If you’ve ever had a kebab sandwich at one of those shawerma places in Bneid Al Gar then you’re gonna appreciate Raju & Sons which based of the same idea just elevated using better ingredients.
The small restaurant is located in Shuwaikh and is really small, but they have car service which is what I wanted. The menu is composed of 5 different kebab sandwiches, 4 of which are meat and the 5th being chicken. The difference between the various meat options isn’t much, it’s either you want it spicy or not and you either want it with round potatoes or not. I was with a friend so we ordered two spicy kebabs with round potatoes, two normal kebabs, round potatoes on the side to share, and one soft drink. The total came out to KD3.900 (their sandwiches range from 500 to 700 fils).
The round potatos were incredibly crispy, I have no idea how they managed to get them so crispy but I loved them and they’re a more exciting alternative to the usual french fries. The sandwiches were also delicious, I had mine without veggies and the spicy sauce wasn’t that spicy, kinda how the spicy sandwich at Shakir isn’t spicy just more flavorful than the regular tahina sauce. So even if you’re not into spicy that’s the one I would recommend you getting.
Overall I liked it, it wasn’t heavy, it tasted great, it’s reasonably priced and I’d definitely go back. If you want to check the place out, here is the Google Maps link. They’re also only Instagram @rajuandsons_

yes. the reason they are crispy is they have been dipped in some flour before being fried.
I thought for sure they’d be double fried as well
My mom makes them almost every evening…
Well played, now the new Land Cruiser will be smelling of shawarma and potato when you return it.
😅
needed to test out if there was room enough in the car to eat out of 😀
ahahahaha BEST COMMENT EVER !!
I was going to comment : Any you spoiled the Land Cruiser they lend you to test. before I found your comment 😀
Mark’s reply is amazing hahahaha 😀
You should try the fish and chips from the restaurant next to it ( C15 )
There is a fish and chips restaurant there?? 🧐 what’s their Instagram?
It’s Concept’s, the famous guy on snap chat
I just asked, it doesn’t belong to Concept
Is he just managing it then? He posts about it daily on his snapchat. I was assuming that he’s the owner..

Supposedly he has a shop next to it
Without exaggeration, its the best authentic fish & chips you’ll ever taste in Kuwait. I’ve been there about 7 times already and Im already planning on going next week again with my friends.
i checked their menu. no fish and chips ! strange
The fish and chips is available via dine in only. The owner doesn’t want it to be available via delivery so it doesn’t lose its crispy texture because it will be super soggy if it gets delivered. (P.s I know I sound like Im doing an ad for the restaurant but I promise Im not, its just that good ! )
thanks for letting me know. for sure ill go and try them out.. 😀
I will try it for sure.
But, I don’t think it can compete with the OG Bader Badoor in Bneid Al Gar!
They’re demilishing the bader al badoor building soon so they’ll be moving to a new location.
i’m not sure how I feel about that name considering Raju is often used as a derogatory term here for Indians
What if the owner or chef’s name is Raju?…
bruh! raju is a regular Indian name too…
I thinks it’s Rajo not Raju 🙂
If you are wondering about the inapt poster. It is from the famous 1979 bollywood movie called ‘Mr. Natwarlal’ starring Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha. 🙂

Bahahahahahaha “K Johar”.
Yes we Arabs love Amitabh-ji, as much as Indians I’d say.
I love the fact that they put a picture of Rowdy Rathore on the menu.
