OUR THEME

On our first event we will have a classy high-end restaurant theme, where we invite 20-24 restaurants to participate. This will give our visitors the chance to taste the wonderful dishes of some of Kuwait's finest restaurants in one place!

Taste of Kuwait is to be an annual event where different restaurants from Kuwait get together to introduce new recipes and a wide variety of different delicious tapas from their menu. By attending our venue, the customer gets the chance to taste a variety of different cuisines in one location! Our location for the first event will be a 2,400 m² venue on AlSafir International’s land (Bneid Al Gar Area) right on the Gulf Rd. The venue will host restaurants that are Kuwaiti-based (therefore no franchises allowed), with preference to unique and niche restaurants operated by Kuwaiti chefs and/or managers.

Restaurants that have been operational for more than 18 months have to provide dishes that are not on their menu. Restaurants that have been operational for 18 months or less will be encouraged to develop new dishes to introduce in this venue, but are not obliged to.

Our visitors will have the option to make reservations ahead of time (reservations will be open around a month in advance) to ensure a place in our venue; walk-ins and last-minute reservation will be accommodated based on availability. A table will be prepared for our visitors and their party upon their arrival. All dishes will be listed in a menu indicating what dish belongs to which restaurant. Prices on our menu will not exceed KD 2 per dish. The guest will be able to select his choice of numerous dishes; however a minimum charge per person will be applied. At the end of the experience, each guest will be gifted an event bag that will include a “goody item” such as a couple of cookies or a cupcake from participating bakeries as well as literature from our sponsors, a coupon booklet designed by us for all sponsors and participating companies, and much more.

In the end, Taste of Kuwait is going to offer locals and tourists a unique experience they will remember and keep coming back for in future venues!

LWDLIK update..Just booked my table, there is a KD 1.500 entrance fee and a minimum order of KD 5. The yummy menu is on the website.

  1. Hey Kim! thanks for writing about us! :) It's great seeing that people are excited about the event! :D

    Just a small clarification. The dishes are a MAX of 2 KD... most of them are less :) things that could reach 2 KD are seafood dishes for instance. So technically you could enjoy 3 dishes for less than 6 KD :)
