    The place was buzzing, noisy and busy on a Saturday night. Quite clearly extremely popular with a wide mix of audiences. The service was polite and very quick. We ordered a mixed shawarma plate, meat kababs and grilled fish. Everything was delicious, especially the fish. The tahini sauce with the shawarma was also very good. They have a very wide menu, so even vegetarians may find something to thier liking (salads, pizza, pasta, rice, noodles). Definitely recommended.

    Shawarma, Kebab and Falafals are really good and Hummus had the real taste of Chickpeas. Adding the latest pictures. Pros:- Value for money eatery. Friendly staff and quick service. Juices are really good. Cons:- Getting a parking spot during the peak dinner hours is a bit tough.

    This place is very very good. Great prices Great service Phenomenal food BD 7.8 w/vat for enough food for at least 3 people (we had to do take away for left overs) Grilled chicken breast was flavorful and not dry Vine leaves were delicious, but they usually are at most places. The rice in these was a bit more flavorful than most. The Arabic Shawarma (beef) was fantastic. Best I've ever had. The hummus was very good as well. The Reash (lamb) was incredibly good. Unbelievably good for the price. Top notch. It's all just very well done and delicious.

    The affordability of Al Shoala is one of the best qualities of this grill restaurant. The Roussi and other sandwiches that are available in large sizes (like the chicken or meat shawarma sarokh / صاروخ (sarukh)), those sandwiches can keep you full for the rest of the day! It’s literally a foot long! Parking is limited with street parking only. Everything was delicious!

    My wife's favorite Biriyani in Bahrain. Really nice food and reasonable prices. Been a staple of ours for probably 20 years. They have really good chicken and rice. Their staff is very attentive and friendly. Would definitely recommend. Not a 5 star joint but the food is on point.

    One of the popular Turkish style restaurant in Bahrain. We ordered mutton neck (Rakkaba) with majboos rice, and chicken tikka. I recommend only chicken grill n tikka items during Dinner time because I strongly felt Mutton neck and rice was not fresh. Other food items were good including hummus. Informed manager about it but he didn't bother to check.

    The staff were friendly and attentive. Our server, greeted us with a genuine smile and promptly took our orders. However, there was a slight delay in bringing our drinks, which cost them a star. Food Quality (5/5 stars): The menu at is a fusion of Mediterranean and Arabic cuisine. We started with the platter—a delightful assortment of hummus, olives, and warm bread. The flavors danced on my palate. For the main course, I opted for the grilled BBQ and sauce. The BBQ was perfectly cooked, flaky, and bursting with flavor. Ambiance (4.5/5 stars): restaurant strikes a balance between cozy and chic. The lighting and exposed brick walls create an intimate atmosphere, perfect for date families or catching up with friends. The only drawback was the noise level—it got a tad loud during peak hours. Pricing (4/5 stars): Considering the quality of food and service, Shoala is reasonably priced. The portions are generous, and you won’t leave hungry. However, some might find it slightly on the higher side for a casual dining experience. Overall Experience (4.5/5 stars): restaurant won me over with its delectable food and warm ambiance. It’s a place where you can unwind, savor good food, and lose track of time. I’ll definitely be back for more delicious and that cozy corner booth.

    Love the food and the staff are amazing...but the place just a bit hard if you're a solo woman because of the customers (men)..unless you know how to ignore and just enjoy the amazing Lamb chops and the grape juice..haha..but all is all it was an amazing experience..💜

    One of the best restaurant located in Muharraq for chicken biryani, mix mezza , mix grill amazing taste ..just love it Shawarma used to be very good in this place Past days but recent time the taste and it’s below average now. If you are going to try any Kabab or biryani with salad I would recommand you to try this.

    The food is excellent and I always come here. But the guy who takes order outside didn’t take my order after waiting for 15 minutes on purpose. Raised the complaint to the owner who’s standing in the cashier desk but he doesn’t seem to bother as well. Very terrible customer service for such good restaurant. Extremely disappointed and won’t come here again. I have easily spent over 100 BHD at this restaurant in the past year. You lost a loyal customer.

  • 1/5 Faisal H. 1 month ago on Google • 22 reviews New
    unfortunately, the experience was far from satisfying. The food quality was disappointing—ingredients lacked freshness, flavors were bland, It was clear that minimal effort went into the presentation or taste. To make matters worse, the prices were shockingly high for what was offered. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend unless they address the imbalance between quality and pricing. There are far better options elsewhere for a much more reasonable cost.

  • 1/5 jhayDM 1 year ago on Google
    I've enjoyed the food, but I've noticed that the size of the grilled chicken isn't consistent. When I order solo, I consistently receive a small portion, whereas with company, the size seems more generous.

    I tried the shawarma and grill. Shawarma Good: For those who love the sourness of the sauce and mint Average: For those doesn't like tge soreness Grill The grill is really good and worth trying The remarkable nature of the staffs can't be unseen. Very welcoming and friendly.

  • 5/5 Lina A. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the best and CHEAPEST food you can get. Their mixed grill and lamb chops are my must buys (and don’t forget the fries). Their dine-in is decent considering the price pic, but note that they are CLEAN and 100% sanitary. Their staff are respectful and super nice.

  • 5/5 Khurshid A. 2 years ago on Google

    A great place to have Turkish grills. Its a very rush place and not very spacious one, but they never disappoint you. Their bread along with just Mix mazza is appetizing.. try their Shawarma plate, its so yummy..🤤all Items👌👌A must go place for foodies in Bahrain🏨

  • 1/5 khalifa b. 2 years ago on Google
    I didn't really like the food there. The chicken was okay. Not sure about the meat I didn't really like it not my taste. I thought it will be the best place for grilled meals but I guess it was not. The chicken shawarma there is ok.

  • 5/5 Imtiaz A. 2 years ago on Google
    Al Shoala is one of the best restaurants to enjoy mix grill and local salads specially the mix maza. When you get bored of English and local foods, you can turn towards this and enjoy tastiest BBQ grills and much more

👍👍 Great place for breakfast. The breakfast tray for one is plenty for one person with great selection. A bit on the expensive side though since the tray doesn't include any drinks. But nevertheless great price for the beautiful location and great service.
