Birthday Celebrations at ‘The Cuts’ – Dammam
It has been long since I last visited @thecuts_ksa and we found the perfect excuse to change that.

We were joined by @joys10dz and @elmaaug and you know what they say, […]

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 […]

‘Tamu’ Experimental Kitchen Extraordinaire – As Safa, Dammam
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 […]

Indian / Pakistani Food at ‘Golden Spoon Restaurant’ – Dammam
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 […]

Getting Messy at ‘Pound of Prawns’ – Al Khobar
Everything here starts with a pound, be it Prawns, Crab, Lobster or Mussel and it is recommended you visit with a group of friends. It has only been a few months since this place opened up in Khobar and has been highly rated and reviewed by locals on @googlemaps. We hit the joint over the […]

‘Christmas at the D’Souza’s’ – Tis the Season to Be Jolly
It had been years since I last celebrated Christmas in Saudi Arabia. Christmas was usually spent in Bahrain, feasting on Christmas lunch and beer.

Dining in at ‘Tokuzo’ Japanese Restaurant – Dhahran
I was recently invited by @mytokuzo in Dhahran to try out their menu and I happily accepted considering there are very few Japanese restaurants that I know of in the Sharqiya.

Chinese Comfort Food at “David’s Stir Fry Crazy” in Adliya & Riffa, Bahrain
I’ve heard only good things about “David’s Stir Fry Crazy”, but I never had the opportunity to visit this much talked about joint in Adliya, Bahrain.

-
“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 […]

“The Cheesecake Factory” – The Avenues, Bahrain
Don’t let the name fool you. “The Cheesecake Factory” is well known for its food and what its named after (Cheesecake). It can get really crowded over the weekends so it would be best if you made it an hour before lunchtime. The “Chicken Madeira & Steak Diane” (BD 12.350) from their Factory Combinations menu […]

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 […]

Philly Cheese Steak from ‘Streat’ Food Truck – Khobar
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 […]

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 […]

Mix Grill Paradise at ‘Ayam Zaman’ in Qatif
As always, deciding on what to eat when you are out with friends is one of the hardest decisions to make. We wanted to try something new, and I had a Keto diet to follow so we decided we should visit a grill joint. That is when I remembered my friend and colleague, Amir Viqar […]

Mandi Waleema from ‘Qatif Hospitality Palace’ – Qatif
I have lived in Saudi long enough to try different varieties of Mandi, both meat and chicken and the one mandi that I always fall back on is the irresistible “Mandi Waleema” (SR.105) from “Qateef Hospitality Palace”. No other place has gotten close to perfecting the meat & rice combination like they have. A lil’ […]

The race for the best Thai restaurant in Khobar is fought between Thai House, Phuket and this restaurant that I visited today, Phu Pink.

Dammamiyah Kabsa at “Teef Madhinah Restaurant”, Dammam
The best part of having locals for friends are the restaurants you get to visit that you wouldn’t have known about otherwise. I have been living in Saudi Arabia for quite some time.

Roma Castle Restaurant – Dammam
Roma has always been a safe bet and happens to be one of our favourite turkish joints in the EP. Located near Al Shira mall in Dammam, it is absolutely impossible to find a parking spot on the weekends so we usually head there on the weekdays. Serving some of the best grilled food in […]

Thai Cuisine at ‘Phuket Restaurant’, Al Khobar
Now good Thai food is quite hard to find in Saudi Arabia. You don’t have many Thai’s working in Saudi Arabia thanks to a series of incidents but we are not here to talk about that. Phuket Restaurant to me, has to be the best Thai restaurant around. I was quite a big fan of […]

Asian Fusion food at ‘Fushi Restaurant’, Al Khobar
The Fushi Restaurant Facebook page describes their food style as Asian Fusion. We decided to go ahead and find out for ourselves as to how good this place was and what this asian fusion was all about. Being the greedy “foodaholics” that we were, we decided to order a few items off their menu which looked interesting. […]
