There are very few who wouldn’t know who @jamieoliver is and I can count myself a fan since ‘Jamie’s School Dinners’. It came as a huge surprise when I heard Jamie had launched an @jamiesitaliangcc outlet at Al Nakheel Mall in Dammam and we had the perfect excuse to visit them this weekend, Ancel’s Birthday. …

I can’t remember the last time I woke up early over the weekend for breakfast but that’s what happened the day we visited @dukkanwtarweeqa in Dammam.

Calling all ‘CHICKEN’ obsessed foodies in the Khobar / Dammam area, say Hello to @hen.ksa. It is hard to miss this restaurant when you are on Pepsi road thanks to the loud yellow signage. I have been getting quite a few messages to try this place out so that’s exactly what I did. I have…

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…

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…

The best of food is sometimes found in places least expected and the ‘Modon Alam Restaurant’ locally called the ‘Truck Hotel’ is one of those joints.

Being part of the Giveaway was one of the best things that happened to me this year and it’s thanks to the giveaway that I came across ‘Bakeology by Shifa Kazi’. I won some delicious ‘Home Made Sauces’ then and since then I have had her on my list of ‘Home Made Chefs’ in the…

Over the last 2-3 years there has been a surge of restaurants opening up that serve up ‘Seafood Boil’. Seafood like Shrimp, Crab and Lobster are cooked in large oven bags packed with a spicy rub mix and leftover veggies, in this case ‘Corn’ and left to stew. From Shrimp Anatomy to Shrimpail and Pound…

The first time I got to taste @sajis_bakery and her treats was when I won a giveaway that @elmaaug and other bloggers organised a few months ago. I remember finishing off the snacks in record time and since then, it has stayed in the back of my mind. It wasn’t until @shareeka23 wanted some of…

I have only tried Koshari and Hawawshi before and my exposure to Egyptian cuisine was limited. I absolutely love Koshari for it’s simplicity and how nutritious it can be and here at @heliopolis_1 we were in for an absolute feast. We were invited by @heliopolis_1 thanks to @nomanaksamia and together with @foodingmyselfaround and @shareeka23 we…

It has been long since I last visited @thecuts_ksa and we found the perfect excuse to change that. It was @foodingmyselfaround birthday and he invited us to dinner where I offered to use my @entertainersa app to avail the ‘Main Course’ deal. We were joined by @joys10dz and @elmaaug and you know what they say,…

We had initially planned on visiting another restaurant before we decided to try @grillshacksa instead. The only way you are getting let in here is when they open the door for you and check your temperature. They have strictly adhered to the Social Distancing guidelines and have done a good job enforcing it. The menu…

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…

You think you know a place, only to find that you never did. That’s what happened to me when I found out about an ‘Uighur Chinese Restaurant’ in Dhahran. I was taken by surprise when one of my mates brought this up in a Whatsapp group chat and since then i’ve had my sights set…

Tamu’ (@tamuksa) has been on my shortlist ever since I purchased @entertainersa for the Eastern Province 2020. I had never heard of this restaurant before nor had I seen reviews for this joint from other food bloggers in Sharqiya. It was only fair I take my wife @shareeka23 on a date night and avail the…

The last time I ate at Golden Spoon was around 2014, so there isn’t much I remember about the food. Along with @foodingmyselfaround, @theovenaffairs, @joys10dz and lil Emira we decided to sit in the singles section since there was nothing stopping us from doing so. The menu is quite extensive and ranges from Indian, Pakistani…

It had been a while since I last caught up with my mate’s @amitajk & @nickyphil. By the time we met, I was absolutely starved so Amit recommended we try out this recently opened food joint called “True Food Experts” (@t.fex.sa). I had never heard of the place before so we headed straight to the…

I finally got to meet the newly married couple (It’s been a year almost) @dheerajnair89 and foodie wife @onehungrymallu and what better way to celebrate than to visit a place you had only heard of but never been to. The “Blue Strawberry Restaurant” in Rezayat Village was a place my ex-boss frequented and which I’ve…
