Nestled within the Four Seasons Bahrain Bay, CUT by Wolfgang Puck is a chic and contemporary American steakhouse that offers an innovative blend of culinary expertise, top-notch service, and modern design. The restaurant's menu showcases an extensive array of high-quality beef selections, including prime dry- and wet-aged beef, as well as premium shellfish and whole fresh fish.
CUT is hands down one of my favorite restaurants, and I would easily rate it 5 out of 5! The ambience is absolutely beautiful—very elegant and upscale, with a cozy and welcoming vibe. It’s located in the Four Seasons Hotel, and from the moment you walk in, the staff and service are exceptional: friendly, attentive, and always professional.
I’ve visited several times, and this recent visit was another amazing experience. We ordered the black bass with saffron risotto, which is one of my all-time favorite dishes. The risotto has a unique and delicious twist—rich and flavorful. I personally like my fish a bit lemony, so I usually ask for a touch of lemon on top, and it pairs perfectly.
We also had the mac & cheese—absolutely delicious but very rich, so keep in mind that the portion can easily serve 2–3 people. Another favorite is the butter lettuce salad. We sometimes substitute the goat cheese with Philadelphia cream cheese, which the kitchen is always happy to accommodate.
I’ve also had their filet mignon, cooked medium-well, and it’s consistently tender and flavorful—especially with the pepper sauce. The French fries are also a must-try—crispy, perfectly seasoned, and one of their best sides.
To drink, we had the Leche—a summery, refreshing cocktail with berry and strawberry notes. It’s light and perfect to balance out the richer dishes.
For dessert, we had the dark chocolate soufflé, which is always a standout—rich, indulgent, and perfectly done. This time, the team also treated me to their new ice cream bar on the house, as a kind gesture since I’m a regular. It was a lovely surprise! The ice cream bar reminds me of a gourmet Snickers—rich, a bit heavy, but definitely worth a try if you’re into decadent desserts.
Overall, the experience at CUT is consistently excellent. The food, the ambiance, and especially the warm and attentive staff make it a standout dining destination. Highly recommended!

I got to dine at CUT last year, and let me tell you—the service and ambiance were absolutely top-notch! However, the dishes we picked didn’t quite hit the mark, I was hoping for a more flavorful experience. That said, I’m definitely going back to try different options and give it another shot. Overall, I’d still recommend visiting CUT at least once—it’s an experience worth having!
Came for a birthday dinner, I was wowed by the fantastic food and excellent service. Great flavors and wonderful selection. The staff were very welcoming and helpful, especially our waiter Julius, who was very attentive and even offered us a selection of dessert (The baked Alaska was delicious) based on our preferences. Definitely will visit again.
Everyone knows about CUT at the Four Seasons where you can find a good Friday brunch and a solid lunch/dinner. But did you know about CUT's Chef's Table Experience?
Attending a Chef's Table Experience is a perfect way to celebrate something, whether it is some type of life milestone achievement or you just feel like going to treat yourself to something special just because. You have to make reservations ahead of time and you'll be seated in the kitchen for the entirety of your dinner. They offer wine or non-alcoholic beverage pairings with each course.
Since the kitchen dining experience is tailor-made to your tastes and preferences, you can email/call and provide to their culinary team whatever your food and drink flavor profiles/favorites are (to include special wine requests). Try not to be too specific so that the culinary team can use their creative skills to come up with something really unique and special.
During your dinner, you'll see the culinary team cook your multi-course meal. You won't know what each course is until it comes out (for the element of surprise!) but at the end of the experience you'll get a menu for keepsake of all the courses you had that evening. You'll also be taken care of by the sommelier for the duration of the meal, with wine presentations that match your flavor preferences.
Special thanks to Chef Krishna and his amazing team and Sommelier Gokul for presenting food/wine that matched perfectly to our preferences! It was a truly unforgettable experience!
Attire: Smart Casual
Chef's Table reservations available only during the week since during weekends, the kitchen gets hectic with the regular customers in the normal dining area and the team there won't be able to provide the attention your group deserves!
We got ricotta bolognese, philadelphia cheesesteak, mac and cheese, and ribeye. What rly stood out was the mac and cheese and their complimentary cheese bread! both were incredibly flavorful. The only slight letdown was the cheesesteak, seemed to have less beff compared to what i saw in some google reviews. But overall everything tasted great! And the staff were v accommodating. The chef also gave us small treats before we left🫰🏼
Despite the big name attached to the restaurant and the glowing reviews, I found the experience underwhelming. The food, in my opinion, didn’t live up to the hype—both in terms of quality and flavor, same goes for the service. Sometimes a name isn’t enough.
Love it
The ribeye steak is to die for, very delicious. But the presentation is bad haha no garnish at all. We ordered also mushroom something on the sides very delicious. The complementary bread and something else which has potato inside very delicious. Love this place will definitely come back for it . We ordered two mocktails and two stakes and costa is around 120 bd . But worth it
Everything tasted amazing! Had an amazing anniversary dinner ♥️

