Today we stopped by the restaurant for iftaar. They have slightly renovated their seating arrangement and made it family frendly.

Their pakoda, aalu bhajiya and mirch pakoda platter was the most delicious pakodas I have had in Riyadh iftar buffets so far. So fresh, crispy and non oily. Dahi bhalle Karachi style with chana chat and Pudina chutney ... loved every bite of it.

This superb iftaar followed by their dinner buffet: Tawa Kheema, Biryani, Haleem, Qorma, Boti Tikka, Zeera rice etc.. puri and roti...

Their dessert "Lab E Shireen" was a perfect closure.

Not to forget their Gola Ganda and Falooda/ lassi bar where they make it live and serve you.

Trust me, You are in for no disappointment when it comes to taste of food...
Their iftar and dinner buffet for SR. 45 (inclusive of tax)
Another good option for Pakistani cuisine
Fresh chicken, mutton, and beef.

Very bad experience. Waiting almost for 20 min after order. I order Beef Nihari, they give only one small piece of beef, which is 15 sr. They give only 2 pc beef kabab- 12 Sr. I didn’t experience like this before in another restaurant. Very costly and small quantities.

Yummy shawarmas, falafel and broasted chicken! The breakfast platter is great for 3 people. Delicious! It's better to dine in rather than takeout. The delivery food is usually cold and not UpTo par. Dine in and you won't regret it.

The juices are delicious. Love the strawberry and cocktail.

Great restaurant, I like it and trust that I'll get the best quality from there,
The only point which still not used to, is that I have to get my order through different people in the restaurant.
everything else were great
Best in Town. The Food , The Service and the Atmosphere.. Whole Delicious. Authentic and consistent taste.

Shawarma House on Khuraish Road exceeded all expectations, delivering an exceptional dining experience that left an indelible mark on my taste buds. The star of the show was undoubtedly their shawarma platters, a culinary masterpiece that showcased a perfect fusion of flavors and textures.

From the moment the platter arrived, the aroma alone hinted at the gastronomic delight that awaited. The shawarma was expertly seasoned, resulting in succulent, tender meat that practically melted in my mouth. The careful balance of spices elevated the dish, creating a harmonious blend that was nothing short of extraordinary.

Over hyped dead shawarma. Lacking flavour and very dry with a lack of good sauce. It needs runny homemade chilli and garlic sauce (it's what most authentic shawarma shops have around the world. Especially in the UK where I'm from). Not some thick sauce that doesn't help with the dryness.

Honestly, Saudi's. You guys need to step up when it comes to shawarma. You guys have the worst shawarma in the whole world. Unfortunately most Saudi's won't know that since they never leave their country.

Poor service from this place too. I also wanted grilled wings but they gave me breaded one even though I clearly pointed at the picture of grilled wings when ordering. Which btw was TINY too!

Also very expensive compared to the portion size you get.

Such a disappointment!

Once again in the shawarma house, but this time we were there for breakfast. We tried cheese gallaba, shakshuka, falafel platter, Akira(sweet dish) with karak(milk tea).
Everything was good specially gallaba was mouth watering, and akira was not much sweet. Nice experience in the breakfast.

Got a nice little private room for business dinner. Very Limited menu for 300 ish per person. It is the roof top of narcis hotel. Valley parking at hotel.

For business dinner or a big private table, thats a very good option.

Have visited often take-out and request delivery through Hunger station.
Good quality is good.
But service inside restaurant is not that appreciable.
Less hospitality (No welcoming faces, no smiles)
May be language is a barrier.

Group of 20 people visit that Romansiah. We've ordered Laham Mandi. It was very delicious in taste. One full Mandi was more than enough for 4 people. 5 or 6 people could eat it as well.
They have good place for small party like 20 people space they could manage in place.
Parking space is available out side.

Generally been a good place but the meal I ordered last night had a horrible green color. Refunded🤮
Had lunch here with my family. The food was amazing and the venue is very beautiful. They were super welcoming and sweet. They have complementary Saudi coffee and sweets. My absolute favorite were the kbeba and harees. I love the variety of hot sauces they have. My favorite saudi restaurant in riyadh

Prices and taste is ok but they reduced the quantity of rice , mostly people like to eat rice as much as possible , last week we found very less quantity and soom we asked the server he said yeah like this only wr are serving...

So I request Al Romansiah owners to increase the quantity of rice with each dish chicken and lamb.

