Honest food, cooked over flame

From lamp workshop to dining room

Mataam Al Shuala began as a small neighbourhood kitchen with a big love for honest food. Today we cook with vegetables from Wafra farms and fish bought at Souq Sharq, bake our own bread every morning and change the menu with the seasons. Come for a quick lunch or stay for a long dinner; there is always a seat for you.

Our story

What our guests say

By far the best dinner we have had in years. Every plate was balanced, the staff were warm and the saffron rice was spot on.
