BIC, Sakhir – Bahrain International Circuit (BIC), ‘The Home of Motorsport in the Middle East’, has teamed up with popular Bahraini restaurant Villa Mamas by Roaya Saleh to bring a taste of Bahrain cuisine to Formula 1 fans in the UK.
As part of BIC’s sales and promotion stand at last weekend’s British Grand Prix, Villa Mamas by Roaya Saleh held a food-sampling experience throughout the race weekend at Silverstone. Race-goers were treated to a number of popular delicacies that included both traditional food and drink as well as modern Middle Eastern delights, freshly prepared by Villa Mamas by Roaya Saleh exclusively for the event.
Roaya Saleh is a celebrated Bahraini culinary visionary and pioneer of Khaleeji cuisine and has successfully elevated traditional Gulf flavours to a global audience, establishing a presence in Bahrain, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh, and London. With a philosophy centred on using fresh, locally sourced ingredients, Roaya’s menus offer a rich tapestry of flavours, blending influences from Iran, India, and Europe. Her innovative approach has earned her a reputation as a leading figure in the culinary world, dedicated to preserving and promoting the unique culinary traditions of the Gulf.
The food tasting was part of a promotion which aimed to offer a flavour of what to expect from a Bahrain Grand Prix experience to the 480,000 fans who attended over the weekend in the UK.
