The next time you’re looking for a nice breakfast, brunch or lunch spot but then remember you have kids, don’t despair, check out Emmawash.

They serve traditional Bahraini breakfasts in a fun casual atmosphere. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, and upstairs they have the traditional cushions on the floor (nice for letting kids have a little freedom).

The staff is friendly and love kids and you can watch how they make the traditional bread in a fire oven.

But the best part, the most fun part, is that as soon as you sit down, they hand the kids markers and let them run loose. The walls are covered in scribbles and signatures and drawings of all kinds. This means, at least in our case, parents might actually get a chance to eat before the food gets cold.

So check out their website at www.emmawash.com for hours and directions to one of their two locations. Then pack up the kids and head on over. And don’t forget to try the Karak tea; it’s delicious.
