A part of the BMMI Group, this supermarket is known to deliver premium quality products at great value and to uphold its socially responsible reputation by giving back to the community at every opportunity. Specific areas in the supermarket will be stocked with products that can be given to families in need this Holy Month. These include sugar, rice and cooking oil, amongst other staple cooking necessities consumed during Ramadan. Customers are encouraged to purchase these products and donate them to charity by dropping them into the large baskets found by the entrances of their stores located in Saar and Amwaj, which currently operate the food drive. The baskets are supplied by the Rotoract Club of Bahrain and are picked up regularly by The Palm Association, who then put together food parcels. These are then delivered to the families in need.

Arabian Flavours This restaurant chain is set to add a new dining concept to its selection of venues. We speak to the general manager about what to expect from Bayti. WTM: We hear Bahrain Family Leisure Company has launched a new restaurant. Could you give us a few details about the venue? Peter Lyons (PL), general manager of BFLC: Bayti features a mix of Jordanian, Egyptian, Lebanese and Bahraini dishes. One of the main things setting it apart from other restaurants is the menu, which describes the dishes — a feature you don’t usually get in a lot of Arabic dining venues. Bayti is located near the Bahrain Financial Harbour. So in the daytime, we’re quite busy with the office crowd. We run a buffet operation for breakfast and lunch. After sunset, Bayti turns into a destination restaurant. It moves to an à la carte menu in the evening, boasting contemporary Middle Eastern cuisine. We’ve taken traditional dishes from around the region and given them a modern twist. WTM: Describe the dining experience at Bayti. PL: It’s a chef-driven restaurant. We’ve a display kitchen; there’s going to be a lot of show going on. A highlight of the restaurant is ‘the gourmet shawarma’. You have a selection of breads and different fillers to choose from. Bayti’s interior showcases a number of chef-driven foods from our display kitchen, offering all in-house produced dishes crafted for the Arab, expatriate and tourist clientele alike. Bayti is sure to become a destination restaurant in the near future. WTM: Name one thing that every guest should try at Bayti. PL: We do a chocolate shawarma! This isn’t a combination of chocolate and beef; it is a vertical slab of chocolate that we shave off. The shavings are served onto a chocolate pita bread, with chocolate sauce and various other ingredients, making it a full dessert. It’s very visual! Call 17 292-973.
