I should have posted about this subject long time ago!

I’m really frustrated from the burger . . .  I repeat BURGER prices in the country. They’re unreasonable at all! 1 single burger minus fries & soft drink costs around KD 3 up to KD 5 or 6! Is this acceptable?! It’s a burger, the whole ingredient wouldn’t exceed KD1 Max & you sell it for KD4?! Why y3ni?!

It’s because we have the money, we don’t complain or literary feel how expensive it is. We wouldn’t mind spending money on food, we wouldn’t mind spending more than KD 5 on a burger meal, but think about it, is it really worth it?! No it’s NOT!

The only burger that I’ve found its price reasonable when looking at other prices, is Elevation Burger which costs around KD 2.250 & it’s somehow acceptable because it’s organic . . . But what about the other burger places?! What’s your excuse?! Do you buy your lettuce from Honolulu or your tomato from Sin Maarten (do they even have them in there?!)!

I’m not a cheap person, I’d finish my salary before the end of the month just because of restaurants & cafes . . . but someone has to speak about this and take action! I know I can’t do anything but talk, but what I’m gonna do boycott (or rather not buy) burgers that costs more than KD 2.500/-

Yesterday I was invited by the lovely Miss Nikki the manager of Luna restaurant to attend the pre opening and taste some of the dishes displayed on their menu. My husband & I arrived today where we’ve been greeted warmly by the receptionist and showed us to our table. Later on, Nikki came & greeted us. She gave us a background about the restaurant and she mentioned that it is a Mediterranean restaurant that has a variety of dishes & it does.

So we picked our dishes (check pix) and I went to take pictures of the place. The staff was very polite, sweet, super friendly & very efficient (hope it will stay the same *never ever change). The atmosphere of the place was very cozy and warm. The seats were comfy & the tables are very suitable for eating. The complimentary food’s quantity was more than enough.

Now, let me take in a tour inside the restaurant along with the dishes we’ve ordered, shall we

seating area

another section

isn’t it elegant and fashionable?

privacy is available

the bar

part of the privacy, you can enjoy your email with your table area covered with a thread curtain

complimentary sweet penuts

complimentary potato chips

Romesco sauce, delicious

complimentary bread

seafood sauce: delicious and very light to start your meal with it.

mini bread topped with fish: Oh La La La

Caramelized Chicken Livers: *faint* I salut the chef for this dish. It was very very very soft & light, I couldn’t feel it going inside my tummy. In many restaurants, the chicken liver turns out to be a little bit chewy but oh no, not this dish.

Lamb Pies: It was very ordinary but the creamy cheesy topping was to die for.

Lobster Salad: very lovely yet very very spicy.

Lamb Angus fillet (or smth like that, forgot the name); was somehow good but a lil bit dry, extra sauce and it will be perfect.

Ramesco Prawn with rice: verrryyy delicious and the shrimp was huge (not tiny). Very heavy dish, suitable for two persons.

Hazelnut Lava Cake: delicious same as Choco Room

Pineapple & ginger smth with yoghurt ice cream: simply WOW . . . Heaven. aahhhh I want more of this dish.

playing with the lights . . . wear sunglasses coz it hurts the eyes

isn’t this cute? containing toothpicks

my Missoni notebook

I know I know, I’m the last one on earth to try The Burger Hub but it wouldn’t hurt to write about my experience The atmosphere was kinda dark, I almost fell asleep *yawn* but the decoration is lovely. The seatings weren’t comfortable at all, my back was hurting me all the time, and I felt I was not that close to the table and it wasn’t adjustable! The restaurant was very humid, the AC wasn’t working very well, and I was going to faint, not to mention I was fasting at that time. Their menu lacked photos. I believe each restaurant must include photos of some of the dishes in their menu. The food was good & I really enjoyed the Wazo fries.

No photos

See how dark it is . . .

Buffalo Salad (yum yum)

Wazo fries . . . It reminded me of Dathra

La Rose Burger . . . Very delicious

Chili Burger . . . Wasn’t that good!
