Tameesa
تميسة
A retro-style Hejazi breakfast joint in the Al Yasmin district, opening in the early hours and famous for its freshly baked tamees bread served with fava bean dip.
This Michelin Bib Gourmand spot is more than just a breakfast place; it serves Hejazi-style dishes all day long, operating from 4:30 AM until midnight. The interior is bright and slightly retro, allowing diners to watch the chefs work through a glass window. Signature dishes include foul (fava bean dip), moutabbal (eggplant dip), and mutabbaq (stuffed pan-fried pastry), served with tamees bread freshly baked in a tandoor oven. For dessert, you can order areeka, a date-based bread. The flavors and portions are substantial and great for sharing, all at affordable prices. It costs less than 150 SAR per person. The restaurant manages its own bookings and features a parking lot and outdoor seating. Located in the northern part of the city, taking a taxi is recommended.
