Where We Are Going Today: Relish restaurant – Lebanese and Middle Eastern cuisine in Jeddah

  • Casseroles — from meat and chicken to shrimp and okra — are well-spiced and full of flavor

Relish restaurant at Jeddah Park Mall offers traditional Lebanese and Middle Eastern cuisine with modern twists. Relish’s warm lighting and relaxed atmosphere make it easy to linger over a meal.

Salads and cold appetizers make a strong first impression. The tabbouleh stands out with its fresh and vibrant taste.

The Beiruti hummus is creamy and flavorful, ideal for sharing, while the fattah sabaya features layers of toasted bread, lamb, and pink tahini that balances richness with tang.

The signature relish — a beef-and-date specialty — offers a sweet-savory contrast, while the grilled sajiya kibba and zahra with tahini are both memorable options.

Casseroles — from meat and chicken to shrimp and okra — are well-spiced and full of flavor. Meanwhile, barbecue lovers will enjoy the Kashkash kebab, lamb chops, and family-style dishes like piptio or the royal grill.

Specialties including the stuffed lamb and the shoshbarak with yogurt reflect authentic preparation, while the stroganoff with tender meat and creamy mushrooms adds an international touch.

The menu also features pasta dishes and freshly baked manakeesh, along with desserts such as nabulsiah with cream, Umm Ali, and cheese kunafa.

The standout is Relish Nights — a layered Lebanese dessert with cream, pistachios, almonds, and honey syrup.

Where We Are Going Today: Randy’s Donuts in Jeddah

  • Randy’s Donuts is fairly priced compared to other specialty dessert outlets in Jeddah

Randy’s Donuts in Jeddah brings one of the most recognizable American donut brands to the city, with locations in the Al-Mohammadiyyah district and on Prince Sultan road.

The Al-Mohammadiyyah branch is spacious and designed for both casual dining and takeaway. Upon entering, the aroma of freshly made donuts and coffee fills the air.

One wall features a large poster highlighting the brand’s California heritage and the original Randy’s Donuts location alongside images of well-known American figures associated with the site over the years, including Snoop Dogg. The rest of the space remains intentionally simple.

Randy’s Donuts is fairly priced compared to other specialty dessert outlets in Jeddah. Individual donuts generally range from SR9 ($2.40) to SR14 for classic and specialty varieties, with premium options priced slightly higher.

During my visit, I tried the apple fritter, which offered a crisp exterior, a chewy texture, and rich notes of apple and cinnamon.

The creme brulee donut from the premium selection featured a caramelized crust with a custard filling, providing a richer alternative to standard glazed donuts.

The Long John stood out for its soft, light, chewy dough and thick chocolate glaze, delivering a classic American-style donut experience.

The donuts are noticeably larger than average, making them suitable for sharing and offering good value for their size.

In addition to Jeddah, the brand has expanded into Riyadh, with locations at Boulevard Riyadh City and other districts. Randy’s Donuts is also available on major delivery platforms, including Keeta.
