Uskudar Steak House promises a luxurious dining experience and, with a focus on high-quality meats, it’s a go-to destination for steak enthusiasts in Riyadh.

The outdoor dining area is instantly inviting, with cozy lighting from small table lamps, lush greenery and palm trees creating a tranquil atmosphere. Rustic wooden decking and decorative wall lighting enhance the intimate, elegant vibe. 

You will love their delightful goat cheese salad, a standout starter featuring a refreshing combination of fresh greens and creamy, tangy cheese with perfectly balanced flavors.

For the mains, Uskudar boasts a solid selection of wagyu-based dishes. The wagyu burger is highly recommended — juicy, well-seasoned, and cooked to perfection. Its simplicity allows the quality of the meat to shine through, making it a must-try for burger lovers.

The wagyu spaghetti (marbling 6/7) offers a unique take on pasta, with the richness of the beef adding depth to each bite. The wagyu ribeye (marbling 6/7) doesn’t disappoint either, with its buttery texture and intense flavor, though it might cater more to those with a heartier appetite. 

The restaurant’s commitment to quality is reflected in the in-house meat display. A beautifully arranged selection of premium cuts sits elegantly in a glass case, garnished with sprigs of rosemary. In addition, there is a dedicated aging chamber lined with salt blocks, adding a gourmet touch to their wagyu offerings. 

Delicious baklawa provides a sweet, satisfying end to the evening. However, while the food hits all the right taste buds, the one let-down is the drink — the sweetness of the beverage is overpowering and slightly overshadows the overall experience. 

Uskudar Steak House is a haven for meat lovers and, although it could use some minor tweaks, it is well worth a visit for its top-notch wagyu offerings.

The location is also a plus, with a convenient spot in An Nakheel and plenty of parking available.
