Reem Al Bawadi Restaurant & Cafe

This Arabesque styled restaurant and café is popular with locals, expats, tourists and international celebrities, with four appealing locations across the city. Its menu bares the traditional Middle Eastern cuisine with all the mezzahs, grilles, salads and desserts one expects from an established venue so frequented by loyal guests and diners. Friday buffet is a particular treat since guests can sample a wide variety of popular Arabic dishes and desserts. There are indoor and outdoor seating areas to choose from with waterside locations particularly boasting direct views of renowned landmarks. One might have a preference for outdoor versus indoor seating depending on one's tolerance for shisha smoke, since these venues do not have designated non-smoking areas and the smoke intensity becomes irritating most nights. This is often a deal breaker for patrons seated indoors.

Booking in advance is advised to guarantee seating, particularly from Wednesday evenings to Saturday evenings at all the locations. This is a hot spot for residents who enjoy late nights over weekends, especially when sports are aired on flat screen TVs that are conveniently positioned in all the right spots in each venue. If you keep your eyes peeled, you might spot a celebrity or two on any given night.

Opening Times:

All locations daily from 6 am to 3 am
