More restaurants and shops are set to open at KIPCO Tower Mall in Sharq, I was there early this morning and saw the following;

The Breakfast Club: I tried their breakfast when they first opened in Fintas [link], it’s a Kuwaiti based small restaurant serving breakfast and brunch. At least I don’t need to drive all the way to Fintas.

The Confectioners Shop: Yet another Kuwaiti-based concept for Confectioneries ran by two young Kuwaiti girls, they serve a variety of cookies and dips. I paid them a visit when they first opened in Al Tilal complex in Shuweikh [link].

Bagel It: More and more shops serving bagels are opening in Kuwait, I heard they serve good bagels for breakfast but I’ve to try them to judge.

Bredz: Artisan bakery and kitchen, I remember spotting it at Sharq Market before but I haven’t tried them as of yet, though I read positive reviews about their burgers and salads.

I was asked to try sweets and pastries from a new Kuwaiti concept small business called Yummy Treats, their shop is located in Salmiya at the corner of Baghdad street and Homoud Zaid Al Khaled street intersection. Their shop is so tiny and cute.

Inside I was welcomed by the owner and my first question to her was “What’s new about Yummy Treats since we have plenty of cupcake businesses in Kuwait?”, “Yes you are absolutely right, but our sweets and pastries are freshly made everyday, we never keep anything for tomorrow, I prepare everything myself with care and I buy every ingredient myself.” She smiled and replied.

I checked their menu and saw whoopie pies, cupcakes, tea cakes, coffee cakes, browies, cookies, and assorted cakes. I liked their cake presentations, so cute.

I tasted their cupcakes and cookies and liked their red velvet and carrot cupcakes. They sell the dozen cupcakes for KD4 and KD5 for the big cake. I find them great for birthdays, events, or family gatherings.

Address: Salmiya, Corner of Baghdad st. & Homoud Zaid Al-Khaled st.

I was visiting a friend in Egaila area and spotted another Hungry Bunny restaurant opened in a mall located nearby Al Bairaq Mall, the other branches are in Jahra and Khafji and very hard to find. My friend got very nostalgic and insisted that we have a quick lunch.

However, this is the Saudi one and not the same Hungry Bunny by Al Homaizi back in 80′s and early 90′s, there was a big legal dispute and claims between the two companies about the copyrights law. The owner of the new Hungry Bunny still insists that this is the original one.

Even with all sort of franchise and Kuwaiti-concept restaurants and cuisines popping everyday in Kuwait, I still enjoy eating shawerma every now and then. Let’s admit it, it’s tasty, it’s satisfying, and can save you money when compared say to high-end restaurants. I tried to sum up the best Shawerma places that I tried in Kuwait with regards to taste, quality… etc. though I have to say that price of shawerma has increased a lot in recent years.

al Farooj: It’s a popular in U.A.E, and they opened their first branch in Kuwait in Salmiyah opposite to GÉANT. They serve beef, chicken, and Mexican shawarma, and they are all tasty, but remark is about the price (750 fils), that’s high wish it was cheaper.

Moqarmesha: It’s ran by Kuwaiti chef Ahmad Al Bader and located in Sha’ab seaside and Mahboula. They serve beef and chicken shawarma for 650 fils, and the taste is great and Lebanese bread is crispy and thin, the shawarma is small so you may need to eat two or three. 

Address: Sha’ab seaside, 1st right turn as you enter from Fahaheel express way.

Phone: 22615234 / 23722580

Abo Khodour: It’s from Lebanon and I still remember when it was first opened in Kuwait in Hawally, they later opened in Salmiya and Mangaf. Their shawarma is big with good price. I like their bee shawarma.

Address: Hawally, opposite to Al Bayan Bilingual School, near the round about on Beirut street.

Phone: 22659270 / 23730027

Kurdo: They was a big buzz about their shawarma when they first opened, it does taste delicious especially the chicken. Though sometimes their shawarma is too oily and it’s relatively pricey (650 fils).

Their branches are located in Salem Mubarak street in Salmiya, Marina Mall, and 360 Mall.

Phone: 25740004

Naif Chicken: A very classic but still offers good chicken shawarma for a good price (250 fils).
