Reviews of Saudi Kitchen

M. A. H.

Good food, delayed service but still acceptable, cheap restaurant (stingy) exactly like Saudi ones, soup is not free, only dakkos and yoghurt come with the order, anything more is with price, thanks God when we asked for white onion and chilli they didn't charge us, or maybe they forgot. Even the vegi soup is very not tasty and didn't worth the 13 dirham, taste like canned soup.

Food was great and well priced. The camel meat was very tender. Open late but some of the food runs out at that time. The rice portions that come with a main are huge so maybe try to get only the meat somehow if you’re ordering a second dish.

Perfect Heneiz , kapsa and mandi, very delicious and highly recommend 👌🏼 😋

Saudi Kitchen delivers an authentic and unforgettable dining experience! The flavors of their traditional dishes are rich and perfectly balanced, with fresh ingredients that truly stand out. The ambiance is warm and inviting, reflecting the essence of Saudi culture. Service is impeccable—friendly, attentive, and fast. Whether it’s the succulent kabsa or the perfectly spiced lamb mandi, every bite was a delight. Highly recommend for anyone craving genuine Saudi cuisine!

Recently discovered this place thanks to my friend. And it became my all time favorite place to eat Chicken Madbi. Really good taste and amazing ambiance. Super cool staff and you would just have amazing food and great time with friends and family.

Saudi Kitchen - The finest and best Mandi place in Abudhabi. Their interiors are extraordinary, the restuarant located near to Mushirif Mall at Villa area. They renovated villa into classic Arabic traditional theme. Amble parking and good dining space is most advantage of coming to Saudi Kitchen. Food : We tried Madfoon and kabsa chicken in half portion. Both was yummy. The portion also sufficient for 5 members family. We ordered Tabbouleh & Kunaffa for before food and after meal. We ate kunaffa in Cheese and Cream. For me cheese like well. They serve fresh kunafa instead of frozen Ambience & service : You must try have food from their Majilis option. You will get authentic Arabic fooding experience . Their staffs dressed like saudi people, all things are vibrant there. A good place for family dining.

Good food and great value for money with great atmosphere 👌

Based on the reviews on zomato...I decided to give this place a try and trust me It was worth the try. Placing order was very convenient as the staff were taking orders from the car itself. And the order was conveyed back to the restaurant in a smart way by using a intercom system. Within a few minutes the parcel arrived so I didnt have to park my car. What I had oredered was a meat madfoun along with chicken which I found is a bit overpriced but still worth it. It was piping hot and the meat was delicate and fall of the bone. I strongly recommend this place to all the Mandi lovers.

Saudi Kitchen Mushrif Mall Area Abu Dhabi. Seating area downstairs with table and chairs. Upstairs seating area for families that want to sit on the floor. Buzzer to call for the staff. My children loved the Kunafa which comes in 2 different options. Cheese and Cream. This is a place where you should bring your guests to enjoy the delicious food and atmosphere of traditional Arabic cuisine. Staff are very friendly and always smiling. Highly recommended to visit! Excellent customer service 😊

Best experience for IFTAR in Ramadan. Food and environment were great

M. i.

Had lunch , dining atmosphere is traditional look and feel good, had lunch and I orderd haneeth muttun shoulder it was not reall haneet taste and mandi rice was not properly cooked ,

P. W.

My guests love the food and the ambience. You can choose to sit on the chair with normal table setting or on the floor in a Bedouin-style booth. The must try food - Mandi, Mathlwtha, loqaimat (desert) and kunafa (desert). 4 of us ordered two rice dishes, one seafood plate (comes with bread) and luqaimat. Portions are big and we can’t finished all of them 😅

M. A.

This is an OMG place where the best Mandi in town is served. I like the traditional bedouin tent style decor of the restaurant. You either have the option to sit on the floor or on chairs.

E. A. D.

I always have a great experience going to the saudi kitchen. The hospitality is top notch and the waiters are very polite. This place is famous for thier rice based dishes that are very tasty. They offer traditional sweets a d side dishes too. I tried thier sea food mix this time and it excellent. Worth mentioning is the portion size. One serving is enough for 2. You can't go wrong with Saudi Kitchen next time you are in town for authentic Saudi cuisine.

D. K.

The food is phenomenal!!! We were in AUH for the NBA game and wanted to try some authentic food, their food is the best I’ve had in all of UAE. The service was great too - the waiter Shady was very polite and courteous! Highly recommend

M. S.

Nice place to take Arabian food. We took lunch with my family members. Food price is reasonable and good test that you can try.

A. A.

This is one of the famous traditional Saudi cuisine. The place is considered a trademark in UAE and serves many Arabian GCC dishes. It's really good and tasty.

