Haji's Cafe

The Timeless Taste of Authentic Bahraini Hospitality.

Located in the famous Manama Souq, Haji Cafe is a must for all visitors to Bahrain who want a taste of the authentic Bahraini cuisine and hospitality. Open since 1950s, this iconic cafe is a hit with royalty, world-class chefs, sports stars and celebrities.

Born in 1950, the restaurant, literally wedged between two buildings, offers a simple yet inviting ambiance. White canvas awnings stretch across the parallel walls, providing shade for the fuss-free tables and benches. From these seats, guests can observe the bustling kitchen, where a glowing brick furnace churns out piping hot khaboos(Arabic bread), nearly the size of dinner plates.

Haji Cafe offers an authentic Bahraini dining experience. With no fixed menu, the daily offerings vary, ranging from traditional breakfasts to hearty grills and the signature machboos. The generous portions and simple, flavourful dishes reflect the warmth of Bahraini hospitality. The friendly staff and inviting atmosphere further enhance the dining experience.
