I have been here a couple of times. The first time I did come here was a few years ago and my experience then was great. However, when i did return, I was surprised with the quality of the food. The taste of the food wasn't that great. The chicken and the rice had been overcooked. However the sushi did make up for it.
Although you can find other Japanese restaurants which are cheaper and do have better food, it is still worth a visit to take in the ambiance as well the show put on in the Teppanyaki room.
We had also asked to be seated in a quieter room. However, we were seated in a room where there was a very loud group.
I have not visited since my last visit so hopefully standards have improved.

Monsoon

Reviewed By jvhkouklia - Manama, Bahrain

The setting and décor of Monsoon is lovely The staff and all very pleasant and friendly too. There were 6 of us for lunch on Friday, we started with prawn tempura, chicken in banana leaves, spring rolls and satay. All beautifully presented and very tasty though I thought the satay rather bland. Then for mains we had rending, prawns with cashewnuts, crispy chicken, beef stir fry Pad Thai noodles and rice, all were fine Then we had a selection of Deserts to finish A pleasant meal but not enough punchy Far East flavours for me, too bland

Bushido Restaurant and Lounge

Reviewed By Chris F

We visited Bushido for the first time and were very impressed. We were a family of two adults and a 10 and 12 year old.
Reception are very quick to respond to questions via email and are extremely polite.
The food in the restaurant was presented beautifully and was very flavoursome. The drinks menu was varied and had a different selection of cocktails.
The decor inside and outside is fabulous, it was a great environment to eat in.
The only negative was that all of us were very cold, the AC was set rather low.
We would certainly visit this restaurant again.

It is the place for the celebration meal, the service staff is great, the ambiance is more contemporary and minimalist. the food is high-quality ingredients and above average in terms of tasty, however, none of that can take away from the overly priced dishes. the price takes away all the fun from a good meal .. by far most expensive restaurant in town

Maki Bahrain

Maki Bahrain is the “crown jewel” of Moda Mall and the World Trade Center in Manama. After a long day shopping the most prestigious brands at the mall, settle at Maki Bahrain for a fine, contemporary Japanese meal. The lounge is ideal for business and private functions, and after-hours unwinding!

Reviewed By Zainab F - Manama, Bahrain

I came here with a number of colleagues for lunch. I liked how varied the menu was, it had nice mouth-watering dishes, but they all were very much overpriced.
Food was served and we all enjoyed it. I think their standards are very high, but no surprise no surprise for an award-winning restaurant.
I won't say this is a must if you are in Bahrain, there are similar restaurants that are far much cheaper.

Eating out once in a while is something both me and Tash my lovely wife look forward to. As a chef I don't mind doing the cooking at home, but hectic work schedule is always a hindrance.
Based in the lovely Gulf Hotel, the Sherlock Holmes pub is a gem of a place. It's kept the tradition of a typical British style pub settings. Stained glass window designs etc.
They provided a sports bar setting for those who enjoy the games or you could just chill by the bar with friends.
The food is traditionally British, including a tasty bangers and mash. Some dished can be pricey like the Lamb racks at a whopping BHD 14.00 (£ 30.00 approximately). But lots of more average priced meals to choose from should budget be a concern.
Drinks are reasonably priced and variety are in abundance.
Great place to hang out with mates.
Drawbacks: this is a smoking environment so if you have issues with smoke you might not like it.
Take that away, great place, friendly , efficient staff and good place to hangout.
