    Premium Lebense Restaurant in Kuwait.Food quality is top notch.. Can't compare the quality of food offered..top class..From the crockery used to serve the food quality is evident..Tried their chicken soup, Fattosh.. Eggplant Muttabel..evidently made of fresh and top quality ingredients.As a main course tried their Tikka platter...well cooked.. Amazing...Also tried their Lamb Shank Biryani...too good..amazing..soft and tender lamb shank with made superior quality rice.. Excellent.. Dishes are pricer..but it's worth the money... Highly recommend..

    This is one of the well known restaurant in Kuwait located on the scenic Gulf Road near the iconic Kuwait Towers. I've always had good experience with their food. The food is mostly Lebanese (mixed grill is their speciality). The place does not have easy parking but they provide efficient paid parking service (KD 1 or around 3 dollars). The valet parking used to be free but considering the quick and fast service they provide, I think it is worth it. The food itself is great. On our last visit, we tried several dishes and none disappointed. Soup, salad, mixed grill and salmon with yogurt drink. What is really unique about this place that I have not seen anywhere in the world is their service. They have nailed it down on how best to serve you. For example, even as the server just finished taking your order, the soup is already on the table. The place is massive as far as restaurants go and it is always buzzing with customers and waiters running around. Overall, one of the best restaurant in Kuwait.

    We had lunch there. The food is delicious and the service is good. I liked the design of the restaurant from the inside and the outside. There is a parking area for the cars behind the restaurant and they offer valet parking. Prices are a bit high, but compared to the location, service, and quality, it is within a certain range.

    This is one of the best Middle Eastern meals of my entire life, and since it was my first time eating out in Kuwait, it makes me wonder: is this considered a typical meal here in terms of quality?! Where to begin. Well, it started with the best Middle Eastern tea of my life. They have a local name for it that I don’t recall, and it’s utterly unique. I figured I’d finally try fuul= mashed fava bean stew with lemon and spices. Amazing. Again, it’s my first time trying it so take my recommendation with a grain of salt. They give you both pre made pita and fresh tandoori bread which is obviously way better. Fried cheese! It reminded me of the Greek flaming cheese dish, and if I had a critique, it’s that the portion size is too big. The real highlight was the mixed chicken kebab. I know that sounds generic and uninspired but they got some of the best charcoal perfuming I’ve ever had on chicken, and I’ve had tons of grilled chicken in my day. They had 3-4 different marinades and they were all excellent and totally different from one another. One was possibly saffron. No idea what the others were but it was unlike any spice mix I’ve tried. As a foreigner looking for top notch Middle Eastern food, this was a fantastic treat of a meal and it’s certainly no secret amongst the locals.

    The restaurant failed to meet the expectations set by its hype, particularly in terms of food quality and taste. The disparity in price was glaring, especially when compared to other establishments offering superior food and service. The shocking aspect was the exorbitant charge of 1.050 dinar for a regular bottle of water. Additionally, the service did not align with the restaurant's overhyped and overpriced image; it lacked the greatness and pleasantness one would anticipate. In summary, the restaurant appears to be overhyped and overpriced, delivering an overall experience that falls short, characterised by average food quality and less-than-ideal service.

    Knowing that this is Kuwait and that you can't claim to have food quality like the USA or Europe, I'd say it's a good local food restaurant. The restaurant is very large and spacious, the staff very professional and the prices to match. Frozen fries are Kuwait's bane...

    Went here to for a small dessert and shisha and this place is fantastic! It’s kind of a renovated old building but I like the design and all that. It’s best to come here on day time thou’ so you can see the beauty of the sea view from the outside. It is near the road too. It’s hard to find a space if their parking lot is full so I would recommend parking on the other side of the street. Just be careful crossing the road, bruh!

    Excellent Lebanese restaurant with a comfortable ambience and atmosphere. One of the oldest restaurants in Kuwait, that is popular with both locals and expats alike. The food is very good (although not necessarily the best I’ve had), reasonably quick to come out, and is backed by friendly & courteous service. Definitely a place I’d recommend to visit if you’re in Kuwait.

    70-year old history, Mais Alghanim is one of the best Kuwaiti restaurant's for sure. By serving exceptional-quality food with a super-delicious taste, providing outstanding service, and offering value-for-money meals, they actually prove how to gain love.

  • 4/5 zubayer H. 3 years ago on Google
    One of the old and traditional restaurant of Kuwait which should be in your list to visit if you ever come to Kuwait. Reservation is easy and quite fast through their web page. The view is amazing but you must add special request in Reservation to book a table at sea sight. Menu is brief. However if you are not acquainted with the typical Middle East lamb kebab then you should not take lamb instead you should take chicken kebab which is quite good.

    They don't make reservation on weekend. It is not my first time visit here, we came on Friday and we would like to sit in non-smoking area so we sat back side of the restaurant which we prefer to sit with sea view side, that was the problem. I recommend you go in the week and make reservation from street side at first floor for sea view. Food was delicious, service was good even it was a Friday night, price acceptable.

    Food was so delicious and good atmosphere was so perfect and calm. Service was so great too. The chicken biryani is so good and perfect for a good start for the day. I wish this restaurant has a branch in Saudi Arabia specially, in eastern province or at least it is not six hour drives. If you are the owner or the manager, please open a branch in Saudi Arabia please.