Asian restaurant
Monsoon offers a serene outdoor dining experience with Balinese architecture, an ornate pond, and pagodas that create a tranquil atmosphere. The restaurant is known for its Far Eastern cuisine blending Thai, Japanese, and Vietnamese dishes. Inspired by the Thai-influenced Bali Palace, Monsoon's interior design and menu provide an unforgettable Pan-Asian dining experience. The restaurant pays tribute to the cuisines of Southeast Asia in a luxurious setting with excellent service.
We had an amazing birthday dinner at Monsoon! The parking situation was a big plus, especially with how busy the Adliya area can get.
From making the reservation to enjoying our meal, everything was smooth and quick. The staff were friendly and very accommodating. A special thank you to their manager, Mr. Mart, for his kindness and for checking in with us to make sure we were enjoying everything.
The food was delicious—especially the Tom Yum Soup and Mango Sticky Rice. Definitely some of the best we've had! Highly recommend giving them a try!

I had the pleasure of dining at Mansoon, and it was nothing short of fantastic. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth and attentiveness. The service was truly outstanding—every staff member was friendly, professional, and went above and beyond to ensure a wonderful experience.
Now, let’s talk about the food—absolutely **super super delicious**! Every dish was a masterpiece, bursting with flavor and perfectly prepared. You can tell that a lot of care and expertise goes into crafting each plate, making every bite an absolute delight.
The atmosphere added the final touch to an exceptional experience. It was **super good and comfy**, creating the perfect setting to enjoy a great meal. Whether you're looking for a relaxed evening or a cozy spot for a gathering, this place delivers.
If you're searching for a restaurant that excels in food, service, and ambiance, look no further than Monsoon. I’ll definitely be coming back for more!
This restaurant offers an incredible dining atmosphere, the decor is stunning and feels genuinely authentic. However, getting in can be a bit of a hassle. Parking is very limited, and it was quite tight maneuvering into the space, especially with a security guard walking in front of our car rather unprofessionally. Once inside though, the experience improved dramatically. The customer service was phenomenal, and the food presentation was beautiful. We couldn’t sit outside due to the heat, but it looked like a lovely area. Our favourite dishes were the brioche prawns and Tom Kha soup to start, and the mango sticky rice for dessert. While we asked for spicy food, it came out very mild, definitely ask them to really turn up the heat if that’s your preference. The final bill was £112 for 2 starters, 3 mains, dessert, and water, reasonable considering the generous portion sizes and quality of the meal.
Monsoon is a walled off restaurant with a courtyard, parking lot and interior moat. This place drips in presentation everything from the decor, to the food, to the uniforms was well presented. The food is delightful I had one of the green curry and my table had a beef dish. Everyone really enjoyed their food, only derogatory is the pricing is higher than normal.
Monsoon is a beautifully themed Asian restaurant with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The sushi I had was absolutely amazing fresh and full of flavor. The salad with crab on top was a definite highlight, easily a 10/10. The dumplings were average, and the sweet noodles didn’t quite meet expectations. However, the overall experience was enjoyable, and the friendly, welcoming staff added to it. I would recommend giving Monsoon a try if you’re in the mood for Asian cuisine.
The atmosphere is good. Though is a little pricey but worth a try. Our waitress Rose gave us great service, patiencely serve and fulfill our request. Sharing some photos for your reference, Total bill came out to be around 80BHD for all foods displayed.
I've been a regular at Monsoon Restaurant since January 2001, and it has never let me down whether dining solo or with a group.
The place has maintained its pleasant and relaxing atmosphere, while offering authentic Thai cuisine subtly infused to suit Gulf tastes. Over the past 24 years, the warm hospitality from the staff has remained outstanding; a clear reflection of strong and consistent management. On our recent visit, Geline looked after us and she was amazing; friendly, responsive, fast, and always with a great smile.
Every dish stands out, but the Tom Yum Creamy Soup is truly the best I’ve ever had. The Khao Pad Sapparod (pineapple fried rice with prawns) is phenomenal; balanced, flavorful, and beautifully presented.
Prices are slightly on the high side, but absolutely worth it for the quality, ambiance, and service.
A unique and memorable experience 🙂🙂🙂
This place truly transported me — it felt like I was traveling somewhere in Asia. The atmosphere was beautiful and full of character. I really appreciated how much attention they put into everything — from the service to the food, everything was excellent. It’s the kind of spot that stays with you⭐️