K. M.

Great experience and great food. We went for 2x Portions of Lamb mendi and 1x portion of Chicken mendi - Family style, so it call came on one place. And a portion of fried hamour (Fish) on the side. For desert we got some Kunafa (with cream) and some tea.

M. H.

For lovers of Yemeni & Saudi causine lovers that's your right place. Delicious food, generous quantities, good staff, I liked them very much.

T. K.

Best Mandi madbi masbih Restaurant in Abu Dhabi!! The atmosphere is amazing. All the food is delicious.

S. K.

Incredible experience at Saudi Kitchen! The mutton Mandi was absolutely delicious—tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The ambiance was warm and inviting, and the staff were friendly and attentive. Definitely one of the best places for authentic Middle Eastern cuisine. Highly recommend!

D.

This has unequivocally become my all-time favorite place for Mandi and other Arabic cuisine. The food is exceptionally flavourful, and the dining environment is exceedingly comfortable. The staff are remarkably friendly and diligent, enhancing the overall dining experience.

H. A.

Amazing experience...tasty food and good ambiance We spent around 4 hours...it was an awesome experience.

A. N.

Food taste and sitting area are excellent. The only thing is the quality of food. Quantity is too much so wastage of food should be controlled.

T. Z.

Food tastes are excellent. But very far from the city. Waiters are so relaxed and unattentive. Value for money.

S. D.

Delicious food..reasonable prices...nice and clean environment..

A. A.

So tasty food specially sea bream grilled fish

F. C.

Seems like this will be my go-to place now! Thank you Mr. Soheil for the amazing service. This place truly delivers when it comes to food quality; I couldn't be happier with my dining experience.

A. R.

Authentic Saudi food and properly cooked meat. Clean restaurant with variety of seating choices (regular, rooms, traditional on the floor)

I. A.

Our go to place to have traditional rice cuisine, always fresh and tasty with welcoming and fast service. Recommended.

A. T.

This is one of the best mandi restaurant in Abu Dhabi, bit expensive and nothing complimentary provided

P. S.

The mandi, the ambiance, the portion and taste! So good. I believe that all dishes will be all same quality in taste. Totally recommend this!

A. H.

I like the food very much. Tasty and delicious. Try kunafa.. Best

E. L.

Nice and tasty Saudi cuisine. Love the mandi rice with lamb and chicken kabsah rice and of course seafood hamesa

A. A.

Reasonable price, high quality, tasty and welcomed staff. It’s a unique restaurant for original Arabic dishes.

M.

Not my first time eating Saudi food, but my first time eating Saudi style(on the floor), It was a fun experience with friends, will definitely come again. If you haven’t tried this style I recommend it, ask for the private room.

D. D.

The food was great we ordered the meal for 1 person but 3 of us had it (good portion) the meat was delicious and perfectly cooked and the rice was so tasty. We also ordered harees which was super smooth and delicious. Definitely an experience I would repeat but this time it would be the table seating as I was not very comfortable on the ground ( my daughter loved it though very traditional but not suitable for people with skeletal issues)

S. F. R.

Great dining place for local arab cuisines. Our favorites are their laham mandi, kabsa and cream kunafa.

V. P.

Delicious food and good Ambience. The hospitality is also good.

M. A.

They were rates amongs the best however quality of food has gone down big time

A. R. A. K.

Love the ambiance. The sitting area was too good and had an authentic feeling and total arabic vibe unlike others. Food looked so delicious and tasted even more delicious. We ordered Mandi (lamb) and Kunafa (cream) and both were extremely full of taste and richness. Highly recommended. A literal family plus too.

S. H.

M. M.

Expensive but worth it trying saudi cuisine.

y. s.

The best restaurant for mandi and kabsa in the

J. M. C.

Great food👍

M. O. A. G.

Amazing atmosphere and ambience.. Harees was wow!

M. A. K.

Happened to visit this place with friends and family. It was highly recommended to me & I have to say it did not disappoint, especially when I traveled all the way from Sharjah. Loved the food and the ambience and service was very good. I had dropped in for lunch and noticed they have a beautiful setup with Arabian majlis outdoor, which is only possible during Winter, definitely not early August. I didn't know many places to visit in Abu Dhabi but I'm glad I have something to look forward to now during my next trip.

K. A.

1. **Flavor (3.5/5):** The Majboos at the Saudi kitchen offered a good taste, capturing the essence of Arabian flavors. The blend of spices and rice was satisfying, earning it a respectable rating. 2. **Ambience (4/5):** The overall ambience of the restaurant was pleasing, contributing positively to the dining experience. 3. **Price (3/5):** While the Majboos was enjoyable, the price seemed a bit on the higher side for the portion and type of food served. In summary, the Majboos experience in the Saudi kitchen was positive, with room for improvement in pricing. The inviting ambience added to the overall satisfaction of the meal.

s. s.

