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: Lahori Village
- While it is not a hard-and-fast rule, I often happily find that the simpler a restaurant presents itself to customers, the better the food
RIYADH: Sometimes it seems like the gaudiness of a restaurant’s interior is inversely proportional to the quality of the food.
That is why when I am dragged along to an eatery where the staff are dressed in ill-fitting waistcoats, where oversized chandeliers dangle precariously above diners, where faded tablecloths clash with faux vintage wallpaper, my expectations of enjoying a quality meal plummet.
While it is not a hard-and-fast rule, I often happily find that the simpler a restaurant presents itself to customers, the better the food.
These are my favorite kinds of restaurants, the ones that let the food speak for itself.
Lahori Village in Riyadh’s King Fahd district fits comfortably into this second category.
Though clean and comfortable, it is an unfussy establishment with few frills that does one thing very well: serve hearty, authentic and delicious Pakistani cuisine.
The mutton karahi is swimming in flavor — soft delectable chunks of meat in a rich sauce with a ginger tang.
The freshly baked garlic naan has a perfect hint of crunch giving way to soft dough perfect for soaking up a sauce.
The special fish barbecue is another highlight, with expertly balanced spice and sweetness.
Not every dish is available every day, so if you are after something in particular make sure to check the menu ahead of time.
But that limitation does not seem to put off customers, the place has been bustling with activity every time I have visited.
The cool kheer was a fantastic way to close off the meal — a light, sweet offering that leaves little to be desired.
And in a city rife with eye-watering prices, Lahori Village is a welcome respite, with the bill unlikely to upset most diners.
It is an all-round honest offering to the punters of Riyadh and well worth a visit.
