Almajles Al Khaleeji Restaurant - Riyadh Unclaimed

this place mixes traditional and modern life. the building is beautiful. the seating has a variety of choices from open air traditional floor seating to a private closed room seating. the food was very reasonably priced the portions were extremly large. we tried the chicken saleeq, chicken kalbi, goat mandi, mixed samboosa, saudi arabic coffee. please note that pictures are of the appetizers. next time I will take more pics, last time I was too hungry to care, and the food was soo good

This was our first traditional meal in Saudi Arabia as expats. From the moment we walked in we knew it was going to be good because there were lots of locals also having lunch. Our waiter (Armando I think) spoke English and helped us choose what to get. We ended up with the banquet which was an absolute feast. We had so much food and everything was delicious. The combination of the food and atmosphere was absolutely authentic and we couldn’t have enjoyed it more. Great value for money too, for the amount of food we had. We will definitely come again!

Very nice restaurant. The ambiance and arrangements are very attractive. It is a mixture of some arab countries foods, like Bahrain, oman, Kuwait , UAE etc.. The welcoming is very comfortable and friendly. Staffs are good in communication. We no need to wait and queue for the payment. They will come to our majlis and do the payment. Majlis are very clean. Both male and female bathrooms are available. Two toilets for each rest rooms. Elevator is available. Bachelor sections is down and family is on the top. Food are little expensive but it has a authentic taste. The menu is available in the room with a QR code. But menu is in arabic. If we need anything a bell is enough. Different from other restaurant: A mirror is available in each majlis, most of the majlis has a window, shoe rack available for each rooms, TV area, waste bin inside majlis, charger plugs inside majlis. Enough parking spaces available in the front of the restaurant.

So this is a very very traditional Middle Eastern/Saudi restaurant. One must eat in private rooms, with wall to wall carpets and cushions against the walls. The interior is very rustic and gives you a desert feel in the heart of the city - which is super cool. There are flags of all ME nations on the walls. The duty manager when we went told us he was Syrian and made us feel super comfortable and proved himself to be an amazing host. The host was super knowledgeable about the menu and helped us choose our order (menu online is not in English). All the dishes we ordered were exactly what we wanted and expected. The place is very clean and these people know what they are doing. We went here because we noticed it many times driving past it as well as it’s google maps rating of 3.9 out of 14k reviews. The food is not expensive but it isn’t cheap either, but the portion size is handsome so one dish is sufficient for two/three people. Hashi (camel rice) is super popular here therefore most places run out by 8pm - so if that’s what you want, best to go early in the evening. Cheers!
