Many consider this to be the premier Arabian restaurant in the city, serving a range of Middle Eastern and North African dishes in an elegant yet casual setting.
Dining
Dining out is one of the favourite pastimes in Riyadh. The typical Saudi diet consists of a range of pulses such as rice, bulgur wheat, lentils, or chickpeas (hummus) served with grilled/barbecued meats such as lamb or chicken and the obligatory pita bread. Note that the restaurants in Riyadh are segregated. However, there are family facilities where married couples can dine together.
