My love affair with Cocos goes back a loooooong way. I was perhaps in my early twenties when I first ventured in through those hallowed portals and had a life-changing experience!
And the dish that changed my life was the Fish tandoori. White fish and saffron rice drenched in that lovely tandoori sauce that changes colour with a splash of lemon. It smells as appetising as it looks! the salad is the thing I get through first - to be able to concentrate on the main thing! The hot rice with the sauce and fish! I recommend the Strawberry-mint-lime smoothie to go with it. The combination is divine - the tastes complement each other so well!
I love it so much that I have been having the same dish for the last ten years, every single time I go there! And I take all my friends, if they are new to Bahrain or are visiting, there for a meal. And yup! we end up trying the same thing.
Not to say that other dishes are not good but on the rare occasion I have been there and tried something else, I feel like I have cheated on a loved one. the only thing I add to this combo occasionally is the Chocolate Crepe with Ice cream... that just rounds up the entire experience nicely!
Oh! and I also like the mushroom soup but in the bread bun, without it, the soup has no appeal for me, for some reason.
So next time you go to Cocos - do order my favourites and think of me!
