Mango soft serve is all the rage right now (well every summer) so I decided to try three of the most popular ones and do a comparison. Here are the results:
#1 Press ( Starting from 950 fils)
Taste: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Looks: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Price: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Overall: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
#2 Pick (Starting from 600 fils)
Taste: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Looks: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Price: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Overall: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
#3 Ananas (KD2.450)
Taste: ⭐⭐⭐
Looks: ⭐⭐⭐
Price: ⭐⭐
Overall: ⭐⭐⭐
A few months ago during Ramadan I was driving by the Press location in the city and noticed a long queue out the door. So I called up a friend and asked them why that was and they told me it’s because of their mango soft serve. I ended up trying it a few weeks later and I’ve been hooked on it ever since. From the three soft serves above, the Press one tasted the closest to an actual mango which is why it’s my favorite of the bunch. Pick on the other hand which is usually my goto soft serve place came second for me even though their mango soft serve is really great, it’s just that Press set the bar pretty high on this one. Finally in third place it’s Ananas, their soft serve tasted the most creamy-ish and the least fruity, even though it came with actual mango pieces and mango syrup all over it
What’s your favorite mango soft serve in Kuwait? Also what else do you want me to compare? Best burgers? Best car wash? Give me some ideas.

Best burgers and fried chicken please 🙂
Best car wash, puh-leeeze!

If the car is old, no car wash will fix it.

PRESS is overrated. Blue Brothers at Arraya Floor 1 is the best I think, give it a try.
I saw Blue Brothers but didn’t know they had mango soft serve. Will have to give them a try
Just tried Blue Brothers, not better than pick and press, and I don’t think as good as ananas either. Flavor wasn’t really there and it was too solid as a texture. Plus smallest size is 1.750
The Mango at Press is indeed great.
What about best pizzas? It’s hard to find a decent pizza tbh
Solo? Pinochios? We got some pretty good pizza here. Need a third place to compare to though. Maybe Spotini? I like their pizza.
not a fan of pizza but spontini margherita is definitely one of the best i ever had.
Scacco Matto Pizzeria. For me it dethroned Solo.
Will google it now
Looks like they closed down based on their Instagram account (check comments of last post)
WHAAAT! FML
In retrospect, they didn’t have the smartest location, although I liked the fact that it didn’t open in a stupid place like Shuwaikh.
San Marc, Boulevard Park.
Having it now as I type this, both solo and Pinocchio’s make a way better pizza

Best pizza is what you should compare!
That’ll be a fun read
Hmh.. I just remember the best mango soft serves to be back when I was just a lil kid, that was before or after the invasion i guess… There used to be a local arab shwerma restaurant in Keifan coop. They were the only ones I knew that had an ice cream machine that served vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, mango or mix. That too within 250 fils only. Wait, they even had the vimto but not in the machine cuz it used to be ice lolly kinda serve, not soft & creamy. The mango vanilla mix cone was my favorite as a kid. They don’t even provide it at Shuwaikh KDD no idea why. I miss it.. Miss my childhood days in Keifan. Always wondered why they closed or where they must’ve moved the resto…
2.450 KD with these other great options for almost a fraction of that price?! Ananas needs to take another look at that price.
I prefer Pick… Press is too sweet for my taste..
Didn’t try Ananas but seems expensive..
We need “best burger” “best chicken fillet sandwich” “best pizza”
Best fatayer , best mushakkal sandwich, best masala dosa, best thali, best sushi, best steak
Best..

Best New York Pizza please.
While not NY style, but The Cheesecake Factory surprisingly has a good American style Pizza.
You already have a best burger challenge that ended on a cliffhanger a decade ago. Maybe its time for a special revival/miniseries to wrap it up 😂
Hahahahaha
I think you should make it a Top 5 instead of just three? And maybe put into factor if it’s an authentic dish or a modern twist, things like that. Just IMO!
Also Pick’s is the bessssst!
I think it’s about time for a top burger reevaluation, and a top shawarma revisit.
What r the good Shawerma places now? I’m kinda out of the loop but have been doing Shakir a lot recently.
Consider Shawarma factory – the saj ones not the doner. Also the saj shawarma from Mais Al-Sham is great
For me, Shawarma Shuwaikh always hits the spot. They have old school sammoon shawarma, and new and fancy stuff with sauces and ingredients.
Do a hidden gems of Kuwait series. I know you have many places in mind and would do a great job.
Have you tried https://www.talabat.com/kuwait/texture , they claim in their instagram that they are the only one who serve pure mango and nothing else.
Loving this new comparison thing. Keep it up! xD
Best car wash/detailing
Best pizza
Can we please get a TOP 10 Shawarma places list!!?
Best sushi/Japanese places in Kuwait (something more authentic and not mayo filled deep fried stuff)
Karak Mark, You’ve done all the other eateries and there are lots of options for coffee. But tea, no one knows where to get an amazing saffron or cardamom chai for a reasonable price.
Best Buffet place please, with live cooking station
How about good southern fried chicken, best crispy chicken wings and a good unbaked cheesecake?!… or just cheesecake in general.
+1 for the southern fried chicken!
1. Best coffee beans to grind at home (arabica, caribou, the coffee bean…)
2. Best male gym with parking facilities (champion jabriya, platinum sea location…..)
3. Best urban areas for a walk
4. Best new residential area from public welfare housing (mutlaa, area near the airport…)
5. Best Place to buy fruits and veggies for my lovely juicer and maybe some easy recipes (would highly appreciate)
6. Best Healthy Food restaurant or program
7. Best restaurant with high kitchen hygiene (this is a must as we all think about it before ordering)
Why not create an app for these sort of lists based on community ratings.
I think PICK have the best mango flavor and price where you can taste the mango !,
not like press tasted like KDD mango juice.
A list of affordable restaurants/salons/shops for people whose salary is less than 500 KD. 😬
I’d appreciate it because most of these restaurants and other places that people talk about here are like luxury for me.
BEST SHAWARMA
