There’s a new ramen spot in town and it’s everything you would want it to be.
Ramenara, the love child of Ramenaki – a seasonal ramen pop up that took Bahrain by storm – has now got a permanent home. On the corner of an office tower in Seef, with large windows and easy parking. Ramenara gives diners a refreshing and new spot to go eat out.
For now it is open for dinner and delivery only, but will open for lunch & breakfast in a few months time.
My highlights:
- perfectly laid back, cool interiors
- lighting on point (ladies of a certain age, we appreciate this 😁)
- menu packed with ramen options (beef, vegan, seafood…)
- starters which celebrate vegetables
- refreshing & creative mocktails
- fair prices
Great job to the Ramenara team, I look forward to making this a regular haunt.
December 2025: Update
What the Owner Orders
When in doubt, I always want to know what the person behind the restaurant eats when they sit down as a diner.
So here it is, Pav’s standard order at Ramenara:
- Hamachi crudo
- Pickled cucumbers (large)
- Chicken karaage with aioli
- Dumplings
- Old Money double noodles, plus extra prawn wonton
Dessert:
A large Greek yoghurt ice cream with a side of miso caramel.
If you’re ordering for the table (or feeling indecisive), this is a very solid way to do it. Sometimes the best guide to a menu is the person who built it!