The food was delicious, every dish full of flavor and beautifully presented. But the highlight of the evening, and an absolute must try, is the Thai Green Seafood Curry it’s rich, flavorful, and simply unforgettable.

Very smart venue at the Four Seasons Hotel. 50th floor means great panoramic views over water and the Manama skyline. Good selection of various Asian dishes. Top-notch sushi.
We celebrated my husband’s birthday at Re Asia, and it was an unforgettable experience. The quality of the food was outstanding—each dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The staff went above and beyond to make the evening special, offering thoughtful touches that made us feel truly celebrated. The elegant atmosphere, combined with stunning views, created the perfect setting for a memorable night. Re Asia is ideal for special occasions, and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate. Highly recommended for anyone looking to make a meaningful event even more special
As a authentic Chinese, I am normally very skeptical for Asian restaurants outside Asian. So I have waited for 4 years to gather my gut to try this restaurant. What should I say?! I have regretted for having missed 4 years for it. This is really a good restaurant serving delicious inspiring Asian style food with friendly cozy service! The veggies in the duck salad were soooo crisp and fresh that I guarantee you feel like rarely experience such a good quality. The Thai curry tasted so vividly flavored and seafood tasted tender and fresh. Try their dumplings platter. You won’t regret.
💫 Dinner with a view—and a vibe! Celebrated early wins with our powerhouse Tender team at re Asian Cuisine, and what a night. First time dining luxe in Bahrain, and this place delivered: flawless flavors, sleek ambiance, and a team that made us feel right at home. The skyline view? Stunning. The beats? Perfectly timed. Not just a dinner—a moment. Already eyeing our next visit.
One of the best Asian restaurants not just in Bahrain, but I’d argue from the places I’ve been and my own personal experiences, a rare gem across the world. High Degrees of Personalization ✅ Exceptional Service ✅ Delicious Food ✅ Friendly Hospitality ✅ Live DJ (with fitting sounds I might add) ✅ Amazing Views ✅ Upscale Ambiance ✅ Lounge and Bar ✅, this restaurant will leave you with one of the best memories you’ll have of eating out.
Re Asian at the Four Seasons is a fantastic dining experience. The atmosphere is elegant with amazing views, and the service is attentive yet relaxed. The food was excellent—especially the crispy rice, which was the best dish we ordered. It is slightly on the expensive side, but worth it for the quality, taste, and overall experience. Highly recommended.
We had an incredible dining experience. From start to finish, the service was impeccable. A special thank you to Phariz, who was not only exceptionally kind but also incredibly knowledgeable. He went above and beyond to ensure our First anniversary was perfect. We can't wait to come back!

