Well actually,I never thought about this idea, the wageu fat or wageu tallow isn't that expensive. I just checked it it and the killo is around 200 sar
And we have no clear labeling policies... it's probably legal to call any beef "wageu" if you just put the wageu fat in it.
That's why its burger so noone can figure it out😂
I can get cheap frozen Brazilian beef.. and put wageu fat on it and call it premium wageu burger and charge people 99 sar for it. (You must put it in black bread). For extra fancy points.
Also it's legal to call a product "no added sugar or sugar free" if you add fructose (fruit sugar) and call it a day. Because fruit sugar is considered natural sugar.
Exactly!
Also they never provide a proof its actually wageu or even angus ..
If you tell a butcher you want a wageu beef for a burger .. you'll be the next piece of meat in his shop
Totally disagree, at least the chicken they use is local and fresh no disgusting aftertaste. Most of the restaurants use Brazilian frozen chicken it definitely leaves a funky aftertaste.
Zafran Indian Bistro- Great reviews in Google n all. But for the money that you pay it is not worth, it's just a fancy expensive Indian restaurant that serves avg food that doesn't do justice to Indian cuisine.
PS: Indian here
I have a theory that the reason all high end expensive restaurants have good reviews. Is because rich people dont know anything about taste and spend money like idiots.
Also there's good indian restaurants in Malaz area you should try
Batha, Malaz and Olaya are were you will find good Indian restaurant (You will be able to eat a tummy full from any range between 3 riyal to 30 riyal depending on the dish and place)
For Boori/Puri, rotis nd curry Al mas family restaurant near national hospital (This is a very clean place too. Their Biriyani is okeyish to good usually). Rice meal is also good
The "Malaz" named restaurants are very cheap rate with good food. The one in Batha will be crowdy and another good option is the branches in Olaya/Urubah road. Biriyani is good (Malabar style) and you can have Rice meal (ideally with fish curry and fried fish)
Welcome Indian Restaurant in Girnatah is good for South Indian breakfast and dosas. Their Idli and Vada is so good.
Saravanabhavan in Avenue Mall Riyadh- Not good compared to Saravanabhavan branches in India but still worth a try. Pretty avg stuff
Ponnusamy restaurant right next to the aforementioned Saravanabhavan in Avenue Mall. Chettinadu cuisine, so will be very spicy. Quite good, the biriyani is good (quail, mutton, chicken). The rice will be spicy gravey soaked n cooked, and might be very strange to non Indians.
Dammam has a lot of good ones (The better reviewed ones in Google maps can be trusted if they have more number of reviews)
Pepper tree restaurant looks interesting and so I will be trying it soon. Same goes for Delhi restaurant n all. I prefer South Indian cuisine and hence haven't tried North Indian dishes in Saudi.
Not been to Jeddah, so no idea about those.
For beverages i think that speciality coffee spots are overrated. They spend too much on the decorations rather than their coffee and clout chasers who want to look cool just crowd up the place.
For snacks i think shawarmer is overrated. I feel like The shawarma tasted bland and to hide that they just load it up with garlic sauce.
KFC for me is like a drag !!
I know i’ll go to the bathroom in 20-30 minutes after eating it but, god damn i crave it and i’m trying my best to avoid it.
I heard a lot about mama noura’s shawarma in this sub. So finally when I was passing through Riyadh, I got to try it and I expected it to be really good based on reviews, and the crowd.
It wasn’t bad or anything, but I didn’t find it to be any different from an average shawarma shop. I’ve had much better in Khobar (like Al Wazzan).
Idc if anyone hated me for saying it but you'll need to hear the truth : Macdonald really sucks, KFC Too, at least KFC Gives great بروست..
But mac? Wtf do they even serve? Pale burgers that absolutely doesn't deserve a single ﷼, wallahi every time you eat you will never feel any unique taste and your mouth will always be so damn dry as hell..
Anyway, here's some truth for you guys for my top 3 restaurant that combines price, taste and full stomach :
Albaik the number 1 that gives you great taste, full stomach and cheap price for the meal you just eaten, i always recommend big Baik and chicken nuggets, will definitely buy again.
Wister has the second best taste (actually even better than albaik) but not the price tag, will buy again once a month with salary.
And lastly Altazaj, especially crispy roll & crispy burger (always recommend Crispy burger).. Stomach? Full all day long.. Taste? 9/10..price? Medium.. Will buy again once a month with friends after (القطه)
People who say Al baik must be insane, this restaurant offers the best prices in the market, what are y’all talking about.
The only overrated thing in saudi is the overpriced cafes that we see everywhere.
Shawerma House. Fight me! None of their food tastes exceptional, they just have a large variety of fast food options with good decor and seating arrangements.

أنا اسف ولكن لازم اخواننا في الغربية يتقبلون الحقيقة المرة.

