About
The history of Mais Alghanim Restaurant dates back to the previous century when our founding father Edmond Barakat (Abu Emile), opened a canteen for the employees of Yusuf Ahmed Alghanim & Sons Co., called “Mess Alghanim”.Over time, strong ties and personal relations grew between Abu Emile, Kuwaiti, and Expatriate Families extending over three phases and three generations. The first phase commenced in 1953 during which complete meals and take-away services were offered transforming the canteen into a restaurant for one and all.In 1974, Emile Barakat (Abu Edmond) presided over the business from his late father marking the beginning of the second phase. Under his leadership, the restaurant moved to the old Kuwait television station in 1987 where it was registered at the Ministry of Commerce and Industry in the name of Yusuf Ahmed Alghanim & Sons Co. It was at this time that the name was changed from“Mess Alghanim” to “Mais Alghanim”.Abu Edmond’s vision brought Mais Alghanim forward into the beginning of the third phase in 2003, to its present location, a building of true traditional Kuwaiti design, preserving the heritage and genuine tradition. With further development of this phase, Mais Alghanim continued the journey of hospitality by opening its doors to welcome guests at a new location in Mahboula in 2010.Hence, after more than 50 years of successful service, the late Abu Edmond’s brothers and eldest son continue to welcome you with the same spirit through Generations of Genuine Hospitality, and Good Food

We visited the restaurant at lunch time, quite busy and you need to wait between 5 to 10 minutes in the weekend.
The view from the restaurant is very nice. Very suitable for families and groups.
I would recommend to visit this restaurant at least once.
Good experience

We visited the restaurant on August 6. As usual, clean, professional and tasty food. The newly introduced item in the menu, Chicken Shawarma is not even worth one third of its price. Exorbitant charge on drinking water bottles. Almost 1 kd on each bottle.

Myself and a colleague were staying at a nearby hotel and ate dinner here this evening. Authentic Lebanese cuisine served by friendly staff, at a mid range price point.
My only issue was they brought our starters and mains out at exactly the same time my main was warm (not hit) by the time I got to eat it.

I never tried a dine-in on this restaurant but in our company we used to order from here twice and once I ordered for myself. I never really like their food. Even the salad don't have a nice taste at all. This restaurant is so popular so I was kind of disappointed when I tried their food. The staff though are super nice to send me better new food.

I've dined here a couple of times over the past year and this time the experience wasn't as good as the previous ones. The staff seemed rushed off their feet (understaffed) and the food was barely warm when it came to the table. The management definitely need to step it up a notch to keep their reputation.

It's a very well-known restaurant in Kuwait; this place has its own ups/downs throughout time; it depends on the management running it in different times of its history.
Today, we had lunch with friends after a long time in this restaurant. I definitely felt some improvement in the menu, style of cooking, quality of food.
Only one major mistake when the grilled food came to the table it was barely warm. I notified the management, and they fixed the problem.
Good food presentation, taste, very good service, great location.
Price mid to high.

Amazing taste and one of the best Arabic cuisines in Kuwait. Ambience is cool. Location is amazing. Ample of parking space. It's a perfect place to have a small or large gathering with your family and friends. The restaurant is huge enough to accommodate even more than 20 guests on one table. The staff is professional, and you can even call-in advance to make reservations. Kids play area in the restaurant is icing on the cake.

The food was excellent. Best houmous I have ever had in my life. If I could I would buy some and take with me back home in the plane. But in general all the food was ebsolutely exquisite. The flat bread is all you can eat fresh and hot. The service was very efficient and friendly as well. Would recommend it to anyone.
