Come here for butter chicken – nothing else: Restaurant Persian Garden (11. February 2018)
Somehow I keep coming back to this place and I must say that I keep growing fond of it – as in, it is still nothing spectacular but it is swift and the food is actually quite decent (highly depending on what you order). The “Homos” (1.000 BHD) is decent but a bit too thick […]
The perfect place for shisha – if you’re patient: Gallery 21 (11. February 2018)
The Gallery 21 has become my favourite place – at first because they are among the few places in Bahrain which serve shisha and alcohol. But lately just because the place is cozy, offers good shisha and actually quite tasty teas. However, you have to be quite patient as the actual issue is the speed […]
Lovely outdoor place with Americanized food: Restaurant Café Amsterdam (11. February 2018)
The Café Amsterdam offers a lovely selection of dishes and has quite a nice atmosphere overall. The “quinoa and cauliflower croquettes, served with Romesco sauce” (3.900 BHD) are delicious in flavour. The “deep fried calamari, black lemon mayo” (4.500 BHD) on the other hand are a bit disappointing as the batter is lose and somewhat […]
Butter chicken is highly driven by the butter: Restaurant Persian Garden (8. February 2018)
Somehow the Persian Garden restaurant has upped its food compared to last year. Ultimately, it is better than before but still far off from good. The “salad” which is served complimentary with every meal you order isn’t bad in terms of selection of vegetables served but it lacks sauce, respectively the sauce was only served […]
One of the best in-mall options: Restaurant Wagamama @ Bahrain City Centre (4. – 6. February 2018)
Somehow, we never ended up in the Wagamama until recently. And since then, the visits became more frequent, i.e. almost on a daily basis. The “Tori Kara Age (seasoned crispy chicken pieces, dressed in and served with a spiced sesame and soy sauce)” (3.250 BHD) was good but also rather heavy in terms of flavour […]
When the flagship product is just somewhat disappointing: Restaurant Shake Shack (3. February 2018)
It is quite some time ago since I’ve been to Shake Shack – especially since my last visit didn’t really persuade me. However, given there is just a limited number of options in the mall, I figured I should give it a second try. Frankly, the choice was a bit better this time but it […]
Interesting local Turkish dishes: Restaurant Köşebaşı (30. January 2018)
While I was not persuaded about the humus the last time I was at Köşebaşı in November but as I had forgotten, I still ordered it again. And well, the humus was still as dense as the last time. Not really to my liking. However, the “Pastirmali Humus (home-made humus topped with olive oil and […]
Great dishes but definitely not a vinoteca: Restaurant La Vinoteca Barcelona (29. January 2018)
If a restaurant calls itself ‘Vinoteca’ I expect a broad variety of different wines to pick from. If you also expect that, then don’t go here as the wine selection is rather disappointing (as in small) and the quality of the wines is also not the greatest. You can find a lot of wines on […]
