Freej Swalieh Kuwaiti Food Restaurant brings the cooking and social dining traditions of Kuwait to 86 Brompton Road in Knightsbridge. The London branch has a warm, family oriented atmosphere and serves a full eat in menu throughout the week, with reservations as well as collection and delivery available.
Kuwaiti rice dishes are central to the menu. Chicken and mutton majbous appear beside biryani, kapsa and rice served with chicken, mutton, fish or okra curry, while regional seafood preparations use hamour, zubaidi and prawns to demonstrate the importance of the Gulf to the cuisine.
Cold appetisers include hummus, mutabbal, tabbouleh and baba ganoush, joined by hot dishes such as jareesh, markookh and tashreeb. The grill adds kebabs, shish tawook, tikka, lamb chops, chicken and sea bass, making it straightforward for a larger table to combine rice, mezze and charcoal cooked plates.
Fresh juices range from lemon and mint to mango and avocado, while Arabic tea and coffee suit the restaurant’s unhurried style of dining. Swaileh cake and luqaimat offer a sweet finish, rounding out a menu that gives London diners a broad introduction to Kuwaiti comfort food and hospitality.
