10 Try Bahraini sweets
Bahraini halwa is a typical Middle Eastern sweet that goes with tea or strong Arabic coffee. For more than a hundred years, the Jawal Showaiter family has been producing several varieties of halwa spiced with nuts, cardamom, and nutmeg. Other local sweets include pistachio filled baklava, kunafa, a kind of noodle cheesecake with sugar syrup, and luqaymat, which are fried dough balls that are especially popular at the end of Ramadan and during other celebrations.