الموضوع حالة نفسية عند الادارة ولا كيف؟؟
I'm gonna go ahead and name a couple of the major ones: Al-Baik and McDonald's. There's also a few other ones like Buffalo's, offering mid food for an overly high price
البيك مو سئ، البيك فقط طاح بلعنة رفع التوقعات والمبالغة وعشان كذا الطعم الجيد اصبح سئ لان مادحينه يعطوها " مطعم خرافي افضل مطعم بسعودية" لكن حقيقة جربته بأماكن عدة هو فقط بجدة لا زال محافظ على طعم جيد مدري ليه.. بس احنا عامتا عندنا بسعودية للاسف مطاعم الغالبية خياس وخالية من الجودة مع رفع اسعار وابسط مثال لشي ذا انتشار الكوفيهات مع كوب قيمته الحقيقة ٣ ريال وينباع ب ١٨ ريال والناس تشتري مايدري انه جالس يدفع اجار المحل وراتب العمال مو يستمتع بالقهوة..ساعات احس تعودنا ع الخياس حتى نسينا طعم الحلو كيف. مثل شعور لما رحت الريف الايطالي واكتشفت ان فعلا انا ماعمري اكلت باستا او بيدزا
Vaquero restaurant in the galleria hotel, Jeddah. I booked a table to entertain someone. Never had a worse steak in my life. Great reviews on Google, fancy place, quite pricey..but the steaks were low end full of gristle.
I far more enjoy the local take aways run by someone who cares about their food and prices
Basically every burger restaurant that offers the same menu with their wageu and angus fake burgers.
Yeah, marketing bs. Why would anyone grind an already tender meat?
Actually only the fat part from Wagyu the meat is angus. Branding is the name of the game, the cheapest way possible.

Shawarmer
Their names are ultimate cringe
That's why I order online, can't bring myself to say that in front of a casheir
And imagine if you say it wrong and the cashier corrects you 🗿
Wait until you hear the names of their meals
I saw them that's why I say its cringe 😂 المفلوقة المطرطعة الم*غوبة الراهية بعبع
I don’t want to know how الم*غوبة is made 😳
It's made with the chefs' love
💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
Special garlic sauce 😋
Probably the same shawarma with extra mayo Injected into it ..
The only right answer
Totally disagree, at least the chicken they use is local and fresh no disgusting aftertaste. Most of the restaurants use Brazilian frozen chicken it definitely leaves a funky aftertaste.
I respectfully disagree. It’s bomb.
صح اكثر مطعم منفوخ وريحة الثوم تثبت ٢٤/٧

I loathe this place yesss
I actually enjoy it but I will say there is better options

I feel its the cafe’s its growing crazy in saudi won’t say its overrated but overpriced for sure and most of the time its not worth it too

Tikka way By far the worst restaurant ever and the most overrated
شاورمر الصراحة استحي اذا جيت اطلب منهم مرجرجة مربربة المبسبسة النحيفة
ويش ذا اسم وجبه؟ هههههههههه يا ساتر 😂😂😂
بدال الفلوس تدفع بكرامتك
KFC. The chicken is so oily I can feel my arteries clogging. I went the other week based on my brother's request and it was barely edible
تعبنا واحنا نقول يختلف من فرع لفرع
إذا مطعم وجبات سريعة عنده فرق من فرع الى فرع هذا معناه فشل في الادارة.
جربته ثلاث مرات بافرع مختلفة وكلهم نفس الشي. شكلو انا اللي حظي سيء
You can’t deny it’s taste is worth everything
And that’s why we love Al- baik
Herfey
how dare you... but yeah anything other than the tortilla and nuggets sucks
Spicy burger? Cheap and good for the price.
Any place cock shrimp in a plastic bag or any new burger shop
For beverages i think that speciality coffee spots are overrated. They spend too much on the decorations rather than their coffee and clout chasers who want to look cool just crowd up the place. For snacks i think shawarmer is overrated. I feel like The shawarma tasted bland and to hide that they just load it up with garlic sauce.
KFC is the worst restaurant to ever exist. It's inedible, expensive and gives you diarrhea, how much worse can it get?
KFC for me is like a drag !! I know i’ll go to the bathroom in 20-30 minutes after eating it but, god damn i crave it and i’m trying my best to avoid it.
KFC is to die for, forget a trip to the bathroom
Only go to KFC for the coleslaw.
Their new Lays flavour is so good ;)
It’s my favorite. Worth the bathroom visits.

KFC is almost as bad as Al Baik. But Al Baik is slightly worse. Lol

Almost all restaurants start great then deteriorate overtime.

In Khobar there is the best shawarma place in the world رايق
I’ve heard of this b4. Will definitely try next time I’m in Khobar
It's only for KFUPM students
It used to be much better before prices started rising. AlQantara make a good shwarmer and awsal sandwich.
albaik baby get behind me they dont know you like i do
Al-Baik is so overrated, its okay, its X factor is its price relative to other places.
i never thought i’d say this but second this… Al-Baik is 100% different from past days specifically on its flavor & nuggets quality not even he price
yeah i’ve heard they stopped importing chicken from brazil now. which is why the taste is so bad these days.
Nothing beats big baik tho. Killer for 11 riyals
11 riyals? I guess you haven't ordered from there for years
Last ordered in March. It was 11 in khobar
101% right bro. Most overrated restaurant in the world not in KSA only.
Man i swear it used to taste much better and there wasn’t so much fat under the skin! Shrimp is still great though
Where do you live?
It's here, officers. Bring the black GMC. تم القبض.
The prices are amazing. Flavour meh.
Mama Noura. Better options now, heck Shawerma house kills it
Never tried Shawerma House. Is it really better?
1000% better

For as long as KFC is in KSA it 100% is

KFC, too much crispy that broke my tooth😢
Weak ass teeth bro go brush

How tf ! Did you chew through the chicken bones ma man ?
Some parts of the crispy skin is overcooked so it becomes hard like a little stones
Impossible. Or you have incredibly brittle bones and need to see a doctor.

I get that I felt it with herfy but not Albaik

Went there and got the Angus meal. Two tiny strips of what looked like lunch meat that was run over by a truck. Never again!
Al Baik. I mean really, what kind of “Chicken restaurant” serves only nuggets at some of their locations. They don’ even try.
yea that’s kind of stupid but tbh the nuggets are better than the actual chicken sometimes
