way to feel the pulse of the traditional heart of the city. Between Mubarak al-Kabir, Ahmad al-Jaber & Ali al-Salem Streets
