Assaraya was introduced to me by my husband as I am new to the country. I have been here on 2 occasions and I did not leave disappointed.
We are a family of 5, 3 kids and 2 adults. The menu offered a variety of dishes which made ordering for picky kids quite easy.
We ordered a mix grill, chicken, fries and an appetiser of baba ghanoush with the turkish bread.
We ordered a few different drinks to sample which was affordable accompanied with our water which was cheap.
Every dish was delicious and tasy especially the mixed grill. The chops was soft and succulent and reminded me of home.
We ordered a big portion of fries which we were surprised to see that it was actually the size of a single serving.
The fries were served with tomato sauce (ketchup) and their homemade garlic sauce which is the BEST garlic sauce I have ever had in Riyadh. You can taste that it was prepared in-house with fresh garlic. It has the consistency and texture of a soft paste. On both occasions I asked to take the sauce home :)
The staff were friendly and hospitable and we loved that they offered dining behind a curtain for extra privacy for myself and my daughters.
The food was served fast and quick which is a bonus for hungry diners.
Assaraya is definitely one of our favourite restaurants in Riyadh and will see us more often.
