For the best kimchi pancakes: Manna Land

For the best tailor: Dreamgirls Tailor
These guys are Satwa’s superheroes – there isn’t anything Dreamgirls can’t make or fix. Like a designer dress? Snap a picture, send it to them and they’ll make it for you for a fraction of the price! The only disadvantage is that they can get super busy, especially around Diwali (October to November) or wedding season (September – February).
For the best manakish: Al Mallah
Al Mallah’s cheese garlic manakish is one of those things you can never have enough of – it has been a Satwa staple for years, and it will just never get old. Fresh bread with hot melted cheese and topped with garlic paste.. yep, we’re already drooling.
