A modern Saudi restaurant at Bujairi Terrace in Diriyah, featuring a menu organized by region and offering views of the terrace while you dine.
Founded in 2019 by three Saudi women who consulted grandmothers across the country to learn traditional recipes like jareesh, mento, and saleeg, this restaurant is now located at Bujairi Terrace, next to the Diriyah World Heritage site. The menu is organized by Saudi regions, with the signature dish being slow-cooked Hasawi lamb served with rare red rice. The presentation is modern while the flavors remain familiar; ordering five or six dishes to share between two people is recommended. Selected by Michelin, it is noted as highly popular among both locals and tourists. It costs about 200–400 SAR per person. You can take a taxi to Diriyah; check if a ticket is required to enter the terrace before arriving. Phone reservations are required during Ramadan.