The Orangery is a charming tea room and patisserie situated within the Palace Boutique Hotel & The Avenues Mall in Bahrain. Its ambiance evokes the feeling of being in an English garden, complete with landscaped gardens, water features, and a luxurious terraced dining area. The menu reflects traditional English tea room influences with a Middle Eastern twist. With its elegant floral interior and colonial flair, it offers a delightful setting for enjoying breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
I first discovered this place nearly five years ago when a client invited me for a breakfast meeting. Since then, it has remained one of my favorite choices whenever friends ask for a cozy dining spot. As someone who loves nature and European-inspired spaces, I truly enjoy the atmosphere.
What truly sets this place apart is the outstanding customer service. Let me highlight my recent visit with a friend and her son, we were warmly welcomed by Carla, I believe she is a supervisor, whose attentiveness and genuine hospitality made us feel right at home. Along with her, who served our food was Jerome who was very cheerful, friendly, and accommodating too, turning our simple visit into a delightful and memorable experience.
I truly appreciate the consistency this place has shown over the years from the food, to the ambiance, to the people who make every visit special. With warm staff like Carla and Jerome, I can confidently say this spot will always be worth coming back to.

I discovered this place on my last day and made a super quick visit. I only tried the cake and coffee, but both were absolutely delicious! Definitely worth it, and I’ll come back to try more next time.
Had a great experience at The Orangery Restaurant in Bahrain. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. The service was excellent — attentive, friendly, and professional. The ambiance is elegant and relaxing, perfect for both casual dining and special occasions. Prices are on the higher side, but definitely worth it for the quality, taste, and overall experience. Highly recommended!
I had the pleasure of dining at The Orangery in Bahrain, and I can confidently say it was one of the most delightful restaurant experiences I’ve had in a long time. From the moment I walked in, the ambiance transported me—elegant, calming, and beautifully designed, with attention to every detail. The atmosphere strikes a perfect balance between cozy and refined, making it ideal for both casual meetups and special occasions.
What truly elevated the experience, however, was the outstanding service. I want to specifically mention Hassania, who was incredibly warm, attentive, and professional throughout the visit. Her friendly demeanor and thoughtful approach made me feel genuinely welcomed. She managed everything with grace and ensured everything ran smoothly, always with a smile. It’s rare to encounter someone who so naturally enhances the dining experience.
The Orangery’s culinary offerings are clearly crafted with care, and the presentation is just as impressive as the flavors. Every element—from the decor to the tea selection—shows the team’s commitment to excellence. I didn’t feel rushed at any point, and the relaxed yet sophisticated vibe made it easy to unwind and enjoy every moment.
Lovely place and staff. The food was great we went couple of times even though I don’t live in Bahrain. The mac and cheese was lovely, hummus was good and the shish barak was delicious.
I had a wonderful breakfast experience today! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Everyone was smiling and the ambience was very pleasant.
A special shoutout to Mary Jane, who served us with such kindness and professionalism—always with a smile. The food was absolutely delicious and of great quality. Everything was just perfect.
Highly recommended, and I’ll definitely be coming back again inshallah
We had breakfast at The Orangery, and it was such a lovely experience!
The omelet was really delicious — they even added some spinach for me, which made it perfect.
Mary Jane, who took our order, was incredibly sweet, friendly, and full of positive energy. She made us feel so comfortable and truly added warmth to the whole experience.
Definitely a place I’d come back to! 🍊🧡🧡
the atmosphere was lovely,, theres a beautiful fountain and we visited during the day, so it was pleasantly cool. The hummus was tasty, the maneesh wasn’t anything extraordinary, it was still decent. The chocolate cake was genuinely good, though the surprise was unfortunately spoiled when a staff member asked my friend which cake she had ordered, even though she had already pointed it out before we were seated. Still, the staff were overall very friendly and welcoming.

Nestled on the island, Thailand Restaurant is a culinary gem that promises an authentic Thai dining experience.

With a variety of seating options available—both indoors and outdoors—you can enjoy your meal in a setting that suits your mood.

