“The khubz here is the essential vehicle for their famous loomi tikka; it is thin, bubbly, and perfect for wrapping meat.”
Best Tikka Bahraini
in Manama
Bahraini Tikka (Loomi Tikka) is distinctive for its use of dried black lime (loomi) in the marinade, giving the meat a unique tangy and slightly smoky flavor. It is typically served with fresh Khubz (bread) and a pile of greens. Order it **"Tikka Loomi"** (Black Lime Tikka). The trap is tikka that is "dry" or missing the lime tang; a real Bahraini tikka should be charred on the outside, juicy on the inside, and have a clear, sharp citrus finish. Expect to pay 1.5–3 BHD per dozen skewers.
