Al Qarmoshi Traditional Breakfast Restaurant
مطعم القرموشي
A long-established breakfast eatery that has served locals for more than six decades, known for its musabbaha, ful and liver sandwiches.
Al Qarmoshi is a historic, budget-friendly restaurant in Mecca that is said to have served locals for more than six decades, with several branches around the city. Its signature Hijazi breakfast includes creamy musabbaha (crumbled flatbread with banana, cream and honey), slow-cooked ful (fava beans), liver sandwiches and mutabbaq, a folded, stuffed pancake. The décor is simple, but the flavors are authentic, making it a good choice for an early breakfast before Hajj. It opens in two sessions, from about 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. to midnight. Prices are usually under 40 Saudi riyals per person.
Opening hours
About 06:00–11:00 and 18:00–24:00 (hours vary by branch)
