The Lucky Llama
A Nikkei restaurant by Saudi female chef Nihal Felemban, recommended by Michelin Bib Gourmand and highly popular in a residential neighborhood.
Located in the residential neighborhood of Al Mohammadiyah, this restaurant is a tribute to chef-owner Nihal Felemban's travel experiences, bringing Peruvian flavors to Jeddah. The interior features kintsugi plates on the walls and Peruvian woven basket chandeliers under soft lighting. Michelin recommends the TNT shrimp and salmon tiradito, while other media highlight creative nigiri, ceviche, and beef tenderloin with Llama sauce. It costs about 80–200 SAR per person and was awarded 13/20 by Gault&Millau in 2026. It is open for dinner only. You need to contact the restaurant directly to book; reserving in advance and taking a taxi are recommended.
