Reviewing ‘The Great Wall’ Chinese Restaurant – Khobar / Jubail / Rastanura
The ‘Great Wall’ @greatwall.sa is a Chinese restaurant with branches in Rastanura and Jubail and thanks to Hala from @sharqiatales, I was invited to review their new branch.

Eating out during Ramadan at ‘Chick N Dip’ – Mall of Dhahran
I remember passing by @chickndipksa a few months ago at ‘Mall of Dhahran’ only to find it full to the brim and deciding that it wasn’t the best time to go for dine-in. Fast forward to Ramadan 2021, the restaurant had opened its doors for the day and with no one else in sight, we…

Soft Serve Icecream at ‘Branch Soft Serve’ – Dammam
Ordering an ice cream at ‘Branch Soft Serve‘ is not an easy task. The menu is in Arabic and the staff couldn’t explain the menu to us either. It would be great if they considered putting up an English menu but at the end of the day, the staff improvised and gave us samples to…

Kerala Restaurant in Thoqbah – ‘Welcome Family Restaurant’
With barely a few good ‘Family Friendly’ Kerala restaurant in Thoqbah, the opening of ‘Welcome Family Restaurant’ is quite welcome and necessary. Serving everything from the usual Porotta and beef to their special ‘Kappa Biriyani, we enjoyed our dine-in experience at this very new restaurant. There is not much of an ambience but the restaurant…

Spicier than average Spicy Broasted at ‘Broast Al Tazaj’, Dammam
As much as it saddens me to say this, I think I have finally experienced a better broasted than Kufa. Yes, I said it and @broasttazaj has gotten it right on most fronts. It was thanks to @joys10dz that I got to try this lovely broasted a few weeks ago and all credit got to…

Pakistani Food since 1985 at ‘Marhaba Restaurant’ – Khobar / Jeddah / Riyadh
I can’t quite remember when I first visited ‘Marhaba Restaurant’ (@marhabasa) in Khobar. But upon my return to the kingdom in 2009, I have dined at the restaurant frequently thanks to the numerous company parties my department has hosted here. They have always maintained a certain standard when it comes to their food and I…

A Birthday Party at ‘Century Cuisine’ – Khobar
I have had @century.cuisine on my list of restaurants to visit for the longest time and it was purely by chance that I got invited to a special birthday dinner for @ancel_bernard by @joys10dz and @elmaaug and whenever @theovenaffairs is involved, you know there is cake that’s going to steal the show. The interiors aren’t…

‘The Cuts’ in Dammam – A Full Course Meal
It has been long since I last visited @thecuts_ksa and we found the perfect excuse to change that.

Every Recipe has a Story at ‘The Pantry’ – Al Khobar
I have had @pantryksa on my list of restaurants to visit and today felt like the right day, considering it’s been two years since @shareeka23 and I got married. With that in mind, we headed there for lunch. Parking is a bit hard to find with a cafe right next door which is also quite…

Lunch Date at ‘Cheesecake Factory’ – Ajdan Walk, Khobar
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…

The Spicy Wing Challenge at ‘Buffalo Wild Wings’, Ajdan Walk – Khobar
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…

“Brisket” – BBQ Ribs, Al Khobar
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…

Where to go for “Burgers” in the Eastern Province, Saudi Arabia
Burgers were an alien concept to Saudi Arabia, but that changed dramatically with the emergence of fast food joints in the Kingdom. Beginning in the late 80’s, early 90’s to the Burger craze that the citizens of the kingdom are currently experiencing, it has become a household favourite with both kids and adult equally cherishing…
