Middle Eastern to South Asian at ‘Taya Restaurant’ – Al Khobar & Jubail
Visiting ‘Taya Restaurant’ @altaya_ksa for lunch on a working day was a moment of spontaneity. We were the 1st visitors for the day and since they only open at 12pm, you will have to wait for prayer time to end before they open for service. We didn’t waste time with the menu and you shouldn’t…

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…

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…

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…

Local Jizani Cuisine at ‘Dar al Khayma’ – Jazan, Saudi Arabia
Before I kick off this review, is it Jizan, Jazan or Gizan? I still haven’t decided how I’m going to spell this city and I’m not going to try either. Work took me to Jazan and this was my first visit to the capital of the Jizan region. I’ve heard a lot about the food…

Middle Eastern Cuisine at ‘The Lighthouse Restaurant’ – Kozhikode, Kerala
The Lighthouse Restaurant in Calicut (@tlhcalicut) scores some major points in terms of its location and design.

We took…

Eating Local in Phuket – ‘Briley Chicken and Rice’
Phuket is a wonderful place for a holiday, but with the crowds comes the plastic waste and rubbish, but one thing that hasn’t changed is the FOOD.

Parsi Cuisine at ‘SodaBottleOpenerWala’ – Khan Market, New Delhi
I had never been to a Parsi restaurant in my life and didn’t know what to expect. The name “Sodabottleopenerwala” was an ingenious way of grabbing someone’s attention, but then I came to realise that most Parsi’s had really cool surnames. Located in the upscale Khan Market, then place was quite easy to spot among…
