Food is my gateway into experiencing cultures that I’m unfamiliar with and every now and then, I get to experience something new and lasting. I haven’t really much of an opportunity to experience ‘North African’ cuisine and thanks to my colleague Wagdi, I experienced the Sudanese version of a Nigerian favourite called ‘Tsire’ also known…

I was recently invited by @mytokuzo in Dhahran to try out their menu and I happily accepted considering there are very few Japanese restaurants that I know of in the Sharqiya. Located on Gulf Palace road, I was surprised I hadn’t noticed this place before. We got there just before prayer time and settled in…

It has been a while (3 years) since I last visited @butchershopar and honestly i’m ashamed of myself. The food has always been great and my love affairs with the ‘Butcher Shop & Grill’ goes way back to 2009 when I first visited them at their outlet in Bahrain City Center. Since then, I have…

I’ve heard only good things about “David’s Stir Fry Crazy”, but I never had the opportunity to visit this much talked about joint in Adliya, Bahrain. Thanks to @shergeorge, my local food guide, I finally had the opportunity to grab dinner here. A marvellous atmosphere, well lit but not too bright and very friendly staff,…

It happened again. Sometimes making a decision on where to eat is the hardest of choices one has to make. Driving past Parker’s, I decided to check out the @entertainersa app (Almost always saves the day) and found that I had one more Main Course coupon left for @bigchefsksa. Parking is a little hard to…

Located in the Ulaya district of Khobar, @brisket_sa is one of the many joints that opened up over the last year. Serving up American style BBQ, they have a very simple menu with some burgers, brisket and Ribs. The waiter who took my order wasn’t the friendliest and looked least interested in being there. I…
