Established in 1953, Mais Alghanim is a classic establishment in Kuwait. This Middle Eastern concept is perfected over time, running for more than 60 years across three distinct generations. With a seating capacity of 650 people spread over two levels and the option of terrace dining with stunning sea views, this is a hugely popular restaurant. Peak times are absolutely nothing to worry about with a free valet parking option. The décor is informal, with intricate Lebanese lanterns and old prints and photographs of a bygone age in Kuwait. The restaurant provides exceptional food at very reasonable prices, with all ingredients being phenomenally fresh.

The appetizers are enough in themselves, from fattoush to hummus, fresh bread straight from the oven, and stuffed pastries. Renowned for their variety of mixed grills dishes, they also offer a unique set of daily specials recommended by the chef. If you have any room left for dessert, make sure to try the Umm Ali (it’s one of our favorites). For Shisha lovers, save yourself a spot on the restaurant’s first floor, and you will love the live oriental Oud Nights on Tuesdays!
