Al Boom, Seafood restaurant in أنجفة, Kuwait
Al Boom is a seafood restaurant in أنجفة, Kuwait, set inside a traditional dhow boat anchored along the waterfront and converted into a dining space. Guests can sit either inside the boat or out on the open deck, where the city skyline and the water are visible around them.
The restaurant opened in the early 1980s with the aim of preserving the design of a traditional dhow while creating a place to eat. It quickly became a familiar part of the local waterfront and has attracted both residents and visitors ever since.
Al Boom is housed inside a traditional dhow, a wooden boat once used for fishing and trade along the Gulf coast. The wooden details and nautical decorations inside give diners a sense of being connected to Kuwait's seafaring past while they eat.
Booking ahead is a good idea, especially on weekends or when visiting for a special occasion, as the outdoor deck fills up quickly. The cooler months make sitting outside more comfortable, while the inside of the boat is available year round.
Al Boom has a reputation as a place for proposals, and couples often request a specific table on the deck for that moment. The stillness of the water at night and the city lights in the background make the setting one that many guests describe long after their visit.
