I invited myself to the newly opened Indian restaurant Moti Mahal Delux (See I’m getting addicted to Indian food), its located next to Johnny Carino’s on Gulf road. In the same location there were two before; Big Al’s and The Noodle House and both closed, I even thought that this location is jinxed.

I’m noticing many Indian restaurants opening in Kuwait but I don’t mind it. Inside it was medium-size and decorations were simple with Indian touch, though I liked the slow Indian music playing in the background and the sea view. I picked the menu and saw the traditional Indian dishes, mostly tandoori.

I started with lentil soup (light and tasted good), then I ordered spicy chicken tikka (taste was good) and coupled it with steam rice.

The few plates that I tasted were good, the service level was fine. My check came KD6.650 which is reasonable.

I’ll have another visit for Moti Mahal and will try other plates. Question is, will Moti Mahal survive or fail like the others?

We wanted to try something different for lunch so we went over to the newly opened modern Indian restaurant Zafran at Center Point in Salem Mubarak Street in Salmiyah for lunch.

Zafran was opened couple weeks ago, and the Bollywood actress, Singer and former MTV India VJ Sophie Choudry was there, isn’t she pretty ?

I was impressed with the interior designs and decorations, its also very spacious with many tables and private cabins.

They had extensive menu for food and drinks, the names were tough too so I needed a lot of help to pick the dishes.

After many questions, we picked lentil soup, chicken soup, Achar Gosht (lamb, caramelized onion), Keema Mutter (braised minced beef), Sade Chawal (steamed rice). Whew ! That was hard to spell.

As for the drinks, we picked fresh orange juice and lemon-mint juice.

The food tasted great, though the soup was little cold and watery. The restaurant was almost empty, we were very comfortable exploring every corner.

Their Murgh and rice was so delicious, they also had this amazing tasty bread (see above). Their service was ok, but the prices needed to be improved especially that their food portions are small.

The invoice totalled 15.4 K.D (2 persons).

Score: 4/5

I want them to provide more staff and enhance their prices and have bigger portions for the food. I loved the decorations a lot ! The food quality was great and the place was comfortable.
