Cinema Akil is a hidden gem located in Al Serkal Avenue. It was my first time watching a movie here and I must say I loved and enjoyed the experience. They play quality films that can be watched here only. It’s a cute little setup with comfortable couches and cinema type seating. If you are looking for a good watch, this is your cinema. They have refreshments by the amazing Project Chaiwala as well.
We watched an old film and had a great time! Loved the old retro cinema vibes! But please make sure to come early because there are no ads and the film starts right away, we were 10 minutes late and didn’t have time to get snacks and properly choose our seats since it was already lights out .
Good programming. Lovely cafe with delicious food. Seating area outside where you can conveniently wait to meet up with your party. Perfect place to catch up on indie films, classics (old and new), and filmmaker retrospectives. Highly recommended for the #21stcenturyfilmstudent. Knowledge is power.

Helpful Review 5No open-mouthed pop-corn eaters that ruin the first 60 minutes of the movie.
Good cafe.
Book beforehand.
