Asyakh, a newly opened Bahraini restaurant, has quickly become the talk of the town, drawing crowds for its perfectly grilled meats and authentic Gulf flavors.
While the ambiance is quite standard with simple decor, comfortable seating and the feel of any fine-dining restaurant, it’s the food that truly sets this place apart.
The menu showcases a variety of classic Bahraini and Gulf-inspired dishes, beginning with appetizers such as hummus, fattoula (a refreshing mix of greens and crispy bread), jarjeer salad (arugula salad), and hummus ma’bous, a spicy twist on the traditional dip.
The grill section is where the restaurant shines, offering flavorful Bahraini tikkas, chicken wings, chicken tikka, yogurt-marinated tikka and several kinds of kebabs, including Kabab Al-Aam Mahmoud, spicy kebab and date molasses kebab.
The grilled chicken, lamb chops, beef pesto strips and barbecue shashlik all arrive hot and juicy, served with soft, freshly baked bread and fragrant saffron rice.
One standout dish is the goat yogurt with date molasses, a surprisingly rich and tangy pairing that reflects the restaurant’s Bahraini roots. The spicy Bahraini ma’bous dip also deserves mention for those who love a flaming kick.
However, despite the food’s excellence, the restaurant’s growing popularity has led to long waiting times, especially during weekends. Making a reservation through the link on their Instagram page is highly recommended to avoid the crowds. Service can feel a bit slow when the restaurant is full, but the staff remain attentive and welcoming once seated.
Overall, Asyakhs blend rich marinades and smoky aromas with a casual yet inviting dining experience. For more details, visit @asyakh.ksa.
