At Amiti Noura, there exists a breakfast destination that transcends the ordinary. It is a place where traditional Kuwaiti flavors meet modern charm set amidst a beautifully designed atmosphere making you feel like you’re truly having a meal at your favorite aunt’s house – Amiti Noura. We have heard all about it as the ideal place for family gatherings sharing in delightful local cuisine, all that was missing was visiting and trying the incredible breakfast offerings!
Picture this: An inviting table complete with a spread of Hummus, Labneh, Shakshuka, Falafel, a heaping Cheese Platter, and vegetables. With the morning sun letting a perfect amount of light seep into the restaurant, you’re first drawn into the aromatic Lamb Mince Hamssah, a savory delight that captures the essence of Kuwaiti cuisine with tomato sauce spiced with cumin seeds, curry leaves, red chilis and flavored with the delicious and traditional hamssah spices.
All this served alongside bread that has elevated Kuwaiti cuisine for centuries. Going perfectly with any of their dishes, the Tannour bread is a requirement, and prepare to be asking for bread refills along your breakfast!
The Shakshuka deserves recognition on its own, as it’s a culinary masterpiece of baked eggs with tomato sauce and cheese, topped with herb oil and black pepper, inviting you to cozy up with your loved ones and delight in the best conversations. By this point, which is still quite early in your journey, you begin to realize one thing: Breakfast at Amiti Noura isn’t just a meal, it’s a celebration of flavors that are carefully studied to create the optimal experience for everyone regardless of what you order.
Arguably the best Hummus in town (yes, that statement is a big one to make but one we’re comfortable making!) is in the middle of the table in perfect distance from everyone as they keep an eye on it making sure that it’s not done before they have enough of it. Spoiler alert: You can never have enough of it. It’s the perfect prelude, companion, or finale to breakfast. At all points, this hummus dish is worth a bite or two.
Right beside it is a friend of every home and certainly a friend of Amiti Noura; The Labneh. With its thick and tangy allure, it is everyone’s companion for a reason. We loved it so much that we ensured to also add the Labneh Manakeesh to our order, which did not disappoint on perfectly baked flatbread.
Amongst all the different dishes, it’s easy to let one pass you by but that’s not the case at Amiti Noura as the Cheese Platter, adorned with an assortment of cheeses and vegetables including Halloumi, Kashkaval, Cucumbers, Tomatoes and more.
For us though, there is one dish that really stole the spotlight as the Halloumi Manakeesh is a savory revelation that combines the distinct flavors of the Halloumi with the perfectly thin and crispy bread and the sauce as each bite is a harmonious blend of textures.
Then there is the Karak, a soul-warming hot beverage that is a symbol of comfort and community in Kuwaiti culture. The warmth it conveys, both in temperature and sentiment, is an absolute must-have with any dish you order at Amiti Noura as no breakfast there is complete without it.
Beyond the delectable dishes at Amiti Noura, there is an undeniable charm in the atmosphere. The warm hospitality and attention to detail elevates the dining experience making you feel like you’re an honored guest invited into the home of the country’s favorite family member.
