Now this happens to be one of the regular breakfast places my family and I frequent at only because we
are perpetually cursed to miss morning breakfast plans and this seems something
close by for us to make it to in an event of delay :)
I personally like this restaurant partly because of
the kind of crowd you get, mix of locals, to visiting airhostesses, armed
forces staff and transit tourists. It kind of feels nice to have an eclectic
mix of customers in a restaurant especially if it is in the hotel premises.
Seems even more refreshing in a place like Kuwait which isn’t as known as a
tourism spot.
Anywho..my drill at breakfast buffets is usually
quite elaborate. Especially at Al Ahmadi restaurant. They have a decent variety
across all items but their fruits and desserts and salad range is very well
endowed. Come to think of it, I wish I had snapped more pictures of the buffet
just to prove my point.
I started off with my usual warm milk with chocos
and moved to my well done fried eggs with French toast, white beans, grilled
mushrooms, a slice of sharp cheddar cheese and some assorted salads (I wasn’t kidding
when I said elaborateJ).
I managed to stuff myself with some light Saj (olive
and cheese only) followed by a mini bite sized steak (I do skip lunch so Im
okay to OD on foodJ)
Now the verdict
The good:
The restaurant ambience in general is simply superb. The kind you would want to
see at a breakfast place. Roomy, big windows overlooking a pleasant sight (in
this case overlooking the spa aqua tonic) and allowing lots of sunlight and
lastly the crowd which like I mentioned is a good mix. Those are some of the
reasons I consider Al Ahmadi restaurant to be one of the best indoor breakfast
places around Kuwait.The food selection is also very good with a wide variety.
The Bad:
My only complaint with the food in general is the fact that I only wish they
should try to mix and change up their buffet selection more often. It would be
refreshing to atleast get 2- 3 new breakfast items on the menu every now and
then to avoid the rut.
The other major complain I continue to have is the
number of papers. Im the kind of person who likes a newspaper over breakfast or
some reading material all together. For some conspired reason or coincidence I
seem to never be able to get a copy for myself. Which should mean they need to
start having more copies on their shelves.
The Affordable: The damage / head for the buffet is KD 6.75 which is considerably
increased over the past 2 years from KD 5.95 which I’m guessing is due to the
fact that they are trying to be more competitively priced. Nevertheless, I feel
its more on the pricier end. But what the hell, I keep going anyway because of
the good that I mentioned.
It’s defiantly worth a try so make sure you give it
a go this weekend of next.
