Kumar restaurant gives a fancy twist to the beloved Indian cuisine. The brain behind the recipes is chef Kumar, who has spent most of his life working in the British restaurant industry. After gaining plenty of experience, the chef decided to dedicate the rest of his professional life to revolutionizing Indian cuisine and presenting vibrant foods to the rest of the world.
According to his profile on the menu of his restaurant, he believes in mixing contemporary flavors with Indian cuisine to create fusions that will not only impress people internationally but will help Indians around the world rediscover their love for their food.
The dishes offered by the restaurant are authentic to the Indian roots. The spices, ingredients and servings are all balanced to give everyone the ultimate experience. Some of their most popular dishes are their biryani special, sizzling fish masala and chicken maharaja.
Another dish that is extremely popular is their Mumbai puffs platter with a twist. These are traditionally served with tamarind water and chickpea masala, however, the restaurant has added their chicken tikka to the dough for explosive flavor.
Kumar restaurant’s chaats are especially delicious. Despite offering a fine dining dish, they successfully preserve the street-food vibe.
Obviously, any Indian restaurant can be judged just by their tea, and it’s safe to say Kumar excels in that criteria. Their maharaja karak is a plain milk tea served in a classic brass pot and is perfect to have after food.
The restaurants are located in Al-Rawdah district, Jeddah, and Riyadh Park in the Saudi capital. For more information, visit their Instagram @kumar.ksa.

Where We Are Going Today: Yawmiyat in Riyadh
- When moving on to the main dishes, Yawmiyat takes you on a journey that reflects the warmth of the authentic Levantine table
The first thing you notice when experiencing Yawmiyat is the feeling of going back to the roots, but with a touch of quiet luxury.
In the midst of Riyadh’s fast-paced bustle, this kitchen offers an experience that feels like a sanctuary for the senses, far from the usual commercial fast foods.
Our eyes are immediately drawn to the geometric precision of the presentation; the dishes here are not scooped randomly, but carefully arranged in a way that reminds us of miniature museum displays.
Warak enab or stuffed grape leaves, which is often served as a simple side dish, appears here as the essence of the experience. The compactly stacked pieces gleaming with virgin olive oil promise a taste that cleverly balances the acidity of lemon with the sweetness of the rich filling, reflecting hours of slow cooking.
When moving on to the main dishes, Yawmiyat takes you on a journey that reflects the warmth of the authentic Levantine table.
Here, the grills go beyond being traditional items; the kofta and lamb chops saturated with the aroma of charcoal grilling, characterized by exceptional tenderness and a rich flavor of special spices that melt in the mouth.
For lovers of complex flavors, the fattet makdous stands out as an artistic masterpiece presented as a symphony of harmonious textures, where the crunch of bread embraces the tenderness of eggplant and the freshness of yogurt, creating a melodic balance that evokes immediate nostalgia for intimate family gatherings.
What truly distinguishes this experience is that rare blend of authenticity and modernity; while the kitchen adheres to traditional recipes, modernity appears in the style of presentation and packaging that makes each order a “gift” worthy of presenting.
Behind this inspiring Saudi brand stands a deep belief that local cuisine is the richest and finest that can be offered to the world.
