The most beloved fast food restaurant in Saudi Arabia, a regional fried-chicken chain that for fifty years did not exist outside the Hijaz. The crispy chicken — brined, seasoned with a secret garlic spice rub, fried — is the staple, paired with a punchy garlic sauce that has cult-level devotion.
Branches all over Jeddah, queues at peak meal times, prayer-time pauses. Cheap, family-friendly, and the closest thing to a national dish in modern Saudi Arabia. Try the broasted chicken with shrimp meal — a Jeddah classic.
