About
Where we come from
Mataam Al Shuala began as a small neighbourhood kitchen. We still cook with vegetables from local farms and fish from Souq Sharq, bake our own bread every morning and change the menu with the seasons.
How it all started
It all started fifteen years ago, when our founders turned an old lamp workshop into a twelve-table dining room and named it after the warm light that filled it every evening.
Word spread quickly. Neighbours became regulars, regulars became friends and the little kitchen grew into the restaurant and coffee lounge you see today.
We still cook the way we did on day one: simple recipes, the best ingredients we can find and a welcome that makes everyone feel at home.
