Sultan’s Steakhouse in Riyadh offers a consistently pleasant dining experience with a strong focus on quality and service. The atmosphere is comfortable and tastefully designed, making it suitable for a variety of occasions, whether casual dinners or more formal gatherings. The staff are courteous and attentive without being intrusive. Service is smooth and well-paced, which helps create a relaxed environment. It’s clear that care is taken in both presentation and preparation, and the ingredients appear fresh and thoughtfully selected. The menu is well-curated, with a variety of options that cater to different tastes. Dishes are prepared with attention to detail, and the overall quality is commendable.

One of the standout aspects is the consistency — each visit feels reliable in terms of both food and service. The team seems knowledgeable and willing to make helpful recommendations when asked, which adds to the positive experience. While it’s on the higher end in terms of price, the overall value feels fair given the quality and setting. Sultan’s Steakhouse is a solid choice for those looking for a well-executed meal in a refined but unpretentious environment. I look forward to visiting again!

Had dinner at Sultan’s Steakhouse and it was a great experience. The steak was flavorful and cooked just right, and the sides like fries, vegetables, and mashed potatoes were fresh and tasty. The atmosphere inside is warm and elegant, with nice lighting and plenty of space to enjoy a relaxed meal. Service was friendly and well-paced, and they offered complimentary tea at the end which was a nice gesture. It’s a bit pricey compared to casual spots, but the food and overall experience make it worth it.

Sultan’s Steak House delivers a true Turkish steakhouse experience with quality cuts and authentic flavors. The steaks are cooked to perfection, juicy and well-seasoned, The ambience is elegant yet welcoming, and service is attentive without being rushed. Prices are on the higher side, but they match the quality and generous portions. A great spot for family dinners or business meals Never disappoints

Extremely delicious food and sizable portions. Nice environment and pretty good weekday lunch specials. The only negative thing is that the staff was too serviceable: hovering around our table, moving plates around every time they came to the table, and asking if everything is alright too much.
Joshua S — Google review
The location and atmosphere are truly stunning, offering a diverse selection of flavors. The menu features a wide range of Turkish dishes, providing something for everyone. While the food is of excellent quality, the prices are on the higher side. The service is average, with staff being generally attentive but not exceptional in their approach.

Restaurant
Smokey Beards Q is a lively Texas-style smokehouse that offers classic BBQ trays and sandwiches until late. The restaurant's retro 1970s decor with wood panels and mix-and-match brick walls adds to its hipster charm. It's known for its carnivore-friendly menu featuring popular treats like ribs and beef brisket. Despite serving American food, this Saudi Arabian concept impresses diners with generous portions and a welcoming atmosphere drawing inspiration from the southern states.
This is a fantastic spot for satisfying your BBQ cravings with house-made brisket and ribs, using high-quality meats and excellent sides. Your brisket sandwich can be customized with toppings to your liking. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere is laid-back with a focus on the meat, as it should be. Highly recommended and will be back next year when i visit Riyadh again.

This was my first time at SmokeyBeards but had heard such good things so I went to try it out. The welcoming & service was excellent - friendly and prompt, and had a great sense of humor. The atmosphere was pretty good , with some people. The food was delicious! I had the Pulled Brisket Sandwich BBQ and some side orders , it was good! I would highly recommend and I will absolutely return. 9/10 👌 My improvement suggestion: to have a choice of bread 🥖 selections and to put it into an oven after preparing.

I went there with a friend for brisket. We arrived 5 minutes after prayer time and the place was closed for prayer. We asked the waiter to let us in just to sit in the air-conditioning but he refused so we had to sit outside in the heat. They ended up opening the doors 45 minutes later!! We went inside and discussed with the waiter what to order. We told him that we dont eat much and yet he advised us to have 1 kg of brisket. We agreed since he was the expert. The portion was very big and we barely finished half of it. The meat was less than average. No side orders are provided. Only sauce is provided. A waiter was selling deserts and he came to us asking if we want to buy which we declined. The waiters were very serious and not even smiling. Prices are expensive compared to similar places. Overall our experience was bad and neither me or my friend would recommend this place since there are many other smoked meat places at much better prices and service.
Naim J — Google review
Tried Smokey Beards and honestly, it was an amazing experience! The sandwiches were loaded with tender, juicy smoked meat, perfectly balanced with melted cheese, crispy fried onions, and their signature sauces that bring everything together beautifully. Every bite had that rich, smoky flavor you can only get from proper slow-cooked barbecue. The portion sizes are generous, the buns are soft yet hold everything well, and the sides (especially the pickled jalapeños) add a nice kick. Presentation was spot-on too — messy in the best way possible, just how a proper BBQ sandwich should be! The place is clean, the service was friendly, and the staff made sure everything was perfect for us. Definitely one of the best BBQ experiences in Riyadh. Highly recommended if you’re craving authentic, flavorful, and filling sandwiches. I’ll definitely be coming back again!

