Feeding Faith : Restaurant Focuses on Majlis Orders
As Bahrain marks the sacred days of Ashura, one restaurant is ensuring no mourner goes unfed.
The management of Manaeesh Jubran announced that it will continue taking food orders for majlis gatherings and Husseini mourning rituals on the 9th and 10th of Muharram.
These services extend its outreach that began at the start of the Ashura season and reflect a commitment to serve during a time of deep cultural and spiritual reflection.
Branches Mobilised
Teams at the Jannusan and Ras Rumman branches have been working at full capacity to meet the surge in demand. Both branches have reported a rapid pace of operations throughout the week, with logistical teams mobilised to ensure timely readiness for scheduled deliveries.
Mr. Hussein Shabib, Deputy Manager of the Jannusan branch, said the public's response has been overwhelming.
He announced that its indoor dining halls will remain closed on the 9th and 10th of Muharram, with operations focused solely on food preparation and deliveries to mourning venues.
Orders are being coordinated directly with customers, who have been advised to call 17323217 to book slots or confirm requirements for majlis and funeral arrangements.
Spirit of Service
The 9th and 10th of Muharram are among the most solemn dates in Bahrain's religious calendar.
During Muharram, many Bahraini families organise free food distributions known as mawakib, serving thousands of mourners daily at gatherings and processions. Families often organise or support free food drives in honour of Imam Hussein's martyrdom, reinforcing traditions of selflessness and solidarity.
Manaeesh Jubran's decision to dedicate its kitchens to the occasion positions the restaurant not just as a business, but as a cultural and community partner.
'We are proud of the high turnout, which reflects the spirit of giving and generosity within the community during this season,' he said. 'We appreciate customers' trust and understanding of the operational conditions associated with the peak period. We continue to work to enhance the level of service and avoid any unintended delays.'

Launched under the slogan 'Sustainable through your efforts', the campaign brought together the Capital Municipality, Gulf City Cleaning Company, municipal council members, and leaders of matams and mourning centres. The efforts focused on preserving environmental standards and elevating public services in line with the season's spiritual significance. Field visits completed Director General Eng. Mohammed Saad Al-Sahli led inspection visits to several mourning centres and procession locations in the Capital Governorate. He was joined by MP Ahmed Sabah Salman Al-Salloum, Municipal Council Chairman Eng. Saleh Tarada, and other senior officials. The teams reviewed cleanliness measures, site readiness, and coordination mechanisms in place to ensure smooth operations during the religious events. They also met organisers and supervisors to assess local needs and reinforce safety standards. Al-Sahli emphasised that sustainability is not limited to environmental protection, but also encompasses civic values and public responsibility. Awareness and action The municipality had earlier conducted coordination meetings with representatives of mourning centres and civic partners to launch the campaign. Awareness drives encouraged residents to participate in waste sorting, reduce plastic use, and maintain the cleanliness of religious sites. 'This year, the campaign elevated sustainability beyond just waste management. It became a message about conscious citizenship,' Al-Sahli said. Council Chairman Eng. Saleh Tarada highlighted the strength of community partnerships as a pillar of municipal work, calling the cooperation between the municipality and funeral organisers a model for future initiatives. The Capital Municipality credited the success of this year's Ashura observance to the collective efforts of residents, volunteers, and partner agencies.