Thanks
Excellent food, the traditional chicken is greatly recommended and also order the malaki and basically everything else from the menu
Great Pakistani restaurant with wide variety of Pakistani food. A must try when u are in Riyadh. Their BBQ range (chicken particularly) and sodas are a-must try as well

Great place to have Arabic food. Maqloba and matghoot very nice tasty rice.

Juices are ok but not as expected in taste.

Need some improvement in hygienic service.

Overall a good one can give 3.5 out of 5.

One person cost ranges 20-40 riyal.
Dal Masoor
Bhindi Masala
Nali Nihari
Beef Haleem
Tawa Qeema
Namkeen Tikka
And Ice-cream Faloda

Recommended specially health conscious

They use fresh chicken and meat.

Never have acidity and stomach problems after eating from there.

Tikka Masala Restaurant
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Al Romansiah restaurant in Riyadh, and I must say, it was a truly delightful experience. This establishment is a hidden gem that showcases the essence of traditional Saudi Arabian cuisine.

From the moment I stepped inside, I was struck by the warm and inviting ambience. The decor exudes a charming blend of modern and traditional elements, creating a comfortable and visually appealing setting for a memorable meal. The staff was attentive and friendly, adding to the overall pleasant atmosphere.

Now, let's talk about the food – it was nothing short of spectacular. The menu is a celebration of authentic flavors and culinary craftsmanship. Every dish I had was bursting with taste and carefully prepared to perfection. However, the standout star was undoubtedly the Goat Medfoon. This dish, a true masterpiece, boasted tender and succulent goat meat infused with a symphony of aromatic spices that danced on my taste buds. The flavors were rich, well-balanced, and left me craving for more.

Al Romansiah truly offers a feast for both hunger and soul. The combination of delectable traditional food, inviting ambience, and the sheer culinary artistry makes this restaurant a must-visit for anyone seeking an exceptional dining experience in Riyadh. If you find yourself at Al Romansiah, don't miss out on the Goat Medfoon – it's a culinary journey that will leave you thoroughly satisfied and longing for a return visit.

Traditional saudi food with amazing taste and atmosphere.

Food was good and also the dessert. Also its good place for those who want to take photos
Tikka masala is a great place to go for those who want to enjoy a day full of Pakistani cuisine in the heart of Riyadh. Traditional Pakistani dishes are served family-style at this whimsical, easy-going eatery. They offer a variety of dining options for Pakistani dishes, specifically BBQ platter, Nihari, Haleem.

A traditional saudi cuisine with modernized atmosphere, like the simplicity of modernization while maintaining the tradition.
A great place for groups and very welcoming atmosphere.
Our orders:
- Sambosa; 7/10, it was crunchy and good but oily.
- Kibbeh; 6/10, not the best but decent.
- Marquq; 6/10, the toppings taste didn’t meet the expectations, if you remove it it would be tasteless.
- Meat Okra; 7/10, a bit runny; if it was kept over night it would have been fabulous.
- Hamees, 9/10
- Al Badia Meat; 8/10, the jareesh part was its downfall, nevertheless; it was consumed with joy 😊.
- Grilled Hashi; 10/10; speechless.
- Masabeeb; 10/10; original, basic, and properly made.
- Mini cheese and honey Sambosa 7/10
- Mahalabia, 8/10; basic sweet.

Third class service
They lowered their standards shockingly.
Not worth to go.
The food was second grade.
The service was pathetic.
The servers were just shouting.
If you ask a little thing they will take ages to bring. The Bangladesh staff was rude.
Overall a bad experience.
Not a great place for Maklooba for sure. Usual menu items like Madfoon and Madhbi is good. Kebab is not worth at all.
Great experience and very tasty food. Will try again.
There is just nothing more to say about Romansiah. One of the best restaurants I have eaten in my lifetime. My favorite is the Lahm Mandi. But most of their items are just great and also their Nutella Kunafa its just something different. Idk if there is anyone who doesn’t know about this place but if you ever come to Saudi Arabia or if you stay in Saudi Arabia and haven’t tries this place out i highly recommend you to try it out
In juice too much ice using. Not good for health

One of the tastiest Turkish cuisine in the town. Internal ambiance is the coziest one. Wonderful staff will welcome you any time.
Lovely local restaurant, new but with traditional touch. Atmosphere and interior are matching with the food. We loved it! Highly recommended.
We ate salad, rise with chicken and saliq.
And for desert ‘muhalebie’ (ignore wrong spelling:) ) creamy perfumed milk desert. 😊

If you want your family iftar to be memorable (in a worse way) feel free to come here. The serving is based on from where you belong. We family of four, two kids arrived first and ordered but food came late very late, and upon inquiry, manager gave lamest excuse that other table have kids.