The brisket is phenomenal and the burger looked good. The sides are underwhelming, the ribs are sold as a minimum of 1 lbs / 545 g, and plastic utensils is unacceptable. Staff is friendly and professional.

At 7 Ribs in Al Malqa, prepare for a rib-tastic experience that’s all about indulgence and flavor. This eatery is renowned for its mouthwatering, fall-off-the-bone ribs slathered in rich sauce, making it the perfect spot to embrace your messy side. Alongside these meaty delights, you can enjoy sides like French fries, sweet potato fries, coleslaw, and fresh salads.
The food is great! Love the steak. Perfectly cooked from our preference, its affordable price the portion is good also were 3 and we shared everything, i enjoyed the brisket fries and the ribeye steak. Will definitely come back again.
Mandy M — Google review
Excellent quality meat — perfectly cooked, juicy, and full of flavor. You can really tell the chef knows how to handle good cuts. The only reason I didn’t give it five stars is that the portion sizes, especially for the ribs, are big on the small size of the dishes. Otherwise, everything was spot on and definitely worth trying!
Joan B — Google review
The steak sandwich was a little bit salty to my taste but maybe it’s just me. The ribs was great, great portion for its price. Atmosphere is superb. It’s a great place to have lunch and chill a bit. Will try the brisket next time and the steaks.

Tass H — Google review
I was eager to try this well-known local brand, reputed for offering quality BBQ meats at a premium. Unfortunately, the initial impression fell short of expectations. Upon arrival, no one greeted or seated us, which is typically standard at higher-end establishments. We later learned from one of the friendly and apologetic waiters (an African gentleman) that the manager—who was supposed to be at the host stand—was not at his post. It made for an awkward start, especially after seeing him casually chatting with colleagues from a neighboring restaurant while we as guests stood unattended. Oddly enough, when he did eventually stop by our table and I mentioned the food was good but that there had been an earlier issue we could discuss after the meal, he showed little interest or concern. He never returned to follow up or address the matter. Such dismissiveness is disappointing, particularly at a venue positioning itself as a premium dining destination. On the bright side, the food was well-prepared and flavorful. The steak was cooked to a perfect medium, the brisket tacos were tasty—although the brisket itself was slightly dry—and the brisket fries followed suit. Onion rings were delicious but a touch too oily. The mojito was excellent. The smash burger was equally fantastic. However, portions felt small considering the high price point, and the waiter assigned to our table (an Indian gentleman) seemed to be in a rush when taking our order and clearing the table, which made us feel somewhat unwelcome. At this price level, hospitality should be just as important as the food. While the dishes mostly delivered in quality, the overall guest experience did not meet the standard one would expect. I sincerely hope the management addresses these issues. Guests aren’t just paying for good food—they’re paying for a memorable experience.

Porterhouse is a standout steakhouse in Riyadh, capturing the essence of a classic New York eatery with its industrial chic ambiance. This homegrown gem specializes in serving top-notch imported Australian beef, all expertly dry-aged on-site to enhance flavor and tenderness. The restaurant's commitment to quality is evident from the moment you step inside, where you'll find an impressive display of prime cuts and carving knives adorning the walls.
Top notch. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. From the cute tallow candle, to the wagyu sand, the snails and the filet. The date cake was decadent. Service was also top notch with a very attentive staff, nice ambience. Only the music was a little out of character but nothing terrible.

