GQ Magazine published an article yesterday on places to eat in Kuwait put together by Chef Faisal Al Nashmi. The list includes Habra, Al-Shimam, Oak & Smoke, BBT and Tampopo. It got me thinking about what places I’d recommend nowadays and other than some of the ones already mentioned in the article, I struggled to think of more. I think I would add the following:
Cardamon Club, Cocoa Room, Ora, San Ristorante, and White Robata.
For the past year, I haven’t been going out to restaurants as much when I used to frequent Cocoa Room and White Robata for example at least once a week before the pandemic. It’s also why I haven’t posted about anything new in ages, I just don’t feel like it right now. Even Cocoa Room and White Robata which I love and used to frequent on a weekly basis, since the pandemic started I’ve only been back to Cocoa Room once and I haven’t been back to White Robata yet. The only place I seem to frequent often is BBT since I get to eat out of my car, but the rest of the time I’m just ordering delivery.
If you have places you think should be on the list mention it in the comment, to check out the GQ article click here.

Cocoa room remains my favourite restaurant in kuwait.
Coucou is my 2nd, breakfast only tho.
Lunch room as well.
I’m yet to try habra.
Can you post on recommended tv shows, please?
Coucou closed down like a year ago or more I think. They’re only delivery based now.
If you want a great show to watch then I highly recommend The Mandalorian, binged watched it last week and loved it!
Done that, twice 🙂
I’m watching the Shield right now.
Very simplistic pleasures, but given the lack of safe/accessible travel at the moment and missing different cuisines, I’m enjoying travelling vicariously with “Somebody Feed Phil”.
I love Phil
Shame that because of conflict of interest, Faisal couldn’t list his own restaurants which also definitely belong on this list.
Sidenote: Glad The Social Table did not make it onto this list.
How come? I heard the social table was good
I would recommend Naranj, great food, atmosphere, and spacious
Al Marsa
Pattaya Thai (if they ever come back)
Fahad restaurant in Mubarakiya
Mark, would you consider running a poll where everyone could vote for their favorite restaurants?
It could be a yearly thing with multiple categories like the ones given below :
Cuisine (Lebanese, Indian, Kuwaiti, Thai, etc.)
Type (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Mid-night Cravings, etc)
Concept (Local, franchise, etc.)
hmmm interesting
