Khayal 餐厅 - 吉达 - مطعم خيال 无人认领

Good ambience. The food was very tasty and feel fresh. The restaurant was maintained well. But the serving was not good. Once they served in the table very hard to find them.

Khayal: Arabic Fusion Delight recently had the pleasure of dining at Khayal, and I must say, it's a restaurant that excels in providing impeccable service and efficiency. Unfortunately we were left hanging for some time to be seated. However this was made up by the service provided by the table staff. Khayal offers a diverse menu, it's important to note that the cuisine isn't strictly Turkish, but rather a fusion of various Arabic influences. For starters, I ordered the Mixed Meze Platter, and it was a delightful treat. The combination of flavors and textures was a true feast for the senses. Moving on to the main course, I opted for the Mixed Platter, which included delectable Kibbeh, samosas, and a variety of grilled items. Among them, the beef awsal and the cheesy kebabs stood out as particularly outstanding. The Grilled Eggplant was cooked to perfection, and its taste was simply superb. What truly impressed me was the presentation of the dishes, as each one was visually appealing and well thought out. Overall, my experience with the food was enjoyable, though it's worth mentioning that the spice level was relatively low. We tried the Baklawa with Ice Cream. While it was decent, the true star was the soft Kunafah topped with coarse Kunafah and ice cream. The combination of textures and flavors was simply scrumptious. To top it all off, the complementary tea provided was a perfect 10 out of 10. In terms of rating, Khayal is 8.5 out of 10. The restaurant excels in service and efficiency, and their mixed platters and grilled items are truly delightful. However, the lack of authentic Turkish flavors might disappoint those seeking a more traditional culinary experience. Nevertheless, Khayal offers a unique fusion of Arabic cuisines, making it an intriguing choice for those looking to explore different flavors.

The food is amazingly delicious. We ordered Khayal Mix BBQ, spicy potato and Kunefe. Their service is great and quick. I’m only taking a star off for the toilets - they were extremely dirty!

This place was awesome. The food was delicious. Pomegranate juice was yummy. We got three half meter kabob platters with a bunch of other items and every single one of them was tasty.

Khayal is the best. The taste and service is always amazing. Slightly pricey but not more than other similar restaurants (plus they give free appetizers and after-dinner tea). Bonus marks for relative quiet and no music. Only thing I'd say is the seating could be a made a bit comfier and secluded.
