Tried paella today for the first time at a place that was recommended called La Paella Real. It was delicious! Someone needs to open up a Spanish restaurant in Kuwait if there isn’t one already, they’ve got some amazing dishes here…

bel3fya weld 3amey.
There used to be Viva Espanole at Thuraya Complex in Salmiya :-(
You can have Tapas at Cuts (which is a combo of Brazilian and Spanish food)… but sadly, we dont have an authentic Spanish restaurants in Kuwait :-(
check your weight when you get back…… Homer!!!
Why? so they cook it with basmati rice and yellow food coloring and pass it off as paella ? You must try queso de cabra, it an amazing cheese served with onion marmalade. Checkout a restaurant called bazaar.
Madrid for food is great but Barcelona is on a different level…one to visit just for the food
holy moly !! thats a reall paella ?? I want one of those in Kuwait !
paella is derived from the Arabic word for leftovers, baqiyah, (بقية) because the arabs used to give their leftovers to the poor Spanish
Barcelona has great food! Not even going to try paella in Kuwait!
that thing looks alive
You see now I am goin to have to kill you because that is my most favourite spanish dish………………the rice isssssssss special.
Paella = Baeya which is what they called it long time ago as they mixed every food they have in one dish so they called it Bageya as whats left from food they have i see this dish every year and i always pass it to next year :P
I thought there is a Latin restaurant at Movenpick?
Never liked Paella but I could eat Tapas all day
what the duce? whats happening to my comments?
Any Spanish food you get cooked here in Kuwait will be cooked by Filipinos…………………..not very Spanish
Mark, I respect your opinion, but I really cant chow down on that stuff. Was the shell fish and prawns even de-veined?
Who cares about de-veined prawns? We eat loads of junk anyways!
On a totally separate issue, does anyone know of a F/O cable damaged in the persian gulf? Just got this news from kems a week ago and its still under repair. Looks like kems is the only one affected by this. I have a 512K link and its just unbelievably slow.
http://www.newser.com/story/18573/anchor-cut-persian-gulf-internet-cable.html Think this one still needs resolving to have services up to 100%?
Mark, food poisioning from those monster shrips? :-) Where did you disappear? :-)
This is happening with hotmail, and I haven’t seen that for a long time :

Paella is originally an Arabic word which is baqeya
when spain was ruled by islamic leader they used to give the spanish prisoners the remained food which is baqeyat el akel
Ok , that looks absolutely GROSSSSSS!!
That looks wonderful… I can almost smell it.
Enjoy…
Yummyyyy…. how much?
Thanks Akbar!
I love Paella….. I don’t know about any Spanish restos here in kuwait but you can find Paella @ Dean & Deluca’s for 8KD (approx) per KG. Haven’t tried it yet though.
I am spanish and have always wondered why there is no Spanish restaurant in Kuwait since they seem to have all other forms of global cuisines. I realize that a) people are scared of most of the Spanish seafood and crustations b) Spaniards use pork in so many things c) tapas without wine is not the same. Bringing a Spanish restaurant to Kuwait would have to involve stealing the cuisine’s very soul…punto.
