RIYADH: If you are in Riyadh and craving authentic, Saudi-style meat dishes that are rich in flavor and fall-off-the-bone tender, Saqyah is the place to visit.
With roots that go beyond the kitchen — they own their own grazing lands and farms — this brand takes pride in full control over the quality of its meat, and it shows in every bite.
Saqyah offers a wide range of meat options, from naeemi and Kashmiri to hashi and more. Prices are surprisingly affordable for the quality delivered. Individual meals start at SR24 ($6.40), while larger sharing platters range between SR200 and SR1,000 ($53 to $266) depending on the size and type of meat.
Saqyah, however, is not just a restaurant, it is also a full-service butchery. If you want to buy fresh raw meat, they will prepare and cut it to order on the spot. Everything is well packaged, clean, and professionally handled, which makes it a trusted option for home cooking.
The only downside is that buying raw meat from Saqyah is more expensive than what you would find at regular markets. But you are paying for superior cleanliness, trusted sourcing, and precise butchering — something you might not always get elsewhere.
With its strong Saudi identity, quality control, and fair pricing for cooked meals, Saqyah is a name meat lovers in Riyadh should definitely have on their radar.
