Located in The Grid complex in Jeddah’s Al-Zahraa district, The Blak Peco has quickly become a popular dining spot.
From the moment you step inside, the place feels welcoming, thanks in part to Mama, a friendly hostess who chats with guests and creates a warm atmosphere.
The menu focuses on Middle Eastern comfort food with creative twists. The Phi Phi Kale salad is fresh and flavorful, with crispy quinoa and a mix of mango and peanuts. The cauliflower hummus with sun-dried chili tomato sauce is creamy and smoky.
Their take on fattoush replaces the usual crunch with lentils, butternut squash, and a tahini-sumac blend — different, but enjoyable.
Hot appetizers stand out: golden cheese bags are satisfying, spinach chips are playful, and the Peco crunchy chicken sticks deliver crunch and spice with a dipping sauce.
For mains, the Persian platter and Marrakesh lamb chops are well-seasoned and aromatic. The truffle- and mushroom-stuffed pasta is rich and earthy, while the grilled lasagna is inventive and can be ordered as a main.
Portion sizes can vary. For instance, the Raju chicken is a single portion and can feel slightly spicy. Dessert is a must — try the banana tiramisu, light and creamy.
The tea bar is consistently impressive, with iced teas like Earl Grey, Oolong, and Hibiscus that are refreshing and balanced. Many guests return for another glass.
