Tapas restaurant in Babylon Plaza on Sari Road, Jeddah, offers Mediterranean fusion dining in an elegant setting.
The interior is all creamy tones, black finishes, and greenery that adds warmth to the modern design.
The menu features a range of small plates and mains. Highlights from the starters include shrimp balls wrapped in kunafa — crisp outside, juicy inside — with a tangy pink sauce.
The eggplant mille-feuille was light and flavorful, while the truffle corn nachos were rich but slightly too creamy.
The “to share” section stands out. Both the crispy steak taco and fried shrimp taco were well balanced and tasty. Among the mains, the chimichurri steak was tender and well seasoned.
The mushroom chicken with truffle mash was hearty, although a bit heavy and underseasoned. The Mediterranean paella had a good seafood mix, but the saffron rice lacked depth.
The truffle and short rib risottos were creamy and flavorful, worth trying if you enjoy bold dishes.
Desserts like the upside-down cheesecake and caramel apple pie offered a sweet finish. Refreshing non-alcoholic drinks such as the nutty fizz and pineapple quench were also available.
Expect to spend about SR400 ($107) for two, depending on your choices. For more details, visit @tapas.ksa.