Nice place. The service is nice, and the atmosphere is also nice. We came here and got steak, bone marrow, sweet potato, and cheesecake. We loved the steak, but personally I did not like the bine marrow.. it’s an acquired taste. We also loved the sweet potato it was soft on the inside, and crunchy on the outside. It came with different sauces like hollandaise, mint, , bbq, and more… they brought butter as a candle shape which was nice and creative.
Carolina K — Google review
The restaurant specialises in high end steaks. But the real stars of the show were actually the side dishes and appetisers. Steaks were okay BUT not at par with the prices you pay which is expensive. The side items like bone marrow, mac and cheese and onion soup were great. Steaks were a bit disappointing specially the fillet. Service is good and staff is attentive. We all had mixed feeling because we enjoyed the whole experience so much until the meat , which was what we came for, was served!!
Ahmad H — Google review
I enjoyed the food but they need improvements on the ambiance. The moment you enter you feel like you entered a very basic restaurant, they don't give high end vibes, no attention to details. The menu us well diverse, food was delicious and served quickly, very tasty complimentary bread & butter served. Quality of meat is good, not the best but for the price its fair. The caramelized onion in the Sandu should be revised, its over effecting the taste of beef. But honestly the food was great, they just need a full redecorating and rebranding. When you pay 1100 for 3 pax, you expect a full extraordinary experience not just good food. Our waiter was superb. Edit: Tarek from management thankfully called and promised to work on the remarks. Keep it up👍

I went to Porter House with my wife and baby, and to my absolute shock, the reception told us that babies are not allowed inside after 7 PM. What kind of ridiculous policy is that? When I asked for an explanation, the receptionist simply said it was “management policy” and that we would have to sit outside. I agreed, thinking at least they could provide a baby chair outdoors — but the waiter politely apologized and said the restaurant doesn’t have baby chairs for outdoor seating. So basically, Porter House makes it very clear that babies are not welcome there at all. Honestly, what kind of restaurant in the world doesn’t allow babies? As for the food — I wouldn’t recommend it to my worst enemy. I ordered the Porter steak, bone marrow, and French fries. The quality was terrible, absolutely not worth the price or reputation. The only positive part of the experience was the waiter’s service; he was polite and apologetic despite the restaurant’s awful policies and food. Overall, this was one of the most disappointing dining experiences I’ve ever had. Families, don’t even think about coming here.
Md F — Google review
I recently visited Porterhouse in Riyadh, and overall, it was a solid dining experience. The food was definitely the highlight the tacos were not only delicious but beautifully presented, showing real attention to detail. The steak, though, absolutely stole the show: perfectly cooked, juicy, and full of flavor definitely one of the best I’ve had in the city. While the food was excellent, the service was a bit of a mixed bag. It wasn’t bad, but it didn’t quite match the high standard set by the kitchen. A bit more attentiveness or warmth from the staff would’ve made the experience even better. In short, if you’re a steak lover or just looking for a tasty, well-prepared meal, Porterhouse is worth a visit.

Very specialized steak place. With dry aged options. The appetizers are great. Bone marrow is very good. The beef ribs slow cooked wasn't a good option. It can be way much better. They offered to replace it, but I didn't accept. Very great service. By the team and the manager. New staff needs a little bit more technical training on the food items.

If you're on the hunt for a fantastic barbecue experience, look no further than this industrial-style eatery that specializes in American comfort food and wood-smoked meats. Among their standout offerings is the mouthwatering brisket, which pairs beautifully with fresh vegetables and crispy French fries. Diners rave about the smoky flavor and tender texture of the brisket, making it a must-try dish during your visit.
One of our all time favorites Brisket! Definitely worth a try to keep on coming back. From everything excelling in taste to freshness of the food rates five stars to make you keep coming back!

As always, serve by our Kabayans'😎 So as usual, its like we're on our own country. We enjoyed the foods though the steak is a little bit dry, but we have a lot of condiments available in the table so its not a problem. The free coffee after it is also nice😅 Im not sure about the others Xp but we had a great time to catch up here with my friends so its good.

