Feeding Faith : Restaurant Focuses on Majlis Orders
TDT | Manama
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.'