Good taste but they increased the charges on Harees and quantity reduced still I go there because Harees taste is good

M. N.

I always loved the food from this place. It's always tasty and they maintain consistency. Thier rice tastes well for both mandi and madhbi. I had both chicken mandi and madhbi from there. Chicken is not much juicy but tastes well. Good ambiance as well as nice service too. My only concern is about the price as it's bit higher than normal. But in my opinion it is must one time try option

W. A.

A great place for family and friends. A bit on the expensive side for mandi, but worth it for the quality of food and the ambience. They have an option to sit on the floor as well as on tables. Private areas are great for social distancing and family gatherings.

M. T.

Rice and meat aren’t up to the expectations, if you’ll compare with other Mandi restaurants ( Zamzam , Rashid al Zaabi rest) their price is also high ..

Y. B.

The food is the best and great atmosphere but the only issue is that they lack inspection for insects. I noticed Saudi kitchen doesn't do inspections at all, its not the first i found a spider. The other time I found another spider then it got worse to cocroaches. I noticed there was a lack of customers coming here, now I know why. Its really gross to not feel comfortable when spiders are roaming around the place, especially when people are wearing dishdasha's. I'm not coming here anymore!

ت. ا.

Great food taste, friendly and fast service. Multiple choices of rice with many types of fish, meat or chicken. Fried Hammor fillet takes approx. 20 min but it’s worth the Wait.

F.

Fantastic place to eat and bring visitors. The ambiance is very nice and the staff were very helpful. Prices were also reasonable given the portion sizes and the amenities. Would definitely recommend.

A. M.

A must try restaurant for Arabic Cusines. I tried 3 different types of Chicken Mandi; all were good. A must try sweet dish is Umm Ali. Too good experience.

M. R. B. S.

Great food. The grilled fish was fresh and delicious. The salad is fresh and crunchy. We tried the Zurbyan, Kabsa and (of course) Mandi rice with chicken and lamb. Excellent!

S. O.

Amazing atmosphere of the restaurant. You can choose a place on the ground floor or upstairs, eat at the table or traditionally take seats on the floor, at an open table or away from the eyes, behind a curtained, separate space. Prices are very affordable for restaurants. The service was nice and helpful. The order included rice with camel meat (we couldn't find a restaurant serving this meat for a long time, only thanks to the helpful people from the reception desk of our hotel, we found this restaurant), where the meat melted in the mouth, and such good, delicate rice, long ago I didn't eat. The order included an Arabic salad with cucumber, tomato, lettuce and mint - too sour for my taste, but it's probably supposed to be that way, and as I'm used to other flavors, I should have ordered, for example, the Greek one. Ordered kunefe, to be poured with sweet syrup served separately. I must admit that it tasted very good without the syrup, especially the pistachio one, but the cheese one unfortunately cooled down before I started eating, and there was no effect of the cheese spilling out. And Arabic coffee. First time ordered and probably the last. The coffee set made an amazing impression, i.e. a silver jug ​​on a tray plus 2 small cups without handles and dates. Unfortunately, this is not my taste of coffee. Neither the look nor the taste appeals to me when coffee is brewed this way. It looked like green and yellow goo, tasted like I was drinking dishwater, even biting it with a date (very good, by the way) didn't help. I'll stick to Turkish coffee. Overall, I didn't like the salad and the Arabic coffee, but it's more a matter of my taste than poor preparation, although I recommend ordering this type of coffee because of the way it was served. And maybe someone will like it. I highly recommend rice with camel meat, delicious.

It was our first dinner after arriving in Abu Dhabi! It was my first experience with proper Middle Eastern food, and it was so delicious that I couldn't really like it or not! We had stir-fried lamb and chicken mandi! So good!

C. A.

God bless you for the food, the good treatment, the smile and the taste from Muhammad Abu Hamza. I advise you to try Saudi cuisine.

J. L.

This is a good local restaurant where you can taste Saudi food. Kunafa was the most delicious and the mandi was also good. Personally, I recommend chicken mandi more than lamb mandi.

ن. ا.

I had excellent Madhbi charcoal chicken, excellent kunafa, friendly staff, spacious Arabic seating and tables.

s.

Nothing to say, unbeatable value for money, the food is excellent and full of flavors, a really nice atmosphere with an atypical setting, ideal for lunch or dinner with a small group of friends.

A. K.

The best restaurant in Abu Dhabi ever, the quality of food, service and seating is incomparable, Mashallah. Something to whiten the face, eat and enjoy 👌😉

ب. A.

Amazing Gulf food...fresh meat from the other...service could be better

It is one of the places that only changes for the better, the flavor is excellent, the management and staff are excellent, and the general atmosphere is always excellent 👍👍 A new experience today, 12/18/2024, the same flavor and the same beautiful atmosphere