And the sour cream? Will its not sour or cream , it was water with yogurt 🙂,, and the white pasta has no flavor and dry 🙂 we didn’t eat it

Very attentive service by the wait staff. BJ was friendly and thorough. Asked about our allergies and accommodated our needs. Food was amazing. We were served in a timely manner as Executive lunches are, the portions were just nice, flavourful and the range is like a symphony that comes together in a song. We stayed for a bit longer because we needed to catch up, as the restaurant was not busy they left us alone. Thank you we had a fabulous time and will come back again.

Riyaj made great recommendations, checked in at just the right moments, and made us feel so well taken care of. It’s rare to find service this genuine and professional.

This restaurant was absolutely stunning. In terms of ambiance, it was one of the most memorable places I have ever visited. The design, lighting, and overall atmosphere created a truly special experience. The servers were wonderful and incredibly attentive. One of my friends has severe allergies, and the staff went out of their way to accommodate her needs with care and professionalism. That level of attention made us feel genuinely looked after. We ordered the meat platter, which was on the pricier side, but it was worth every bite. It was flavorful, beautifully presented, and satisfying. The general manager was lovely and even invited us back for brunch, which was such a kind and unexpected gesture. This evening truly made our stay in Riyadh unforgettable. We had so much fun, and the music added a lively and joyful energy to the night.

A special mention to Dennis, our waiter, who made the experience even better. He was extremely attentive, kind, and professional, always ensuring everything was perfect at our table. His warm personality and excellent service truly stood out. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a great dining experience in Riyadh!

The place is luxurious, beautifully decorated, the staff(especially Joy) were sweet and amazing quite honestly! I loved the way the food was served, the staff preparing food on the table. I loved the experience. Joy (staff) was taking care of us as if we were VIP which was special. It is my birthday and they made it special so thank you. They also provided a gift before we leave. Dessert with a picture of us (after they took permission to take a photo). Thank you Coya

Nestled in the Yasmin Center of Al Yasmin, KUSH by Lokal is a must-visit American eatery that truly excels in delivering mouthwatering barbecue delights. Open late into the night, this charming spot specializes in slow-cooked Rocky's Ribs slathered with their signature homemade barbecue sauce and topped with crispy tortilla shavings. While burgers and fries are on the menu, it's the ribs that steal the show!
Delicious burger and delicious starters 😋. Highly recommend giving it a try. But keep in mind the place is small with limited tabels to dine in and lastly the price are reasonable in my opinion, Our orders: Eastcoast Fries 8/10 Brisket Cheese Poppers 8/10 Frita Burger 10/10 Black Smoke BBQ 9/10 Black Truffle Burger 9/10

First time trying this place. Service is perfect, food is really great, and prices are reasonable. Interior is simple, not a lot of decorations like other modern sit down restaurants. I recommend getting Sweet Potato Fries( was really surprised of the taste, I rarely enjoy sweet potato fries), Frita Burger and Lokal Shrimp. I’m giving them 4 stars because I wanted to get Rocky’s Ribs but they told me it wasn’t available. Also they only had one restroom for males

I ordered Frita Burger and Lokal shrimp as a side. Burger size is good but greasy and sweet which was not described well in the menu. Shrimp is overpriced compared to its quality, the flavor also tends more to a thick honey. Overall not really bad, but they should revisit the prices

YUMMY!! Both burgers were really tasty. The fries were on another level🤤 I don’t really recommend the chicken poppers, they are super spicy to the point you cannot sense the remaining flavors. All in all, I’d come back for sure.

Villa Mamas Riyadh is more than just a restaurant; it's a luxurious reflection of chef Roaya Saleh's home. The menu features locally sourced, seasonal, and organic ingredients that create a delightful dining experience. Inspired by childhood memories and travels across the Middle East, this establishment in Al Bujairi Heritage Park is the fourth iteration of the concept originating from Bahrain and expanding to Abu Dhabi and London.
A hidden gem. Staff was very helpful and the food was amazing 😋 they have a great blend of dishes and huge fusion of local, Indian and pasta. Kids menu as well. Would def try their house special lamb. Tip: make reservations and ask to sit outside. Has a great atmosphere. The staff was very attentive and accommodating to support my kids with nut allergy.

This beautiful place is a must visit in Diriyah if you fancy some Middle Eastern food. The atmosphere is excellent, the staff are friendly and very attentive, we had Pain looking after us throughout the night and we felt the most welcome with his calming voice, his great smile and his kindness.

