Al Boom: Don't forget your free ship's nail
This is a unique restaurant in design, location, theme and format. It is located inside the SAS Radisson complex which like many other high end hotels in Kuwait has an armed security force and vehicle inspection before you enter. Once you park your massive American made SUV in the parking spots made for a Suzuki Jeep you walk a 100 meters or so until you see a big ol' dhow sitting inside a breakwater.The dhow is the Al Boom and it is the world's largest dhow. Now keep in mind that a dhow is a coastal craft and is not suited for the high seas. It has a shallow draft and rolls like a seashell in the surf. This one was built for ceremonial purposes but it makes a really cool restaurant.You go inside and they sit you at a table that has a number. You take the menu card they provide and literally check off the number of the meal you want whether it is Hammour (Grouper), steak, chicken, etc....
