Restaurant Takya - Terrasse Bujairi - Riyad Réclamer

If you're looking for a truly authentic Saudi dining experience, look no further than Takya. This restaurant offers a unique twist on traditional Saudi cuisine, presenting it in an international way that will leave you wanting more. The atmosphere at Takya is warm and inviting, with a beautiful decor that showcases the rich culture and heritage of Saudi Arabia. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, always willing to offer their expert advice on the best dishes to try. But of course, the real star of the show at Takya is the food. Each dish is prepared with care and attention, resulting in a flavor-packed experience that will leave your taste buds dancing. The ingredients are fresh and high-quality, and the presentation is truly stunning. One of the things that sets Takya apart from other Saudi restaurants is its international twist on traditional dishes.

Some standout dishes include the lamb kabsa, which is rich and flavorful with a perfect balance of spices, and the mutabbak, a savory pastry filled with spiced meat and vegetables. And don't forget the desserts - the basbousa is a must-try, with a moist and fluffy texture and a perfectly sweet flavor.

The combination of delicious food, beautiful decor, and friendly staff make it a must-visit for anyone in the area. Five stars, without a doubt!

Great concept and friendly service. Ask for Cyrill. He’s an amazingly friendly waiter. The food is fusion of traditional saudi cuisine offered in a modern format. Very enjoyable.

Fabulous service, gorgeous (traditional but modern) surroundings, wonderful olives (with marmelade and marinated in cinnamon!), fab yoghourt dip, brilliant salad with figs and goats cheese ... but unfortunately the rest of the food was really lacking in oomph (although lamb was super tender, as were the arancini-like balls etc). It may be my fault but even this high-end Saudi cuisine (so nicely chosen by the lovely head waiter) was not as tasty as some of the local lower end/street food. But a great experience! (even though one has an annoying registration process to get into the compound). 5 different kinds of bread which looked amazing (but sadly all tasteless). Beautiful coffee pot (but horrid Saudi coffee and horrid dates - to my taste), beautiful rose water dispenser to cleanse your hands after the meal. A feast for the eyes and nose.

The perfect option for Saudi food serves in a creative way. I have tried it 2019, and now, in Dec 2022, i am surprised at how it levelled up! I loved my second experience. As a Saudi, i was very satisfied and impressed with the dishes.

I love ballila but this one's gonna top it all. Contemporary fusion Saudi cuisine that didn't miss out out the true flavors.
