    Nice branch for Gia with affordable prices. The chicken dish I ordered was nice although little dry to my taste. But overall, nice menu with healthy options

    This place is well-known for its exceptional service and delicious dishes, but I visit specifically for their black coffee, as they serve excellent coffee. Sometimes, I also indulge in some light pastries with my coffee. I particularly love their Zaatar pie, crafted wonderfully with a light and crispy crust. With my frequent visits, I know they prioritize choosing the best ingredients for their patrons and ensure satisfaction down to the smallest details. I consider them a successful model in the food and beverage sector. Lastly, the location of this branch is outstanding, featuring indoor and outdoor seating overlooking the garden, creating a wonderful and unique atmosphere.

    Yes ... We are in 2017 and this place has no electricity outlet !! That means pay for the food and leave please . Horrible music (2 songs that are loud and repeated million times ) and no where to put your complaint . Yes everything else is good but still these stuff that are missing are essential to anyone in 2017 who has a phone iPad or a laptop. They have only one that's actually working and its like 6 meters away from the closest couch .

    They have good coffee which I love. The place is away from traffic, quiet surroundings, plenty of seatings inside and out. Wide selection of food, i loved the hummus selection (they have about 4 types). I love coming here just to have my cappuccino and read.

    Fine dining. Small, quiet and lovely place. Liked the Turkey Mushroom Calzone and Al Funghi Pizza. Tried the spanish latte and it was fine but not very sweet. The service was very good and friendly staff.

    The restaurant is what it is and we all know about it. But this branch just happens to be in Khalid Complex, with is a beautifully small complex with a few other stores. A great place in Salmiya if you want to enjoy a quiet time. Their outdoor seating is new to me and I think its perfect in the evenings during these months on November to march. Great spot.

    Absolutely DELIGHTFUL. Staff was so nice, they have free infused water to drink and I swear by the beetroot humus. I would travel back to Kuwait just to eat that again. Portion sizes are great as well and everything was fresh!!

    Omg what happened to this place! Before it was very tasty, high quality of products, good service but now… it’s nice to have a terrace but is not nice to keep only few waiters to manage 12 tables outside and plenty inside, my favorite risotto with short ribs became a dessert, because of amount of sugar which been added to it, but star of the night is a salmon sandwich, such a HUGE disappointment! Salad leaves wasn’t washed well so I literally was eating a ground 🤦🏼‍♀️ have u ever tried to eat a ground and pay for it? If no, welcome to Gia. That’s was such a depressed experience , I felt sorry for two waiters who was running non stop, I felt sorry for myself that I made such a mistake to come to this place. Never ever again.

  • 5/5 Maha A. 4 years ago on Google
    I love the place, the location and the food. The place is cosy, the location is close to sea view and the food is healthy/tasty. The staff are so helpful even when I ask to turn off the music.

  • 5/5 Debi W. 4 years ago on Google
    I love the freshness of the meals at this quaint cafe-- the bowls featuring falafel or salmon are just yummy deliciousness. I had a cold when I went and my server gave me a shot of ginger with my tea. I'll definitely be back!

  • 5/5 Bojan L. 2 years ago on Google
    The place is very unique and the food is very tasty and you can manage the portion by adding or remove some ingredients (which means they are preparing on a spot, which I like). All recommendation for the place. I live it.

  • 5/5 MUNERAH 2 years ago on Google
    The best breakfast spot in Kuwait 🤍👏🏻

  • 5/5 Joshua H. 1 year ago on Google
    Gia is low-key one of the most reliably excellent restaurants in Kuwait. While most things are good, two dishes that are game-changing: First, their falafel wrap is both consistently one of the best and very reasonably priced. Second, the pizzas at Gia are honestly—I’m not kidding—shockingly tasty. Don’t sleep on the brie pizza, and the mushroom is great.

  • 5/5 Meshari A. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place and calm, the service was great 👍🏽

  • 1/5 Venera F. 1 year ago on Google
    I gave 1 star to the place not because of food quality and taste but because they say that the place closes 23:30 and once I came in the restaurant 22:50 they didn’t serve me they said only pick up but not dine in.

  • 4/5 Mohsina M. 1 year ago on Google
    The place is beautifully designed, it’s got a very homely vibe. There’s both indoor and outdoor seating, there’s heaters outside for when it’s gets chilly and umbrellas if you need some shade. They also have a bathroom which is convenient. I wouldn’t recommend it for working or studying as they play loud music and the seating is not comfortable for long periods. The location is great as well, it’s quiet and not crowded at all. I tried the buttermilk pancakes 9/10, Oven-baked lasagna 8/10 and Shakshouka 7/10. I look forward to trying the rest of their menu but it’s tad bit on the expensive side. If it had more reasonable pricing, it’d get 5 stars. And, The staff is really sweet and friendly!

    Nice place to eat pasta and pizza. We ordered their Wagyu burger, Truffle pizza, Kale salad, White Cheesecake and Hazelnut cake. So far we liked all of the dishes we ordered, they taste fresh and delicious although we believe the desserts could be better.
