Where We Are Going Today: ‘Kumar’ Indian restaurant in Riyadh

Kumar in Riyadh offers a delightful culinary experience that celebrates Indian cuisine.

Upon entering, guests are greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere with traditional decor and a friendly staff.

The menu is extensive, featuring a variety of dishes that cater to different palates, including vegetarian and non-vegetarian options.

Each dish is crafted using traditional recipes and high-quality ingredients, ensuring that the flavors are both rich and genuine.

As I browsed the menu, I felt excited to explore the flavors of India. I decided to start with the aromatic biryani, which was perfectly spiced and fragrant. Each bite was a delightful experience, bursting with flavor.

The succulent kebabs were another highlight —grilled to perfection and seasoned just right. I also indulged in a rich curry that left my taste buds dancing; it was comforting and packed with authentic spices.

The restaurant also offers a selection of flavorful curries, which are perfect for those who enjoy spicy dishes.

The service at Kumar is commendable. The staff are attentive and knowledgeable, ready to recommend dishes based on guests’ preferences. This personalized touch enhances the dining experience, making it feel special and tailored.

Alrawaq Alshaabi, which is located on Tahlia Street in the heart of a lively area in Riyadh, offers traditional Yemeni flavor at affordable prices.

It has indoor and outdoor seating options and boasts pleasant decorations inside. The open kitchen provides guests with an opportunity to watch the chefs in action.  

The tea corner, with its enormous teapots and tea selection, captured my attention at once.

I visited the restaurant for breakfast with one of my family members, and opted to sit outdoors. However, I was quite disappointed as the chairs did not provide much comfort.

The food, on the other hand, was fine, and it cost only SR100 ($27) for two people, which is quite affordable.

I tried the shakshuka, hummus with meat, and the mixed cheese platter, accompanied by black tea. The quality of each dish was good for the price, although not impressive.

However, the establishment is a nice spot for a cup of tea or coffee, or to nibble on sweets while enjoying a lovely evening on Tahlia Street.