    (Translated by Google) The food is very pleasant, and we add, but you deserve less than a star, so that you will learn once again that you will not answer me to the customer without what he asks. You want to answer May to the customer without what he asks, so that he can think about her for free, and just finish eating by holding him accountable for her. And God is a provocative movement.

    Such simple but amazing and authentic Arabic dishes! Superb service, super quick and ever polite. Service is incredibly quick and the food's taste is always consistently good. With good valet parking and conveniently located on the main road itself, it's easy to get to and certainly a must visit for everyone. Suggest coming for early dinners on weekends as the waiting can be quite long.

    The food here is Mediterranean and focused on the Lebanese cuisine. I would recommend ordering the appetizers and side dishes for a group to share, as the main dishes are not that great. The grilled meats are too dry and the kebab chicken apparently was under-cooked. They have good service and a great seating arrangement for big crowds.

    Elegant, maticulously clean, great Lebanese and Middle Eastern cuisine. Two floors. Non-Smoking on the ground floor with a small arcade area for the kids. The first floor is a smoking floor, and they serve Hookah. Wheelchaire accessible, plenty of parking with paid valet parking as an option. You are better off having a reservation, since the waiting time for walk-in customers can be up to 45 minutes. All-in-all, great food and service.

    So annoying that they don’t take reservations to save guests and their own times. People wait for hours to be seated. They also don’t apply the indoor smoking policy, people upstairs smoke, and that makes it worse is doing so when they are with their children. Food is good though.

    Their new fall menu is amazing. Definitely order the date avocado salad, cherry brochettes and hummus muhammara. The veal escalope was terrible, don’t order it. Edit from 7 May, 2022: Visited on Friday afternoon, absolutely terrible service by the waiters. We wanted to sit by the window but the host very rudely asked us to sit on a table which is partly covered by the wall, despite all the other tables being empty. This has never happened before and we regularly come here. Main course was delivered so late, I had to ask 3 waiters separately who all went to the kitchen to check but never came back to inform us on why the wait, waiter is no where around to be found to order other items, especially bread when we ran out of it. We planned on having desserts and tea after our meal but figured why wait again, even finding a waiter to ask for the bill took a lot of time.

    The very best thing about Mais is the consistency in producing high quality food. If you order a plate of hummus today it will be as good as you had ordered it last year or the year before that. Complete control of quality.

    Fresh food. You don't feel heavy or sluggish after having the food. Provided you eat like a normal person :-)

    This place has maintained good management 👍🏼 Always a good place for lunch weather business or with friends and family. Chicken liver is a favorite, kebab has a lot of spices, and the avocado salad was a good choice because I enjoyed the sweet dressing.

    One of the best Lebanese restaurants in the State of Kuwait, my meal is very affordable in many ways. For instance you can enjoy all the flavors and they give you free Iranian bread. The manager I just met is handsome and good looking!

    One of the finest restaurants in Kuwait city. Everything was amazing food, service and ambience. I ordered mixed grill, lamb chops, salad and karak tea. Everything was perfect, specially the tea was amazing. It's a shame that only two cups could be made from the pot. Definitely would have loved more. The service was quick and courteous.

    Not what I was expecting, but still a darn good sit-down experience! The website and photos will make you think this is a more mature affair for foodies. On the site, it's a great showcase of what it offers, asking for reservations, etc. However, when I went as a walk-in, it was loud and there were a lot of children. Brightly lit. Not an elegant affair. Which is fine by me, but I expected different. Keep this in mind. Service is FANTASTIC. I actually had a hard time keeping track of my waiter because everyone was pitching in with a team effort. I did not have cell service and there is no free WiFi here, so they have options of a QR code for a menu OR a paper menu (which does not explain all the dishes or have photos of each dish). But they tried to explain to me what things were, which I thought was incredibly patient and beyond what they had to do. Everyone was very attentive and friendly! They dropped off some pickles and olives along with a literal bag of packaged Arabic pita bread (saj) and pita chips after they took my order. Was a bit weird to see it still in the packaging, but no biggie to me. Started off with the falafel, which, honestly, was more pleasant to eat than flavorful. Presentation was VERY nice and is exactly as pictured on the site, but there wasn't a whole lot of flavor. The main dish came at the same time, which was the momawash shrimp. I was almost afraid they swindled me of seafood like a cheaper restaurant would... but the shrimp was hidden underneath the rice. This was VERY flavorful and the shrimp was succulently-sweet and not rubbery! The fried onion pieces on the side also added texture and flavor to the rest of the dish. Dessert was very nice. I have a sweet tooth so it might not be to everyone's liking, but the mafroukeh was great. Nice, light, and again, lots of different flavors with the different herbs and spices. Definitely worth the hubbub. Just keep in mind that it is not a quiet or romantic setting (unless you appreciate the din and people-watching).

    My favorite restaurant in Kuwait by far. Super quick service, amazing quality of food, great location and nice sea view. Most of the dishes are delicious (my top is Hummus with Pine Nuts) and only one I would not recommend is the raw meat selection- I was looking for something Tartare like but this was far off and didn’t taste nearly as good.

  • 5/5 Elena V. 1 year ago on Google
    It’s a great place, with quick service and fresh food … always! Hummus with pine nuts is a must try. The chef’s raw meats were okay, but won’t order again. Arabic coffee ☕️ - 🤎
