Assaha Restaurant

Built to resemble an old Kuwaiti villa, Assaha is an atmospheric place to eat. The stone arches, snugs, majlis (reception room) area, tiled floors and antiques provide an experience that's hard to find in the modern Gulf. The food's impressive too, with top mezze, grilled meats and seafood, salads, and even Iraqi specialities. It's just across the corniche near Le Royal hotel.

It's hugely popular on weekends, when locals come for the very reasonable Middle Eastern breakfast buffet (KD3.25). It is just an amazing place to be with a cozy traditional ambience, which takes you out of the busy concrete jungle offering lovely food served by caring staff. The fine arrangements here renders the typical feel of being in a traditional village in Lebanon. The buffet breakfast served here is a 'must try' for all.

What's more, the decor and fantastic architecture, make it a great place to spend the night, enjoying a shisha after dinner over a mint tea, and chatting with a pal.
