Jamm Restaurant, located at Prince Sultan Road in As Salamah, Jeddah, offers a culinary experience that combines contemporary flair with comforting flavors.

From breakfast to dessert, the menu is eclectic, ambitious, and carefully planned, providing something for every palate.

Breakfast is a standout, with dishes that balance classic and adventurous flavors.

Roasted pepper eggs, with oven-roasted red peppers, onion, garlic, and halloumi cheese, are a simple, yet satisfying, start to the day.

DUBAI: At The Rustic Bakery in Riyadh, the scent of freshly baked sourdough greets every visitor. But for its executive chef, Francesco Luigi Carusi, it’s another aroma that lingers deepest in his memory.

“The smell of trippa in my grandma’s kitchen. For the non-Italians: trippa is cow’s stomach lining, slow-cooked with tomato sauce, carrots, and celery. Sounds scary, but trust me, it was always a celebration dish in my family,” he tells Arab News. “Every Sunday lunch we had it, all of us around the table. That smell is basically the smell of my childhood.”

ASHGABAT, Turkmenistan: When he was a teenager, Bekmurad Khodjayev used to hide from his parents to smoke. Fifty years later, the Turkmen pensioner is still hiding, but this time from the police.
“I smoke in my apartment. But if I feel like smoking in town, I find a place without surveillance cameras to avoid a fine — an alleyway, a dead end, behind some tall bushes or trees, a deserted spot,” the 64-year-old builder told AFP.

Available on delivery apps and increasingly popular with locals in Alkhobar, Anjar is a casual eatery that delivers comfort food with an unmistakable Levantine touch.

Whether you are in the mood for shawarma, falafel or freshly baked pastries, Anjar makes its mark with flavors that feel authentic and generous.

We started with the falafel, a classic that can easily disappoint if not handled well. Here, it was golden on the outside, soft inside and seasoned just right — earthy, fresh and far from oily.

As a recent regular at Serdab cafe in Riyadh’s Al-Aridh neighborhood, I can say it is more of a cozy retreat rather than just a coffee shop.

Its charm is not only in the delightful offerings but also the inviting atmosphere that encourages you to linger.

Serdab embodies the essence of a neighborhood coffee shop, a concept that has gained popularity in ��ֱ��.

The spacious layout features comfortable seating and couches that beckon you to unwind. As someone who enjoys working in cafes, I appreciate the desk tables equipped with power outlets.

Where We Are Going Today: Paolo restaurant in Riyadh

Located in Riyadh, Paolo restaurant offers a diverse menu that blends Mediterranean classics with contemporary twists. While some dishes shine, others miss the mark.

I began with the fet-okra salad, featuring crispy okra, salty feta, and tart pomegranate for contrast. The okra should be perfectly fried, but my takeout version arrived limp and lost its appeal.

The grilled chicken club works best with light sauce, but the chicken shawarma is the star. Tender, spice-marinated chicken wrapped in fresh saj with garlic sauce is lean, flavorful, and not greasy.

Perched alongside the picturesque Jeddah Yacht Club and Marina, Limone combines aesthetic charm, affordable pricing, and a stunning view of the Red Sea.

The menu leans on classic Italian flavors with a fresh twist. Starters such as the caprese salad were simple yet satisfying, the ripe tomato slices pairing beautifully with creamy mozzarella and fragrant basil, all balanced by a rich balsamic drizzle.

The garden salad was equally appealing, with crisp seasonal vegetables tossed in a light dressing.

Jeddo Shaker in Riyadh offers a robust dive into Syrian comfort food, though its takeout experience reveals some uneven edges. The experience highlights both authentic triumphs and dishes that miss the mark.

Starters set a mixed tone. The spicy potato cubes arrived promising golden crispness and a garlic-coriander kick but landed squarely mid-tier and lacking textural crunch and depth of flavor. They felt underseasoned and forgettable.

RIYADH: Italian food aficionados in ��ֱ�� might want to consider changing their travel plans to include Qatif, the small coastal city which is about to get a major culinary upgrade as its first fine-dining restaurant prepares to open its doors.

Saudi chef Ali Al-Jishi, a 23-year-old graduate of the Culinary Arts Academy Switzerland, will launch Osteria Dal Nonno after studying under the acclaimed Italian chef Francesco Gasbarro in training reminiscent of scenes from TV series “The Bear.” The restaurant is expected to open in around three months at C-Front in Qatif.

Indulging in a few American breakfast classics never hurt anybody, and this cloud kitchen service makes it a little hard not to.

Egg Bun was founded in the UAE in 2020 and made its way to Riyadh in 2022. It offers a selection of buns, wraps, toasts, bowls and rolls.

No matter what you choose, you can trust that the eggs will be good. Their scrambled and fried eggs are cooked perfectly. The scrambled eggs are nice and fluffy, and the slightly crisp bottom of the fried egg brings out the rich flavor.

DIRIYAH: For Chef Saleh Aljabali, his culinary passion was fired as early as kindergarten. “The earliest memory would be when I was three, four years,” he tells Arab News. “At the kindergarten, we were taught to make French toast. And I got excited about it. That was the spark.”

From experimenting at home with family and friends to pursuing the craft alongside his engineering studies, he soon realized cooking was his calling. “This is my passion and this is what I prefer to do,” he says.

Chinwa is a Chinese restaurant in Riyadh which delivers a mix of authentic, aromatic, and sometimes challenging flavors. The undisputed star is the kimchi — a fiery, fermented, punchy delight bursting with complex tang and lingering heat, showcasing masterful balance.

Among the mains, the volcano spicy karaage chicken offers immediate satisfying, umami-rich comfort. The savory, creamy, slightly unctuous broth envelopes tender noodles and crisp veg, and is topped with a soft-boiled egg.

Looking for a modern spot with subtle touches of Saudi culture? Telad Cafe in Jeddah’s Ash Shati district offers interiors that mix contemporary style and technology — like its iPad menu — with retro decor for a classic feel.

The menu is fairly standard but provides a good range of options. Breakfast choices, such as the croissant with scrambled eggs, and the truffle omelet, come in portions large enough for two.

If you enjoy burgers with hearty fillings, Prime Cut in Riyadh is worth trying. With branches in Shorofat and Al-Olaya, the restaurant has a steady following.

The Angus patties are served hot and fresh. I recommend the Prime Classic for the signature taste, or the Smoky Burger and Prime Double if you prefer something meatier.

For those who like spice, the Spicy Prime Burger is a good choice, while the Crispy Chicken Burger offers a crunchy texture.
