With exceptional gastronomy and an unsurpassed live entertainment programme featuring renowned Lebanese singers alongside time-honoured belly dancing routines, it's no wonder that Zahle has become a firm favourite for many of the Gulf Hotel's residents. T

We visited Zahle restaurant during our stay at the Gulf Hotel. We both love middle eastern food so were looking forward to it very much. There is a very varied menu and we were asked if we wished to stay for the entertainment later (singers and belly dancer) and if we did we could choose from the set menus. We decided to stay and chose the second of three set menus. A word of warning, the food just keeps coming and coming...... There was easily enough to feed four and we were very disappointed we couldn't finish it all. Having said that, the food was lovely. Very tasty and fresh. The singing and dancing later on was just a novelty, a bit of fun which made it a bit different to a normal restaurant. Worth a try but if you want one of the set menus, you better have your appetite with you!!

I can highly recommend this place, we had a fantastic time there. It was a little cooler that evening, but they had outdoor heaters at the ready. The ambience is pretty unique, the service friendly and professional and the food was very good indeed â in fact the veal steak was excellent. On top of that, there was a great live band playing. A perfect night out.Dear CharlesWe are delighted to receive your 5 star review and sincerely wish to continue meeting your expectations on your next visit. See you again soon

Went to areesh after reading some good reviews. Staff was welcoming and nice. We ordered some basics like kibbeh, shish tawook, hummus etc etc along with some ice tea(orange and peach).Unfortunately the food flavour was not justified when it came to the bill.For instance there was nothing different in the so called orange and peach/lime ice tea. One couldnât really figure out the orange in it ! The bread was fresh and soft. But apart from that nothing exceptional.So if I were to rate it against value for money - then extremely disappointing.Similar or (even better) food is available at much lower costs. Ofcourse the amwaj lagoon atmosphere adds to it but nothing exceptional.Not sure if I would I be visiting it again.

This is probably THE best restaurant in Bahrain! Almost anything you order will be amazing and the price is very reasonable! The cocoa salad, lahina, Swahili, chili chicken, and peach ice tea are some of my favorites. The service isnât that good though, and the waiters are usually not friendly and thatâs the only reason it doesnât get 5 stars. It is small and gets very very busy, so expect to wait 45 mins for a table, unless you go at off peak times.

I had dinner with my colleagues, The menu was perfect, something for everyone. The food was absolutely wonderful, from preparation to presentation, very pleasing. It seems to be chosen by several parts of the world but without missing the authenticity. The grilled octopus and lobster gratin were impeccable, as well as the seafood pizza all the food that we had were fresh, properly prepared and a great value for the price. Service staff were very helpful and friendly too. Had a terrific dinner overall.Sure we will come back ..

Its our first review after the renovation of Baharat.The food is good as usual. Chief Ahmed Salem has a magical touch for anything he prepares.I consider Baharat among the other good hotelsâ restaurants that offer a seafood theme night.Its pricey compared to others.On the buffet side They offer wide range of different dishes.Unfortunately, the Salmon was a bit cold and the some of the dishes needed refills.Personally, i didnât like the beef but maybe it is a matter of personal taste.I would suggest they offer chicken for people who would love to enjoy a nice place and company but they donât eat seafood due to allergic issues. The chicken is missing ! Plus, i would suggest they offer different dishes every week on the buffet. It would make them stand between the others.Baharat is worth a visit. And maybe a revisit after few months.Enjoy!Dear Abdullak918,Thank you for taking time to give us your feedback about your last visit, we certainly take our guests comments seriously and know that we looking forward fulfill your requirement for your next visit. We look forward to changing your overall opinion in the not so distant future. Kind Regards,Vinoth Sivalingam, Baharat Restaurant Manager
