Al Mrzab Traditional Restaurant
Al Mrzab is old-school Gulf cooking with no need for hotel polish. Just off Airport Road, this Emirati-Kuwaiti favourite serves fragrant machboos, fish curries and generous plates in a straightforward room with majlis-style seating. It's a brilliant place to get properly acquainted with the region's comfort food, especially when you're happy to let the kitchen do the talking.
