Ajinet Mariam is a peaceful bistro serving the best of Lebanese cuisine.
It has two branches in Saudi Arabia — in U-Walk Jeddah and Park Avenue Mall in Riyadh.
The bakery is well-known for its delicious pies made with a special fresh dough. They have beef pesto curry served with pita bread, bakhla salad, as well as sujuk sausage mix. They also offer kofta pie with cheese and batata mahrousa, or potato pie with mozzarella cheese.
They also serve refreshing juices such as orange and pomegranate.
Kale salad, mixed-cheese mashrouha, kashkaval cheese mashrouha, and Mariam Moutabal are other favourites.
They serve delicious hot mezze dishes such as manti, sujuk, and pesto ras asfour. There are plenty of vegan options at the restaurant.
They also have kashta bel kashta, a cream-based delicacy, and karabig fingers — pistachio shortbread fingers served with a light meringue dip and topped with fine crushed pistachios and scented rose-petal jam.
All of the branches are large, with both indoor and outdoor areas and a terrific Lebanese music vibe. Prices are reasonable.
The restaurants are open from 6 p.m. to 1 a.m.
You can order from the restaurant online through the Chefz app: their Instagram is @ajinetmariam.
