Naz Restaurant

Kuwait City


The 'Persian soul food' at this casual eatery is terrific, with the full range of kebabs, salads and stews – of the latter, the tangy fattoush (salad of toasted bread, tomatoes, onions and mint leaves), shawarmas and khoresht-e bademjan (a diced-lamb stew with aubergine, onion, garlic and dried lemon) are particularly good. You can access the restaurant by walking through the Al Sharq Cooperative Society grocery store.