Guess what I was with two kids as well. The manager clearly needs a course how to deal with customers because of poor and delayed serving.

1. Appetizers (dip) came without bread, after raising to manager he said ok

2. No courtesy to say enjoy the meal.

3. Custurd brownie came without dessert spoons

Wrote the review in series of events, official complain going to Sarabeth’s head office.

We tried iftar, which cost 150 SR per person and it’s set menu includes Saudi coffee, water, juice, soup, 2 types of dessert, and 2 types of sambosa.
Delicious food actually but it’s overpriced.
Good vibes and services as well.
I just ordered chicken spicy broast and passion fruit juice. It was very tasty and it's spacious for friends and also family
Convenient and more consistent food taste. There is an ample space for dine in. The only painful job is for takeaway. Usually very busy after Friday prayers. Poor management despite having digital screen and numbering system. They prefer to cry outloud and let people gather around the delivery counter.

Delicious breakfast with good service 👍
Recommend place for aabic food and deserts, one of the best food chain in saudi arabia, water, rice(extra) and tomato sauce(+extra) served free in addition to the order,

Mandi 4.4

Kunafa 4

Tomato sauce- unique 👌

Bit expensive but good food, 👍 👌
The ambience of this place is very pleasant. If you crave homemade Saudi food, this is the place to go. All dishes I tried were very tasty. My least favorite was kabli rice 3/10. The meat in the kabli was very hard to chew.

My absolute favorites and “must haves”:
1- Red Jareesh 15/10
2- Miro kebab 10/10
3- Meat galette (Aysh Abu Laham) 10/10
4- Vegetable soup 9/10

Note: if you’re a laban person, don’t miss on trying their Toferya Laban.

The ambience is very pleasant. I gave two stars one for the staff’s service and hospitality and the second for ambience. But in terms of their food, nothing they served was extraordinary.

I’ve tried their lugaimat 2/10, hnaini 1/10, cheese samosa 5/10, mandi rice 4/10, and Aseeb salad 8/10.
Food is really delicious and authentic. Service is great. If you’re looking for Saudi traditional food this restaurant is the best choice.

Had the worst experience! The customer service is very horrible! The waiter got us a table and then he told us you can’t sit and not order dinner! We were there for coffee and sweets! To be honest will never be back and will also notify my friends and family not to go! They ruined the whole night.

Very baaaaaad

The food is good The prices are reasonable and the vibes are nice. The staff is very supportive and kind.
A 3 star because they can add more options related to the Turkish cuisine (like certain types of cheese or the proper cream of Turkey with honeycomb). And also the decor could definitely be improved.
Overall a good experience and the location is very good.

A great restaurant for Saudi food lovers. Quiet session. Some employees need an upgrade to deal with customers. There is a drawback to the service, which is the submission of orders in one go. The food is very delicious.

Ideally situated on the Middle Corniche. Perfect location for early breakfast. Cuisine is typically Arab with hints of Turkish flavor. Decently priced for a fair quantity of food. Most Turkish restaurants serve tea and a sweet as complimentary, but not here. And my heart would not concede to me paying SR7 for such a small cup so I went for the usual cappuccino.

You can choose to sit in an open booth or closed booth with beautiful sliding doors. Most people want to sit at the window because of the lovely view of King Fahad’s fountain area. They have a nice system of allowing you to wait at another table until a window seat becomes available.

A little under staffed it seems as service was kind of slow. Having an active concierge might make the ratings higher.
I love the food and the order and also the service's so very good so I will give it a thumbs up... 👍👍👍
An excellent place for family Dinner, quality and taste of arabic food is always best in the business. Huge dine in Facilities families and single.. you can say one of the best restaurants in the town.. Overall a great experience of food, service and ambience quality of food and taste..

Really like the fact that there is no buffet and that they bring all the food to your table. Soup and salads were average. Potato and sauce plate was very nice. The best meat we tried was the ribs!
Excellent quality juices at lie cost. Quick service. The ambience is also very good. Never tried their grilled and sandwich services.
Good place varieties of juices and shakes, neat n clean

Great atmosphere located in the heart of Riyadh. Fine dining which serve quality food.
Thier style is a little different then Brazilian steakhouse. Starting with soup and variety of cold and hot appetizers. Then the mean course which serve 5 kinds of meat. And finishing up with some desserts. The downgrade is the price which has been overrated with 350/each.
