Hunting for high-quality Arabic grilling? Then look no further than the Kingdom’s Ennabi Grill, which specializes in fresh beef and lamb meat and other grilled delicacies to assure an amazing dining experience for all.
Cast your eyes across the menu and you will notice the variety of kebabs: Iraqi, eggplant, khashkhash, orfali and halabi kebabs are all available.
Each kabab is different from the others and the consistency of the dishes is supreme, with each meal tasting just as good as your first time.
When it comes to chops, consider their Ennabi chops — a personal favorite — with the lamb cooked in a rich pomegranate sauce that gives it a distinct flavor.
For chicken lovers, Ennabi did not forget about you, as it has a collection of chicken dishes like boneless chicken (mosahab), kebab and shish tawook.
If you like your food spicy, chicken tandoori is the dish for you. The red-hot heat is tamed by a yogurt dip.
The meat arayes are thin slices of bread stuffed with beef flesh and served as a sandwich, crispy on the outside juicy on the inside, with french fries on the side.
Tabbouleh, fattoush, baba ghanouj, hummus and a variety of other Lebanese foods are served as appetizers.
When you walk inside the modern restaurant, you will discover that there is no waiter escorting you to your seat. You can sit anywhere you like and order immediately online.
Each table has a unique barcode that allows you to view the menu without having to wait for a waiter and pay the bill on your phone before the food arrives. You can find Ennabi Grill restaurants in Riyadh, Jeddah and Alkhobar.

Where We Are Going Today: Orenda Coffee Hub in Dhahran
- The Hasawi cookie was the highlight of my visit, and definitely something I would order again
In search of a hot beverage that you can hold like a hug for your hand as the winter weather cools? Try Orenda in Dhahran.
According to Dictionary.com, Orenda is defined as “an invisible magic power believed by the Iroquois people of North America to pervade all natural objects as a spiritual energy.”
While geographically far away from the land in which the word originated, the cafe has plenty of inspiration from local and global lands.
Their Hasawi cookies—caked with dates and a tiny bit of nuts and cardamom tucked within to give it texture and an elevated taste of neighboring Al-Ahsa—goes for SR 12. This was the highlight of my visit and I would definitely order again.
I tried it with a satisfying SR 16 cappuccino in a ceramic mug. Soft jazz played on the day of our visit. Plenty of natural light bathed the space with the giant windows and many people were typing on their laptops or scrolling on their phones in silence.
It has a perfectly quiet, perhaps even an orenda atmosphere.
While the weather is still pleasant, you can find many options for outdoor seating. There’s also an upstairs section, up a fun, winding green spiral staircase. Though no elevator was in sight, the bottom floor interior seems wide enough for a wheelchair.
If you do find yourself wandering up the second floor, you’ll find even more seating with an even cozier feel with decor reminiscent of a warm home.
Restrooms are situated on the next and final floor, up even more steps.
A prayer area can be found on the third floor too, along with a massive glass door leading into an outdoor space with tables and chairs aplenty.
Opened eight months ago, it remains the first and only branch in the Kingdom.
Because it seemed very popular, I ordered an iced Orenda matcha for the road, at SR 24. It was decent.
It is open from 6 a.m. until midnight daily, aside from Thursdays and Fridays when it closes at 1 a.m.
