Fusions by Tala Manama

Fusions by Tala sits within the Gulf Hotel Bahrain, rising above the surrounding skyline. It holds the no. 8 spot on The World’s 50 Best MENA.

The restaurant serves international fusion cuisine, and the room runs smart and elegant. While many dining spots in Manama lean toward the heavy, traditional fare found near the Bab Al Bahrain Souq, Fusions by Tala relies on creative, lighter interpretations. It is a twenty-five-minute walk from the Al-Fatih Mosque, but the trek is rarely necessary when the menu moves so far beyond the city’s standard repertoire. Choosing this over the area’s more historic, tourist-heavy haunts is a commitment to precision; you sacrifice the proximity to the Bahrain National Museum for a kitchen that is consistently ranked among the best in the region.