Villa Mamas at Bujairi Terrace is a gem! The atmosphere is warm and elegant, blending modern design with traditional touches. The outdoor terrace views are stunning, and the staff are friendly and attentive. The food is the real highlight, authentic Middle Eastern flavors with a creative twist. Dishes like the lamb ghouzi and eggplant salads were outstanding, and the desserts are a must-try. A little pricey, but absolutely worth it for the quality and experience. Highly recommended!

Villa Mamas in Diriyah is not merely a restaurant, it is a lyrical encounter with heritage, memory, and the art of nourishment. Tucked within the historic embrace of Al Bujairi Heritage Park, it stands as a tribute to the soul of Najd and the culinary imagination of Chef Roaya Saleh. The restaurant’s presence in Diriyah, a site that once cradled the First Saudi State, is no coincidence. It is a deliberate fusion of past and present, where mudbrick walls and palm-lined courtyards echo with stories of resilience and grace. Chef Roaya’s journey began in Bahrain, where her passion for food was shaped by childhood travels. Villa Mamas emerged from this tapestry of experience, offering dishes that are not just meals but memories. In Diriyah, her vision finds its most majestic expression. The menu is a celebration of Gulf flavors, saffron-laced biryanis, slow-cooked meats and delicate desserts infused with rosewater and nostalgia. Each plate is a narrative, each spice a verse. The ambience is both elegant and emotive. With seating for over 200 guests, including two outdoor terraces that overlook cultural landmarks, the space invites reflection. The architecture honors Najdi tradition while embracing modern comfort. It is a place where conversations unfold slowly, where the scent of cardamom mingles with the breeze and where the past feels tenderly alive. As someone drawn to places that blend literary depth with sensory delight, Villa Mamas felt like a sanctuary. It is not just the food or the setting, it is the emotional resonance that lingers long after the meal ends. Like a well-crafted ghazal, it leaves you yearning, not for more dishes, but for more moments. Whether you are a seeker of heritage, a lover of poetry, or simply someone who appreciates dignified hospitality, Villa Mamas in Diriyah is a destination that beckons again and again. - Waqar Naseem Wamiq -

American restaurant
Uncle Khalil’s BBQ, located in Riyadh, is a culinary gem that takes barbecue to the next level. Here, you’re not just enjoying a meal; you’re diving into the rich legacy of Khalil Khazander, renowned as Saudi Arabia's Godfather of Smoked Meat. The restaurant boasts an industrial-chic ambiance with its sleek black metal and exposed brick design, creating a cool yet relaxed vibe.
I’m not really a bbq person, even in the states but I appreciate the authenticity or close to authentic to southern smoke houses as this restaurant. The service is confusing if it’s your first time. The restaurant will let you try everything to help you make a decision on what you want to eat. I also liked that very much. The food was very good. I wanted more spicy but I also know for eating the hottest chili out there. I got brisket, beef cheeks, ribs and a whole bunch of sides. I enjoyed every bite. It was delicious, I could stop eating but I knew I had to save some for the later. The staff is very welcoming, I have heard great things about the owner but didn’t meet him that day. Lovely atmosphere, great food, definitely recommend.
Nicole B — Google review
There’s BBQ… and then there’s Uncle Khalil’s BBQ. Nestled in Riyadh with a vibe that feels like home, this place delivers meat with meaning—smoked, seasoned, and served with that unmistakable old-school passion. Let’s talk brisket. Smoky, tender, and infused with deep mesquite flavor, each slice had that perfect smoke ring and melt-in-your-mouth texture. The lamb ribs? Finger-licking good—crispy on the outside, juicy and well-marbled on the inside, with a spice rub that hits all the right notes: smoky, peppery, and subtly sweet. The sides? The cornbread was warm and crumbly, the coleslaw crisp and tangy, and the BBQ beans were downright addictive—loaded with bits of brisket and just enough kick to make you go back for more. Why not five stars? Just a couple things: the wait time was a bit long, even though the place wasn’t packed, and the sauces, while solid, could use a bit more variety (would love a Carolina-style or mustard-forward option). Still, the hospitality was real, the portions generous, and the overall flavor? Outstanding. Uncle Khalil knows what he’s doing over that pit—and it shows. If you’re in Riyadh and craving legit, soulful BBQ with a Saudi twist, this spot is an absolute must.

