Bab Al Turath Restaurant
باب التراث
A three-storey restaurant in Abha's Al Muftaha district, built in the style of traditional Asiri houses and recommended by the local tourism board for home-style Saudi cooking.
Located on King Abdulaziz Road in Abha's Al Muftaha district, the restaurant is built in the style of traditional Asiri houses. Its three floors are filled with palms, traditional paintings and colorful textiles. The menu focuses on Saudi and southern dishes, including jarish porridge, saleeg, madbi roast chicken, haneeth grilled meat and madghout pressure-cooked chicken and rice, all served with Arabic coffee. It has family sections, open seating and private rooms, and prices are mid-to-upper range. Reviews are generally positive, though some diners find the quality inconsistent. It is very close to the Muftaha Art Village, so it makes an easy stop after sightseeing.
