Mais Alghanim

Mais Alghanim is a mid-range Lebanese restaurant on Gulf Road, opposite Kuwait Towers, in Kuwait City, Kuwait. The location on the city's main waterfront boulevard makes it a convenient stop for visitors seeing the towers and the seafront, and its menu follows the classic Lebanese format of mezze followed by grills. Typical spending is KWD 6-12 per person, and opening hours are reported as 12:00-23:00 daily. No chef lineage or awards are documented.

The signature dishes are mixed mezze, mixed grill and kibbeh. The mezze selection usually includes hummus, moutabbal, tabbouleh and fattoush alongside hot items, and is designed to be shared. Mixed grill platters combine skewered meats with bread and grilled vegetables, while kibbeh, the spiced bulgur and minced-meat croquette, is a staple of the Lebanese table. The restaurant's specialty is Lebanese mezze and grills, and a group order of several starters plus one grill platter is the standard way to dine.

The atmosphere is family-friendly and sociable, often noisy at peak times with large groups sharing food. Dress is casual to smart-casual. Alcohol is not available in Kuwait; fresh juices, laban, Lebanese coffee and soft drinks fill the beverage list.

Reservations are advisable on Thursday and Friday, the busiest nights of the Kuwaiti weekend, particularly for groups wanting a table near the window. On other days walk-in seating is usually available. Visitors often combine a meal with a walk along the Gulf Road promenade and a visit to Kuwait Towers, which are visible across the road.