My favourite Thai restaurant in Bahrain. Been going here for ages. Funnily enough I always love taking the Thai green curry spicy and vegetable fried rice. Their spring rolls and prawn toast are also delicious.... and for some odd reason, I always love ordering a small plate of fries. Loool!! Enjoy it!
Karim M — Google review
A restaurant specializing in Thai cuisine.
I tried the famous Tom Yum soup; it was decent.
The service was excellent.
This place used to have the best tom yum soup in the whole area. It has changed from fresh ingredients to frozen. Calamari used to be fresh, now frozen with fishy taste. They use now baby shrimp instead of fresh big shrimp. Total failure.
My recent experience at Thailand Restaurant was overall enjoyable, although there were a few minor setbacks.
We ordered the grilled superme with white rice, and also tried the fatoosh salad. The flavors of the dishes were excellent; the grilled superme was juicy and tender, perfectly complemented by the fluffy white rice. However, I must mention that the only downside of the experience was the long wait time for the grilled superme. It took approximately 45 minutes to arrive at our table. Despite this oversight, the staff was friendly and apologetic about the delay, which was appreciated.
In conclusion, I would still be willing to give the place another chance. The quality of the food and the pleasant service compensated for the delay in serving the grilled superme. I believe that with a bit of improvement in their timing, this place has the potential to become an excellent dining destination.
Tom yum soup is a piece of art whose elements you will look for to analyze. In every single sip you will taste a diffent ingredient. It's aromatic and gives the sense of spa but for your inner body. The fresh chillies, the sweetness of the coconut milk, and the warmth of the broth makes you want more of it. And the perfect place to enjoy these sensations is the Thailand Restaurant.
Never expected the food would be so good. We started with the Tom Yum soup and it was amazing, the beef broccoli and other dishes were mind blowing. The staff were very welcoming, friendly, well attentive they explained the menu and recommend dishes thats best for us. This place is good for gatherings and it's family friendly.
I enjoyed finding a grand Thai Restaurant with all of my favorite foods. The staff were welcoming and friendly. The food was delicious. The only disappointment was that the dining area was an echo chamber where you could hear everyone else’s conversation.
This place second brand in alfanar in adliya amazing food there specially the grilled seabream /Grilled shrimp/machbos hamor/and tomyam soup fantastic tested ❤️❤️❤️ also the staff there friendly N/really really good service also 💯💯💯

Persian restaurant
Banu Restaurant is a top Persian dining spot in Bahrain, known for its clean and flavorful dishes. While some patrons felt that the lamb quality could be improved, others raved about the amazing chicken polo and beef kababa. The restaurant offers authentic Persian cuisine with well-made dishes such as qorma subzi and shirazi salad. The staff is friendly, the place is welcoming, and the service is quick. Prices are slightly higher than average but worth it for the quality of food.
Such beautiful well managed resturant. Good tasty atmosphere is so beautifully presented with nice colors and design. I would go again. And when I say I would go again it means I love the place. They have so many selections. And I look forward to try some more. The staff very good. Every individual was thought to be professional presenting their tasks from start to main dish presented to customers. Thank you again for beautiful service.
MidLin K — Google review
The food was flavorful and well-prepared—classic Persian dishes done right, with generous portions and good presentation.
However, I was surprised and a bit disappointed that the fresh herbs and vegetables (sabzi) weren’t offered as a complimentary starter, which is a common tradition in many Persian restaurants. It felt like a missing touch that would have completed the experience.
If you're craving a culinary journey through Persia without hopping on a plane, this restaurant is your golden ticket.
The food is absolutely phenomenal. Every dish is a celebration of flavor, from the perfectly charred koobideh kababs tahjin. The rice alone deserves its own five-star rating—fluffy and buttery.
Despite always being full, the energy is buzzing rather than chaotic. The staff move with grace and kindness, somehow remembering everyone’s favorite order and still making newcomers feel like honored guests.
It’s not just a place to eat—it’s a place to linger, to laugh, to savor. Persian hospitality and soul food at its finest. No wonder there’s always a line out the door.
I love visiting this restaurant with my family. The atmosphere is relaxing, the food is delicious, and the location is excellent. I highly recommend it.
Typical Irani grills and kebobs. Succulent chelo kebabs are just delicious. The chopped vegetable salad with feta cheese and olives covered in pomegranate sauce is a perfect appetiser. The service is incredible and the cosy environment suits overall ambience. A great experience.
Banu Restaurant, located in Hala Plaza, offers an authentic Iranian dining experience that leaves a strong impression, particularly when it comes to food and service. The hospitality is warm and attentive, and the menu delivers rich, flavorful dishes that highlight the best of Persian cuisine. Everything I ordered was well-prepared and genuinely delicious, reflecting both quality ingredients and skilled cooking.
The restaurant is popular among families, and you’ll often find guests from across the Gulf region enjoying a meal here, which speaks to its reputation and welcoming atmosphere.
That said, the ambiance is where Banu might consider improvements. The layout feels very much like sitting in a large living room or hall—while this adds a sense of comfort, it also means there is little privacy. Conversations carry easily, and I found myself overhearing every detail from nearby tables. For diners who prefer a more private or intimate experience, this can be distracting. Updating the seating arrangement during future renovations could greatly enhance the overall dining environment.
In summary:
Food: Excellent, flavorful, authentic Iranian cuisine.
Service: Friendly, professional, and attentive.
Ambiance: Comfortable but lacking privacy; better seating design would improve the experience.
Banu is a great choice for those seeking delicious Iranian food in Bahrain, especially for families and groups, though couples or those looking for quiet dining may wish for a bit more privacy.
This Iranian restaurant offers a wonderful experience thanks to its truly diverse and delicious menu. The staff is distinguished by a warm welcome and highly sophisticated and professional service.
The restaurant provides the option of sitting indoors or outdoors, but due to its location in a shopping mall and its moderate size, the outdoor seating may not be completely quiet.
An Authentic Iranian Experience Worthy of a Perfect Score
My visit to Banu restaurant in Bahrain was a fantastic experience by all standards. It is the perfect destination for anyone seeking authentic Iranian flavor with unmatched quality.
The Food:
The food was, without a doubt, the star of the show. I tried three main dishes, and each had its own unique character:
* Sultani: Delicious and cooked to perfection, with a rich and distinctive flavor.
* Bamia (Okra Stew): A wonderful dish with an authentic, home-cooked taste, perfect for fans of Iranian stews.
* The Ribs: This was the absolute best dish! The ribs were so tender they melted in your mouth, and their seasoning was unique and delicious. I highly recommend them as a first choice when visiting.
Service & Atmosphere:
The service was excellent and prompt, with staff who were extremely friendly and professional. Although the restaurant space is somewhat small, the atmosphere was good, creating an intimate and cozy feeling that adds a special touch to the experience.
Price:
The prices might seem a bit high at first, but in my opinion, they are completely justified by the exceptional quality of the food and the complete experience offered. Every penny spent is an investment in an unforgettable meal.
Conclusion:
Banu is a must-visit destination in Bahrain. Whether you're a fan of Iranian cuisine or looking to try new and distinctive flavors, this is the perfect place. I highly recommend it and will definitely be returning.

