    Truly a unique experience. The place has a traditional feel that is rarely seen in kuwait. The place is very family friendly.

    One of Kuwait traditional places where you can enjoy wide variety of ancient dishes/ beverages in it’s authentic taste sold for reasonable prices , the place is over looking the sea , kids play ground available . A place all family can spend good time . Entry is Free as well as parking but it’s usually crowded . Highly recommended . NK

  • 3/5 Mr S. 1 year ago on Google • 103 reviews
    It was a great place. Respect the preferences of the separation between families and bachelors sitting places. They have plenty of tables to dine in and a beach view is magnificent. There is a tables in the outside on the beach but those are for families only. The place still keeping the old school style impression and decorations. However, The most thing that I hate in this place is the food prices. They have increase the prices up to 75% in the last 2 years but the quantity are the same. Not forgot to mention that those traditional cafes are sponsored by the country so the don have to rase the prices that much.

    Great location to enjoy the evening at the sea side with family and friends. The kids will enjoy the rides. There is a wide range of food and snacks available at a very reasonable price. Just note that there is no indoor seating, so just make sure of the weather.

  • 4/5 melissa c. 2 years ago on Google
    Cool place to be to feel like a local. Cleanliness is lacking in comparison to the rest of the places (Kuwait has a crazy good cleanliness policy imo)

  • 5/5 Víctor Antonio Soto I. 2 years ago on Google
    Inexpensive traditional place. Enjoy your tea

  • 3/5 Lost in O. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place with family kind of vibes whereby you would melt into kuwait vibes and culture. I have enjoyed my tea. The staff needs to be reminded to explain their menu to non local people instead of getting upset when asked.

  • 5/5 abdollah f. 2 years ago on Google
    If you love traditional places and gathering it’s one of the places you have to go

  • 4/5 Ibrahim A. 3 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Sultan N. 1 year ago on Google
    Mixed bag .. atmosphere is nice however staff seems tired and overwhelmed Arabic coffee wasn't good (Zaatar taste in it which shouldn't be an ingredient)

  • 5/5 Saif Al_deen 6. 2 years ago on Google
    Good place to enjoy the old decor of old kuwait 🇰🇼 And you can have tea and coffee there. Also, there is grilled chicken and meat there with more and more The entrance is free, but the tea and stuff costs money, but don't worry, it's not so high in price. Highly recommended for families

👍 My whole family and I have been having breakfast weekly, every Friday morning at Bazza for over 4 years. Sometimes there is a crowd and often times it is just us - perhaps because we're there at 7am. The food is always tasty and we've yet to have a bad experience. I've ordered the whole menu and no...
