Najd Village
القرية النجدية
A traditional restaurant built in the style of a Najdi village, where diners can sit on the floor and share large platters; awarded a Michelin Bib Gourmand.
Located in the Al Olaya district on Al Takhassusi Road, this branch is built to resemble a traditional Najdi village. Michelin inspectors recommend choosing the floor seating on the covered terrace for an authentic dining experience. You can order the Village Trip or Sofra sharing menus to sample local dishes like kabsa, jareesh, and gursan all at once. The bread is freshly baked to order, and the dessert options include tatlee, a pistachio custard. Portions are very large and easily shared among several people. Reviews on taste are mixed, with some finding it a bit salty, making it more of a cultural experience. It costs about 100–200 SAR per person. You need to contact the restaurant directly to book, and taking a taxi is recommended.