Staffs are very accomodating and professional! I want to commend the Filipinas working here, they are very nice and polite! The ambiance are good and very comfortable. And the best thing is, they got a lot of options in the menu! My friends and I enjoyed it and will come back for sure.
They have the best fruit baskets in Bahrain, presentable and an excellent gift. I contacted them while they were closed, they were very helpful in getting my order settled even though it wasn’t listed on talabat. Excellent service, they printed the message - not just write it , they really go over and beyond
to help customers.
Next time I visit Bahrain, it will be the first place I will go again. The decor and layout of the place are great. The service is great, the drinks are delicious, and the hookah is good, but the coals were not cubed. It's okay. The prices are also reasonable. Thank you.
Perfect atmosphere, many area for families
The food and drinks are amazing staff friendly and helpful
4th Time Visited this Place and Ofcourse to be honest not really comfortable to get inside as the entrance will welcome you with full pack of guest and mostly gents.the way is very tight and its so uncomfortable to walk in the middle with bunch of customers specially local peoples.
The service is average and i hope they can make you exciting in terms of recommendations of food or whaterver in the menu ,Theres a lot of seating area and our favorite is in the girls section with sofa.The only thing is the sheesha is pricy and to be honest tghe quality is very poor,i know this is their signature but not quality at all.The food portion is huge ,the Salmon Salad is good,the appetizer is bad like no taste and no quality,twe tried the shawarma and thought we can taste something special in it but we regret to order.
That said, the prices are definitely on the higher side. the cost of the sheesha and drinks can add up quickly. If you’re looking for a more affordable option, this might not be your best choice, but if you’re in the mood for a premium experience and and good food,this not the place.
Best cafe in town, cozy and high quality food and beverages. Big thanks to Mr. Haroon the manager for his cooperation and support while having my guest from outside Bahrain especially UAE visitors as they love the place especially the private section.
What a big and cool restaurant! The restaurant has multiple places both sit inside and outside. It’s huge! I came here for lunch but want to come back in the evening when it’s livelier. Not many people were here on a Saturday for lunch.
I’ve tried the tuna and salmon wrap here. Much prefer the tuna wrap because the salmon was salty. I HIGHLY recommended the iced teas 🙌
There’s a parking lot on the other side of the road, don’t miss it!