Uncle Khalil's BBQ delivers a fantastic combination of flavor and hospitality. The food quality is top-notch, earning a five-star rating. Each dish is carefully prepared, with rich flavors that showcase authentic BBQ mastery. The service matches the food’s excellence, as staff members are attentive and welcoming, ensuring a smooth dining experience. The restaurant's atmosphere is inviting, though slightly short of perfection with a four-star rating. While comfortable and pleasant, there’s potential for refinement. With moderate noise levels, it’s easy to hold conversations, making it a great spot for a casual meal. Spending between 120 to 140 per person, the pricing is reasonable considering the quality of the food and service. The pricing can be lower depending on your order but for a full course meal, expect to pay more than a 100.The lack of wait time for a table is a huge plus, making the experience seamless and stress-free. Uncle Khalil’s BBQ is best suited for small groups of three to four people but can accommodate larger parties as well. Parking is convenient, ensuring hassle-free access to the restaurant. Overall, Uncle Khalil's BBQ is a solid choice for BBQ lovers who appreciate excellent food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommended!

One of the top spots for smoked meat in Riyadh! The ribs are incredibly flavorful, so good they might even tempt a vegetarian to reconsider. The brisket and sausage are equally mouthwatering, tender, and perfectly smoked. Indoor and outdoor tables are comfortable. The restaurant itself is on the smaller side with modest decor, which could benefit from a refresh to match the quality of the food. A suggestion for improvement, it would be great if the staff served the food to tables, rather than having customers pay while carrying their own trays! Last thing toilets are bad ..

This was our first time at Uncle Khalil’s and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. We got to sample every single thing before we made our choices. I ordered the Mac and cheese and brisket. The Mac n cheese was something out of my childhood. I absolutely loved it with the brisket. We also ordered the finger ribs and coleslaw which were yummy! This is a really interesting place where the atmosphere is simple and the food is comfort type food. We’ll be back!

The nacho chips were delicious, and the overall atmosphere and service were decent. However, the fried shrimp was overcooked. When I mentioned it, the staff said that it was supposed to be that way, but for some reason, it had a burnt taste. I visited during the daytime, and one of the female staff members, who seemed to be of Filipino descent, appeared to need improvement in her service attitude. She kept standing there with a dissatisfied expression, making it uncomfortable to ask anything. Additionally, when I made a request, she responded in a very indifferent manner.

I recently visited Slow BBQ and was impressed with the quality of the meat. The brisket was absolutely on point—tender, flavorful, and clearly their specialty. The quesadilla was good, and the brisket sandwich was decent, though not as memorable as the brisket on its own. Among the sides, the fries stood out as excellent—crispy and well-seasoned. The coleslaw was fresh and enjoyable, while the mashed potatoes were just average. Since sides help complete the overall dining experience, I think there’s room for improvement there. It would also be nice to see a dessert or two added to round out the meal. That said, I’ll definitely be going back for the brisket—and I’m excited to try the short ribs next time!

Went there on a Friday afternoon for lunch. They recently opened so they don’t have many diners yet. Food was really good the music level was perfect where you can hear it yet you can engage in conversation with your party. Update: we went there recently and the service was really bad and slow ! Even though not so many people were there and they didn’t have many waiters and also the food came late. Their steak was good though we asked for medium well it was more like medium to medium rare. They removed the baby octopus and scallops dish which was actually tasty. Overall I’d avoid coming to visit if their service would continue like this.

The place was nice with lovely decor and the staff were friendly. We came in for lunch and ordered the bacon as appetizer and it was delicious. It’s rich and has a flavor similar to beef jerky with a nice sweet tone. It’s complemented nicely with the pickles. The margarita pizza was nice, nothing special. We ordered the bone in strip loin steak as our main course. Unfortunately as it is cut on a hot plate it cooked above the temperature we would like becoming well done when we ordered it as medium. I would suggest ordering it much less than what you expect to avoid this. Their fries were nice and the assortment of sauces were a nice addition.
