Based on some calculated, sound research amidst a hungry apetite
particularly craving for persian food, yours truly has come to the conclusion
that the retail food landscape of Kuwait offers very limited quality
options for good, satiating Persian
food..or atleast to satisfy my taste buds. Post certain not so satisfying meals
at Sabestan which happens to be one of my favourite Persian places in Kuwait, I
discovered Crimson Garden in Avenues (courtesy of a close family member) and
our association has been hence J Fresh, flavour ful and cooked just to the right time to be satiating and juciy (
a challenge for many retuarents here that overcook the meat), Crimson Garden is
the ultimate choice if your craving persian food. Here’s what we ordered whilst we were there
last weekend on a hunger scale measure of 1-10, 10 being the highest and ours
being 8 J
Drinks order : Water, fresh mango
juice and pop . Request for some lemon
slices/ wedges along with mint leaves and that should give your water an
immediate twist for a drink.
Appetizers order : 3 Adas soup
. This is simply a slice of heaven
..hits the spot instantaenously.
Main course : 1 order of Lambchops ( 6 pieces ) with a side order of fries
with it, 1 order of boneless chicken with a side order of saffron rice. The lambchops
of this place are hands down the best in Kuwait, Ive had so far. Juciy, cooked right
and the right flavours. The boneless chicken is cooked with youghurts and other
herbs. Let me tell you …it’s the best chicken that simply melts in your mouth.
The Good – Regardless of how small our orders may have seemed for a group
of 3 adults, we were very full with what we had..again we were a bunch of
people with a decent sized appetite. Heres the trick with Crimson though..its
probably best to order less, only cause it’s the quality of the food that
somehow I believe just ensure u fill up with less. Also the bread basket which
serves persistent numbers of Irani Khubus along with greens and feta cheese
simply does the job of filling you up pre main course.
The Bad – Im not able to think of any..but the ambience definelty needs a
little bit more sprucing up.
The Affordable - Total damages for
our group of 3 with the above orders was KD 20…which is faboulous for a good quality
persian meal.
I did manage to snap some pictures while gorging down the food so I hope
the pictures do justice to the amazing
food we had.
If you’re at the avenues this weekend, make sure you give it a try. You
wont regret it.
Crimson Garden is located right above Al forno. If you take the escalator
between PF chans (to your left) and Al forno ( to your right) you should spot
it as you go up to your right.