Chinese meals, excellent location, reasonable prices
The food was great and the service was good.. 😊
Nice and tasty Chinese cuisine very well prepared. Some items on the salty side but that maybe my taste buds. I think the prices maybe a little high. All in all, enjoyed my visit. Will more than likely come back again to try the rest of the menu.
Lovely place for some good Chinese food. I love the crab soup there. One is enough for 3 people. The food quantity is also very and sweet and friendly staff
Good ambience, food was tasty, prices were reasonable. The portion, however, became less than my previous visit one and a half month ago while prices increased.
One of the best Chinese restaurants in Bahrain! A must to go to if you're craving for asian food!
Nice place but very salty!!

Some of their dishes can be good but not great and some are terrible.
The quality of the food doesn’t justify the prices. The portion sizes also not, given that the portions are… well… tiny.
I ordered some salad with zaatar chicken but I didn’t expect the weight of zaatar to exceed that of the chicken. 😫🤦🏻♀️
Basically I couldn’t taste any chicken in there. 😅
What I like to get from them are the super greens soup and the avocado toast with sourdough bread. Still expensive but at least they taste good. Except the avocado is sometimes sent super oxidised. 😏
Oh, and they do take their time to deliver! For a soup that’s already made and a slice of bread with avocado on top they take more than 45 minutes.
I ordered their kale salad and chickpea wrap and they were both so, so good. 😊
The salad is good but quite bland, even with the dressing. It needs more flavor, or at least salt and lemon.
I have been ordering from cantine regularly and liked their food even though its a tad over priced for the portions. However, last time I placed an order which had capers and a pieces of onions on it. I asked if they could just add a few more capers and more onions and they replied back saying they wanted to charge me extra?!?!?!?!??! for 4 extra pieces of capers and less than a quarter of a small onion?!?!?!?!??! I was extremely disappointed by this as I order frequently and there was no element of customer service. I told them this is the last time I ever place an order with them and have stuck to it. I have now started ordering from another place which has way better food, good portions and even send me a complimentary cookie every time due to my loyalty! Not asking to charge me for three slices of onion and a caper!!!!.
Soul filling healthy food. The restaurant is located in Yateem mall on the top floor, making it quite a contrast from other common surrounding restaurants.
Had a go with their delicious pumpkin soup, chicken and pesto sandwich and salads and they all taste good.
I recommend their pumpkin soup, especially as a winter dish it has such a kick to it.
Absolutely delicious! I love their salads, sandwiches, snacks, well everything! I always feel good after having their salads due to the fresh and healthy ingredients they use. I highly recommend it!
Fresh, well priced, beautifully presented food. Juices and coffee also excellent. I credit them for helping me lose weight. Finally we have a healthy lunch option!

It was a good experience. We visit Bushido Seef twice and it offers an excellent dining experience with a wonderful ambiance that really sets the mood.
We especially enjoyed the unlimited sushi, it was fresh, flavorful, and had a great variety. The matcha ice cream was a delightful surprise and the perfect way to end the meal.
While the meat we ordered was slightly overcooked, the overall quality of the food and atmosphere made up for it. A great spot for sushi lovers and anyone looking to enjoy a memorable evening!
I went to Bushido tonight and honestly, it was such a great experience. The evening was super fun, and the atmosphere was so good. I loved the live music band it really added a special vibe to the night. The food was amazing, especially if you’re into sushi; everything tasted fresh and full of flavor. and the drinks were amazing, the place itself looks beautiful, with a design that mixes elegance and authentic Japanese style. it’s the kind of spot you’ll want to come back to. Totally recommend it!
Bushido in Bahrain is one of my favorite places to dine and unwind. The atmosphere is amazing — elegant yet vibrant, especially with the live music that adds a unique energy to the evening. The food is consistently delicious, with beautifully presented dishes and a wide variety of flavors. We especially love the Sushi Madness on Wednesdays — all-you-can-eat sushi is a dream! The Friday and Saturday brunches are also fantastic. Bushido always delivers a top-notch experience.
Not just a BAR- “Perfect for a date night. The lighting, music, and atmosphere were just right. Cocktails were top-notch and the service was excellent. Highly recommend for couples looking for a chill night out."
The food was great! Friendly staff, and the performers — exceptional!💯definitely will go back to Bahrain for this one!
Amazing lunch (buffet) with lots of great selections. Nice music: not too loud.
The best brunch in Bahrain! Great value for money and excellent service.

