Freej Swaileh Kuwaiti Food Restaurant — Restaurant in London

It was a cold, crisp night in the heart of London. A group of us friends had found time to meet between our busy schedules. After exploring the beauty that is Knightsbridge and performed the obligatory visitation of our beloved Harrods, we had grown hungry and our stomachs yearned for the warm embrace of a plate of rice and meat. We had settled to find somewhere close to Harrods to dine in and at an esteemed establishment which was guaranteed to fulfil our desires! Freej Swaeleh! We all cheered! The delicacy of our beloved Kuwaiti brothers was the choice. And oh my brothers, sisters and respected google scholars - what a choice this turned out to be.... For our life would never be the same after this memorable night.

So we stepped into Freej Swaeleh, warmly greeted by the 100% clearly Kuwaiti staff, the place was oozing with authenticity - I felt like I was transported back to a Kuwaiti mall! Soon we sat down, and were given menus to choose from. When suddenly... my palms felt clammy, my forehead dripping in sweat, my knees weakened and my eyes began to blur.... all I could see was £20s, £30s, £40s, on the menu and my heart could not believe it. "Abu!! Abu!!" my friends screamed. "Abu don't worry this one is on us! You deserve it!" they all said reassuringly. Gradually, I began to calm down and with the help of a £3.99 coke can I was soon back to feeling my best. Soon after the food arrived, still in shock I was not sure what my friends ordered me but the general consensus was some form of Machboos, whether chicken or mutton. "That's okay! I'm sure whatever it is it'll be great!! This is Freej Swaeleh after all!!" I said excitingly.

Little did I know that statement would turn out very horribly wrong in the next coming moments.

The food arrives. I look across the table to see my friends reactions. Have you ever seen disappointment? True disappointment.? You know, that look your parents give you when you just received an A instead of an A* in your GCSE exam. The look when your loved one finds out you cheated on them? The look your friends give you when they understand the true meaning and spiritual implications of Freej Swaeleh. Disappointment and despair was evident and the table became silent.

I thought "okay maybe it only looks like a cadaver and doesn't taste like one", but that thought was quickly disproved. Between the cold, agglutinated rice, the clearly bland, tasteless tomato sauce and the microwaved, dry mutton bone our misery was over in less than 5 minutes. It was a £20 plate, I could not waste this food it is haram - there are people who don't have food in some parts of the world (although I would certainly NOT put someone under the torture of eating what we had to). The food was finished and it was now time for a long, hard introspective reflection period on our mistake just as the post-Freej Swaeleh clarity was kicking in.

I have made a lot of mistakes in my life and nothing can change that. But of the most catastrophic of them is my visit to Freej Swaeleh. The only positive I can take from this experience is at least now I have a place I can recommend to my biggest enemies.

So thank you. Thank you Freej Swaeleh for a night I will never forget.

TLDR; Go buy a meal deal from the Sainsbury's...

Hey there! So, I recently tried out Freej Swaileh, a Kuwaiti food spot in London, and let me tell you, it was an absolute treat! The whole experience was like taking a little trip to Kuwait without leaving the city.

Let's start with the star of the show - the Briani. Oh boy, this dish is a burst of flavors! It's a traditional Kuwaiti rice dish that's fragrant, colorful, and oh-so-tasty. The rice was perfectly cooked, fluffy, and had a wonderful blend of spices and aromatics. The saffron-infused rice was layered with tender pieces of lamb and aromatic vegetables, making each bite an explosion of delight. Seriously, if you haven't tried Briani before, this is the place to do it!

Next up, the Grill Chicken - a true carnivore's dream! The chicken was beautifully grilled to perfection, juicy on the inside, and slightly charred on the outside. The marinade they use must be some secret family recipe because it's so darn good! Each bite was incredibly flavorful, and the portion was generous too. A must-try for anyone who loves grilled meat.

Now, let's talk about Marquq. This dish is a traditional Kuwaiti bread that's cooked in an underground oven, giving it a unique and distinct taste. The bread was soft, fluffy, and had a delightful smoky flavor that you just can't get from regular oven-baked bread. It was the perfect accompaniment to the main dishes and was so good that I could have eaten it on its own!

But it wasn't just the food that made the experience memorable - the hospitality at Freej Swaileh was top-notch. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and more than happy to explain the dishes to me, as I wasn't very familiar with Kuwaiti cuisine. They made sure I felt comfortable throughout my meal and even offered suggestions on what to try next time I visit.

Overall, Freej Swaileh is a hidden gem in London for those seeking a taste of authentic Kuwaiti cuisine. The Briani, Grill Chicken, and Marquq are all must-tries, and the hospitality is second to none. If you're in the mood to explore new flavors and have a delightful dining experience, this is the place to be!
