Review: Pizza Hut or Pasta Hut?

We were shopping at Salmiya center when we decided to have dinner out. It was a long time since I ate at Pizza Hut so we decided to go there.

First thing that stood out was the big PASTA advertising all over the palace. Seems this new menu was introduced about a month and half ago. So pasta it was.

We ordered the Spicy Shrimp Linguini, a trio of chicken starters and a few drinks. The pasta was pretty good and had that bland Italian taste (which I guess is a good thing). There wasn’t anything spicy about it! I guess 2 pieces of capsicum is spice! On the trio plate, the fried chicken was very nice and the wedges too. The flavour in the chicken wraps was a little over powering (couldn’t taste the chicken). Overall a decent meal.

One thing we noticed immediately was that the area around the cooking station didn’t smell too good. I guess it has to do with the mix of pasta aromas. One visually unappealing thing was that the sauce was served in a black bowl. It should have been white or similar.

The staff were pretty friendly and ever ready to serve.

Now for the ratings:

Staff Knowledge: ****~ (4/5)
Service: ***~~ (3/5)
Food Quality: ***~~ (3/5)
Price: ****~ (4/5)
Location & Branding: ***½~ (3.5/5)

Overall Score: ***½~ (3.5/5)

Would I eat there again? Yep and next time I’m gonna try my hand at the station if possible.

You just gotta love the Philipinos for sharing this.

Pizza Rustica @ The Avenues

This is one of the best pizza’s I’ve eaten. Since Ro and I were at The Avenues and I’d read about this new pizza place on Mark’s blog [link], we decided to give it a try.

The service was super. We wanted to eat on the balcony (if thats what you can call it) facing the fancy fountain. They pulled up a table and 2 chairs just for us. The view was great, could have been more romantic, but I guess this is good enough in Kuwait.

We ordered the “Rustica Special” which is an all Salmon pizza. Simply awesome. Also found a “monte mario” juice on the menu and since it had my name, it had to be a great choice. And it was. One of the nice things I liked was the bread and sauce which kept be busy till the pizza arrived. (Yes, I’m a glut).

A great meal for just KD 8. Sorry Dominoes, you are now #3 on my list after Pizza Express (#2).

If you need to find this place, its at food world on the first floor close to the balcony thing.
