The Ramadan spirit has engulfed the island with all its warmth and splendour, and adding to its charm, one of Bahrain’s much-loved restaurants – My Café has welcomed the holy month with its signature Oud Nights. This yearly pop-up blends exceptional culinary delights, soulful live music, and an atmosphere that captures the spirit of Ramadan, promising a magical experience for every guest.
At the heart of Oud Nights is an exciting culinary journey. Each Ramadan, My Café introduces a brand-new, meticulously curated menu, offering fresh interpretations of traditional dishes, creating a feast designed to surprise and delight.
Among this year’s highlights is the succulent Lamb Shakriya, a dish that beautifully balances tradition with innovation. Tender lamb meets a creamy labneh yoghurt sauce, enhanced by aromatic parsley garlic butter, served alongside comforting vermicelli rice—a dish both nostalgic and refreshingly new.
Equally intriguing is the Cherry Wagyu Meatballs, a Syrian-inspired treat featuring delicately seasoned wagyu meatballs complemented by a tangy cherry cinnamon sauce, crispy pita bread, pickled cherries, and labneh garlic dip. This elegantly inventive dish will certainly impress even the most discerning palate.
Adding further excitement is the New York Roll Slider, a playful take on classic flavours. Featuring homemade puff pastry wrapped around succulent wagyu beef and mushroom spread, served with golden fries, it perfectly marries East and West in a delightfully unexpected bite.
For dessert enthusiasts, the Qahwa Brûlée Cheesecake promises a sweet finale. Infused with aromatic traditional Arabic coffee and nestled atop a crunchy almond biscuit base, this cheesecake adds just the right note of indulgence.
Oud Nights offers more than just delightful flavours—it presents a sensory experience through soulful live music. Throughout the week, skilled musicians take to the stage, playing the oud, guitar, and organ.
Their gentle melodies fill My Café, enveloping diners in an atmosphere of tranquillity and warmth that beautifully complements the essence of Ramadan.
The atmosphere at Oud Nights is further elevated by My Café’s carefully curated Ramadan décor. Soft lighting, elegant traditional touches, festive accents, and the breezy evening atmosphere transform the café into a welcoming space reminiscent of intimate family gatherings and joyful celebrations. Guests will feel an immediate sense of warmth, community, and festive cheer.
Whether you come for the enticing menu, the captivating melodies, or the inviting ambience, Oud Nights at My Café offers an experience that celebrates Ramadan’s true spirit. It’s a perfect opportunity to gather with friends and family, savour delicious food, and enjoy soulful music in a beautifully transformed setting.