I recently had a pleasure of dining at Roka Bahrain and I must say it was an exceptional experience with warm welcoming and guide us till we sit comfortably.
The menu was varied with range of options to suit all Japanese taste lovers... Each course was expertly prepared and presented with flavours amd texture that were truly sublime.
The service was top notch with humble and friendly staff. The atmosphere was lively and vibrant with great selection of music..
We were told regarding the live music which was missing as there was no live music...
Overall, it was high quality dining experience and recommended for special occasions, business dinners and Japanese cuisines lovers....

Probably one of the best Japanese restaurants in Bahrain, yet the management could be improved, especially when it comes to managing reservations. The hostess was unorganized and not professional.
Moreover, you can walk into the restaurant with a short as it doesn’t seem to be issue, even in Friday night.
Personally it has been one my favorite places in Bahrain, but it sadden me that it will my last time visiting.
ROKA has been around for a while but I only recently had the opportunity to visit the place.
I absolutely enjoyed the full dining experience - ambiance, music, service. However, the i didn't find the food portions to justify the price being charged. Some of the items were just above average and some were good but the price didnt justify the overall quality and portion for some of the items.
Outstanding restaurant in Bahrain. The food, staff and drinks are all outstanding. Definitely my best dinner in Bahrain to date. The strawberry mojito, baked potatoes and sweet corn were my favorites!! My husband was raving about the salmon. I’ve only got after we finished photos for the mains, but the deserts were also delicious.
I’ve always enjoyed visiting Roka, but unfortunately, I had a disappointing experience with the staff recently. I arrived early and waited, hoping to be accommodated with a table in the smoking area as I had requested over the phone.
Despite my early arrival, I had to wait until 11:10 AM, even though my reservation was at 11:00 AM. Eventually, I was told that no tables were available in the smoking area, only inside the restaurant—yet I could clearly see an empty table right in front of me. I also know that after 11:00 AM, there were no more reservations scheduled.
One staff member told me the table was reserved, while another said there was a table ready inside. Their communication was inconsistent, and the attitude of the staff was very poor. One of them didn’t even allow me to explain and spoke to me in a disrespectful tone.
I’m truly disappointed and hope they improve their approach and professionalism. Until then, I won’t recommend this place. Avoid dealing with the staff if you can—the service was a disaster.
If things change, I’ll gladly update my review
I would like to give a special thanks for the kind treatment I received today from a staff member at the bar named Bikram. He was extremely kind and helpful — truly the best person at Roka
Roka Bahrain is a stunning rooftop spot in Manama with breathtaking views of the bay, making it an ideal setting for a memorable evening or afternoon.
The hospitality stands out attentive, welcoming, and professional ensuring guests feel well taken care of.
Thanks to the amazing simone ❤️
The food is packed with flavor, showcasing Japanese robatayaki at its best, with dishes that are both beautifully presented and delicious. A perfect blend of great location, warm service, and exceptional taste.
Everything is delicious. 3 items totally stand out for me: the spicy edamame (better than anywhere, the spicy sauce is 11/10), the truffle and mushroom rice hot pot and their matcha ice tea.
The food was a mix some dishes were quite good, others more on the average side. While it wasn’t a bad experience, I just didn’t feel a strong reason to return.

Always loved their food
Pretty good. The food is okay. Not as flavoursome as I would have liked. I like my mixed grill more juicy. Everything needs a little more seasoning. I'll still be coming back, but won't be dreaming about the place.
