Located in a busy parade of shops, this modern restaurant offers so much more than first appears. The place is stylishly designed with low level seating and a contemporary feel. The comforting dishes are traditional Saudi, using recipes from the past, and they won’t break the bank. Flavourful Hijazi cuisine is at the forefront with plates such as the meat brik, a delicious pie made with a glossy pastry stuffed with meat and topped with honey – perfect for sharing.

Accessed via the main entrance of the shimmering Shangri-La Jeddah, with the fabulous terrace being the first thing that grabs your attention on arrival. The space is huge, with great views of the Red Sea. Inside, it’s all set around the central, traditionally styled domed oven, with a few private cabins also available. The menu is extensive, and offers an appealing mix of Lebanese dishes, some traditional, others with a modern makeover alongside numerous signature dishes. The flavours and textures are excellent, especially the kebabs. Bespoke mocktails add to the all-round experience.

This all-day eatery specialises in carefully prepared Middle Eastern and Saudi plates. Inside, the restaurant is simple yet with a warm and homely feel. The dishes are unique and well-flavoured, with Saudi ingredients at the forefront. Their mezze platters are made to share when you’re in a large group, and some noteworthy dishes are the Laban Setto and the sticky date pudding – all fairly priced.
