2022.05.11 I tried the new place for shisha. I sat outside. Nice location. Multiple outdoor seating areas. One with AC. One without AC. They have a rooftop with a guy playing the violin. Servicecwas good. Coffee was good. On the 9th of May, I tried the place for lunch. It was OK. Mediterranean food. It was average for me.

While Frisca offers a variety of shisha, their food selection also has a few unique items. Notable mentions include: Hawawshi - traditional Egyptian dish of dough (or pita) stuffed with a mixture of ground beef that is seasoned with warm spices, onions, garlic, hot peppers and fresh herbs. And Lahamacun - thin flat bread topped with spiced mincemeat. For drinks, I was a fan of the Ginger, Lemon & Honey Tea Pot! The interior is decorated with various murals and there is a separate section in the back of the building for families.

Located at the bahrain mall compound, this cafe is a nice hang out and leisure spot. Food is well made, ambience is good and there is a kids play area aswell. They have outdoor seating and terrace seating too. The staff are very courteous and friendly. Plenty of sheesha flavours to choose from.

Friska is one of the best restaurants I have went ,they have every single type of food like Turkish , Italian ,Arabic etc ,and the staff were so good and fun especially Pride (one of the staff members ) and also the other staff member that I think that she is from Philippines ????????, the service was extremely good , they even came every single time to move the cats away, so I am telling you that you will really enjoy and like this place.
