We love that more healthy eateries are popping up in K-Town. If you’re meeting a friend in the city, then why not head to Nutri Kw located in Dar Al-Awadhi? Their Instagram account will help you become more conscious about your food choices, as they aptly provide amazing healthy dining tips, and they will answer any question you might have about what goes into each and every meal that they prepare.

2. Healthy Feast

3. Gia
We were upset when Gia closed down for their big renovation, but the reopening meant for new dishes alongside our favorite classics like their ridiculously addictive Quinoa Avocado Salad. Located in Al-Khaled Complex in Salmiya, the Mediterranean Deli/Café allows you to indulge while still paying attention to what you’re eating. If you wish to bulk up on veggies, their salad selections will fill you up before you think about ordering dessert! If it’s a cheat day, then by all means, order that Crack Cake! They also recently introduced an incredible breakfast menu, so you can still do breakfast and brunch with friends, without giving up on healthy options.
Call 2564 0257 for pick-ups. For more details, find them on Instagram @Giakwt.
4. Kababji
What’s not to love about Lebanese cuisine? You can get your protein fix, while still loading up on fresh salads and vegetables. We love Kababji because they truly use the yummiest, and lightest, cuts of beef. If you’re ordering lunch at the office with a group of colleagues, then perhaps you can stay away from the breads and fries, and order a Shish Tawook or Grilled Veal plate that arrives with yummy, and might we add super healthy, hummus! Also, their grilled Kibbeh Sajjiyeh is to die for!
Kababji has many locations in Kuwait. Order via talabat.com, or call their hotline at 1861 616 and find them on Instagram @Kababji_Kuwait.
