Zeitouna

If you're looking for a quick and tasty Lebanese style lunch, I would recommend Zeitouna in American Alley, Juffair.  The guys at work were telling me how good the Chicken Freekeh, Kabab Instanboli and Chicken Kabab sandwiches were, but the 4 cheese Fromages (1.95BD) and the Moussaka (3.2BD) caught my attention. The 4 cheese Fromages was very good, if you like a cheese filled Nan or a cheese quesadilla, then you'll love the Fromages.  The Moussaka was very good as well.  Filled with eggplant, meat and a lot of cheese.  This was enough food for two people, but I was able to gorge through it with no problem.

Entertainer Bahrain 2015

I just received the new 2015 Entertainer Bahrain book today, which contains 650 buy one get one free offers.  You also get a Entertainer travel book that has over 250 buy one get one free hotel offers for use throughout the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Europe.  I ordered it from the Entertainer website and received the 20% discount.  I opted for the book vice the app, just because I think it will work better between my wife and I.  The pre-order price was only 25BD, and it was delivered to my personal residence within a couple days.  Each year, I usually pay off the book in savings within the first couple weeks of the year.  A couple trips to Maki, The Butcher Shop Grill, Fuddruckers and Tony Roma's, and you'll have some great savings throughout the year.  I also noticed they had the books, including the sample book so you can see all the coupons, at the Carrefour at the City Centre. 

Round Table Pizza

Round Table Pizza, a U.S. pizza franchise from the west coast has landed in Juffair.  Located in the Al Raya Mall, the newly opened restaurant is serving up some pretty good pizza, sandwiches and flatbreads.  My wife and I ordered the Antipesto Salad (2.1BD) which came with black olives, mushrooms, artichokes and salami.  It was very good and served two people with no problem.  We then ordered a medium size King Authur's Supreme Pan (4.3BD). The pizza had no shortage of toppings. It came with heapings of pepperoni, Italian sausage, salami, mushrooms, green peppers, onions, black olives with a zesty red sauce.  Like I said, there was no shortage of toppings on the pizza.  The pizza was great.  I'm getting used to the wood oven style pizza's; however, Round Table will give the other American pizza chains (Pizza Hut, Dominoes, Papa Johns) a run for their money. Also, there will be another location opening soon in the Sultan Mall, Isa town

Bun Bun

In the new shopping complex on American Alley in Juffair, you'll find Bun Bun Burgers and More.  There's been quite a buzz about the place, specifically the Filet Mignon and Calamari. I went with a couple friends, who had a great experience at the restaurant already.  I ordered the Bun Bun salad (3.9BD) and my friends ordered the Filet Mignon (7.8BD) and Golden Calamari (2.7BD).  You get a complimentary bun with different oils as an appetizer. The Calamari is probably one of the best in Bahrain, served with tarter and a sweet chili sauce.  The Filet is served with your choice of Mushroom Sauce, Pepper Sauce, Blue Cheese, Balsamic Herbs or Chimichurri Sauce.  I sampled the steak and it was delicious.  I've been hearing about how good the steak was all week, especially for the price. The Bun Bun salad was also delicious, served with shrimp, crab salad and avocado.  The chef actually came to the table to introduce some of the food and took our order.  The entire meal was delicious.  The what I was expecting from a place called Bun Bun located in American Alley.
