Green Land, a long established vegetarian Indian enterprise, is right where it belongs in Kuwait. Nestled in Souq Al-Mubarakiya on the money exchange street opposite Al Ahli Bank, it takes its place amidst the few remnants of Kuwait’s heritage that still give one glimpse into what used to be. Green Land fits well here – among the currency changers and carpet sellers – because of the intimate connection Kuwait and India have shared over the centuries. Perhaps the most tangible vestige of this past and continuing influence lies in Kuwaitis’ love of their own rice-based dishes that are fundamentally Indian.

Green Land is located in the Heritage Souq, Souq Al Mubarakiya, Money Exchange Street opposite Al Ahli bank. Tel: 2242 4246/7. Follow Instagram @greenland_kuwait.
