Yesterday while leaving Sultan Center Shaab I ran into my friends mum outside. While talking to her she offered me some gluten free zaatar fatayer which she had just purchased. Even though I had just had lunch and wasn’t hungry, I took one and headed to my car. While driving off I started eating the zaatar and right away there was something different about it, it had a slight sweet taste to it and I loved it. So I sent her a message on whatsapp asking her where she got it from, I figured I could pick some up on my way home.
I was nearly home and she still hadn’t responded so I decided to call her up instead. Turns out she bought them from inside Sultan Center Shaab at JS & Buttercup which recently opened there. So even though I had just had lunch and even though I had left Sultan already and I was nearly home, I turned around and headed back again to buy some fatayer, thats how good they were.
The place is located on the left side when you first walk into Sultan Center Shaab. Turns out they only sell the zaatar in boxes of 30 pieces for KD12 but they were willing to sell me a box of 15 for KD6. I didn’t want 15 but in the end I decided to buy them and head over to my dads place and share them with him. They’re the most expensive zaatar fatayer I’ve had but they’re also the most delicious ones I’ve had. They’re also gluten free for those of you who care (I don’t). If you’re interested, here is a link to their instagram account @js.buttercup
PS: Turns out they naturally sweeten the fatayer with dates.

Eating while driving… not good!
Saveco has a pretty good bakery that does breads, pizzas and fatayer with options for a variety of doughs, whole grain, brown , etc.
yeah, all supermarkets have bakeries, i was just highlighting the BEST tasting fatayer EVER
It is silly that they only sell the zaatar in boxes of 30 pieces. 15 pieces is too much as well.
I agree but mostly because I don’t want to pay KD6 every time I’m craving fatayer
That’s expensive zaatar.
That’s some REALLY Expensive fatayer.
it cost as much as my sushi lunch
You’re kash5a.
i meant its so expensive it cost as much as my sushi lunch
What did you think of the Viet Nom thing
which one, the community table or the let’s barba one?
Are they two different things? Only aware of the Barba one
Yup they were two different things
I am absolutely loving that Kuwait is very slowly but surely becoming increasingly gluten free friendly. Thanks for the heads up!!!
I agree, can’t imagine having the disease and never having bread.
Gluten is the best fucking thing in the world.

thats gmaps address better than giving direction, I didn’t try reef but I think in terms of zatar the one I gave the location is better.

side note:
also if you want also a yummy ( mana2eesh ) Beirut Bakery is very yummy it’s like your in Lebanon ( kteer tayeb )the man2oshet jbnah is very good, also the za3tar.
but try the one in gmaps first.
That is against Palestinian constitution Article 3 Section 11 Clause 42: Thy Za’tar shall be free and for all.
Tried them… pretty damn good!
