In my search for a good seafood restaurant in Khobar, I came across @como_rest that was highly rated on @googlemaps. @joys10dz wanted a venue for @elmaaug birthday dinner and this looked like that perfect place to host a party. Located opposite Gulf Building in Khobar Corniche, this place has separate dining sections for Singles &…

I have lost count on the number of times I’ve visited Nehari House in Al Khobar, but never managed to write about my experience on the blog. IT’S TIME TO CHANGE THAT. Over the last 7-8 years I have been a consistent patron, timing my visits during the winter months to enjoy what they are…

There is a new bistro in town, but unlike the others @bistrozone operates without a dine-in restaurant. With more and more people preferring to stay indoors and order in, @bistrozone has made a calculated risk and offer ‘Order & Pickup’ and deliver through @hungerstation @carriageksa & @talabatksa. ‘Bistro Zone’ got in touch with me to…

It was thanks to @nomanaksamia that we were invited to review @vanilleksa in the city of Al Khobar and joining us was @thefoodiemama.rin and @foodingmyselfaround. It had been a few months since I last saw them, no thanks to Covid-19. We were greeted by the Head Chef and author of his own book ‘The Islander…

Covid-19 has instilled a sense of fear and ‘The Villaggio’ was practically empty with a handful of people going about their business. We decided to try out ‘Le Cafe’s Wallflower’ for breakfast since this place was one of the few that had opened up. The ambience is welcoming and the design subtle and we quickly…

After months of being locked away thanks to Covid-19, it was liked being released from prison (No I have never been arrested / jailed) and the only person that seemed to have enjoyed staying indoors was my wife Sareeka. The downside of the curfew being lifted is that there is quite a lot of people…

Khobar was in dire need of a food destination like @ajdanwalk and ever since they opened, the crowds haven’t relented. There isn’t a time of day when this place isn’t crowded and that is thanks to the host of restaurants that opened up here. ‘Buffalo Wild Wings’ @bwwingsksa opened up here a little while ago…

‘Crab Avenue’ (@crabavenue.sa) is yet another seafood restaurant that has followed the trend of cooking seafood in oven bags with choice of sauces and over the last few months, Khobar has seen an explosion of these restaurants.

We were in for a real treat when we decided to dine at @carnival_sa. @foodingmyselfaround and I had visited a pop-up shop next door at ‘The Shed’ and since it was time for dinner, we walked straight into ‘Carnival Burger’.

If it hadn’t been for @foodingmyselfaround I would have totally missed out on authentic Hyderabadi food within walking distance of my flat. ‘Shimla Hayider Restaurant’ first opened over 30 years ago and changed locations over 9 years ago to Makkah street, Thoqbah. We headed over for lunch soon after noon prayers since we were told…

Though @bawabtdimashk had been operating in Khobar for quite some time, this was going to be my first visit to the restaurant. ‘Dimashq’ is the arabic name for Damascus and Syrian cuisine happens to be one my culinary favourites. We ordered the ‘Hummus with Meat’ (SR. 27), ‘Kofta with Cheese’ (SR. 30), ‘Kebab with Blueberry’…

I have never had the opportunity to experience ‘Greek Cuisine’ nor chanced upon an authentic Greek restaurant in the Eastern Province. All that changed when I was invited to attend the ‘Greek Food Festival’ at the Intercontinental Al Khobar. ‘Chef Emmanouil Kyriakidis’ is a well-known personality having been awarded the title of ‘Ambassador of Greek…

It has been a while (3 years) since I last visited @butchershopar and honestly i’m ashamed of myself. The food has always been great and my love affairs with the ‘Butcher Shop & Grill’ goes way back to 2009 when I first visited them at their outlet in Bahrain City Center. Since then, I have…

Located in the Ulaya district of Khobar, @brisket_sa is one of the many joints that opened up over the last year. Serving up American style BBQ, they have a very simple menu with some burgers, brisket and Ribs. The waiter who took my order wasn’t the friendliest and looked least interested in being there. I…

I had decided what my “cheat meal” was going to be this weekend, so I drove down to @thecuts_ksa to try out their #BlackGold menu. I had already decided on the “Black Gold Burger” (SR.60) well before I got there. Made with #Wagyu beef and topped with fried jalapeños, American cheese & fried mozzarella, matchstick…

I don’t think anyone had seen Food Trucks here in Saudi until a few years ago. The trend has since taken off and is doing well in the Sharqiya with numerous food trucks selling everything from Coffee to Philly Cheesesteak Sandwiches. Yes, you heard that right and this is not just a one-off. My last…

It’s hard to get Mac ‘n’ Cheese right. I know it isn’t a very complex dish nor is it rocket science, but most restaurant just can’t seem to get the combination right. NU by Bistro @nu_by_bistro has been around for little over a year or less in Auto Moto, Rakah and they have an interesting…
