Anybody who’s been to the Arabica coffeeshop in downtown probably noticed an opening soon hoarding across the street for a place called Skinny Fork. It had been under construction for the longest time, at least I noticed it ever since I first started passing by Arabica. Last week it finally opened and I got to pass by yesterday and try it out.
As you can guess from the name its a healthy restaurant. I was with a friend so we ordered a bunch of things including:
Kalafel: kale, chickpea falafel with tahini (KD1.300)
Lentil Tacos: brown lentils, cabbage, raw walnuts, spelt flour tortilla (KD2.500)
Messy Chickpea Burger: chickpea, avocado, homemade cashew sauce, oat bun and sweet potato fries (KD3.750)
Tropical Avo Dip: avocados, mango, lime (800fils)
Everything we had was actually pretty good and priced reasonably well. The place is small and cozy but I wish there was more natural daylight. They’re in their soft launch phase at the moment so their opening hours are bit tight if you’re planning to lunch there in the middle of the week. As of this post they open during the week only from 9AM to 2:30PM, Saturday 10:30AM to 4PM and they’re closed on Friday.
I took a picture of their menu and you can check it [Here] and make sure to check their instagram account for their latest opening hours @skinnyfork

I appreciate that they are not charging 6 KD for vegetarian food
So happy to see healthy restaurants (that serve vegetarian dishes too) are on the rise
I wish restaurants would put caloric estimations on their menus. Would make sense for the self-described healthy joints to start this.
I miss those days when you used to post junk food especially burgers.
