Food quality is good, but staff is very rude & seens like they only want to serve arabs, non arabs have to face tough language & faces without smile.

if you in for trying new stuff, then you have to visit abuzaid, though its better to dress like saudies ( a thoub) will be nice, the food is hot with so many dishes, all of them you must know how to eat. yet its a little bet ciaoatic, no lines or waters. you have to serve your self.

I am not a fan of this kind of food, but to be fair this restaurant is actually good. prices are incredibly low and the food is good. You should definitely try it if you visit Jeddah.

It is an excellent choice to taste the beans (FOOL) and the big hot bread (Tameez). You can also try the sweet meal (Maasoob) it is a combination of brown bread ,mashed bananas, honey and cream. My advice is to take your breakfast from this restaurant. تذوق الفول و رغيف التميز و اذا كنت من محبي الأكلات الحلوة لا تفوت... More
