Yesterday while at the Avenues with Nataly and a friend we decided to pass by D*lush and pick up a milkshake. D*lush is an American beverage joint which recently opened their first branch at the Avenues and hopefully will open up more branches soon.
I ordered the Sassy B which is a strawberry and banana shake, my friend ordered the Cookies + Cream which is an oreo cookie shake and finally Nat ordered the Lemon Lush which is a frozen lemonade.
My favorite milkshake is the strawberry shake at Johnny Rockets and so far the D*lush shakes are ask good if not better. Firstly they have a much larger collection then Johnny Rockets which makes sense since D*lush is dedicated to drinks while Johnny is a burger joint. The shakes themselves also taste extremely good, the Cookies + Cream which I tried from my friend is probably going to be my favorite milkshake from now on. Even my Sassy B was really good and I am glad they were actually sampling it out at the store in small shot glasses because otherwise I might have stuck to ordering the regular strawberry shake. I found Nat’s lemonade very sour but she was really happy with it.
The only negatives I could think of are the price of the drinks and the lack of sizes. The shakes are priced at KD1.750 or KD1.850 depending on what you order. Thats more expensive then the largest sized chocolate cream frappucino at Starbucks. They should offer a smaller sized cup priced at under KD1.400. On the other hand Nat’s frozen lemonade was for KD1.100 which isn’t bad at all considering the size.
Final score is a 4 out of 5. The shakes are awesome, they have a good variety so it should take you a while to get bored and the service was very friendly and fast. The negatives are basically the lack of drink size options and the price which is kinda related to the size problem.

:: Same here, big fan of strawberry from Rockets
I sort of felt sorry for their location… but I guess when Phase 2 opens it won’t feel as bad
wow…Kuwait now is one of the most important country in the whole world for brands and franchises company. It’s almost the only country that has all brands and franchised stores and restaurants, more than any other country in the world.
God..I love that country
Good luck
gotta love some of the names they give the drinks:
“VaVa Balls”
“Cherry POP”
“Club D–Wanna Quickie?” this is their promo card i guess
Ya i know…gotta take my mind outa the gutter 🙂
I’ve tried the samples they offer for taste (which I guess is Cookie and Cream…or not :D?) indeed it was very tasty, probably going to have one on my next avenues visit.

Actually the location isn’t bad especially for those who pass the mall for Carrefour, since its by the entrance and can always have a drink there before/after the shopping, anyway as you said it should be more attractive location once phase 2 is done.
Oh and btw I’m am the only one who always thought that place was women make-up store until I got offered a sample drink xD
cool
i ordered the hot chocolate with melted marshmallow ya salaaaam ;O
do they have chocolate malts? malt>regular shake

Man…I better check the Avenues when I come back. Seems there are some interesting stuff there.

food is coming soon inshallah!!
I tried the sample which tasted like Oreos.. and I love Oreos. I’m defenitly getting it next time im at the aveneus.
do they have custard shakes?
the craze about international brands must stop!! people think its glamorous and that its a sign of prosperity that int. brands open up in our countries but actually this destroys our local business, we should learn from places like Quebec who continue to support local businesses over international ones.
Local business are still striving .. I don’t know of any gahwa’s or juice stores that have closed down due to international brands .. different products for different people.
actually that’s one cool thing about kwt, local businesses stay mysteriously open no matter how tiny and shitty they are and even if they generate no visible income.
i guess they selling selling visas and laundering money or something heh.
Anyone ever had a cookies and cream milkshake at Steak and Shake back in the USA? So good!
I tried their SaSSy B…. V. Nice but the glass thing was too big… my wife and i had to share it and it still lasted until dinner time…
Love their boba drinks 😛
They have another store opened between Fanar and Bustan mall in salmiya
