مطعم هجر للمشويات — Restaurant in Al Ahsa Governorate

This hidden gem truly amazed my family and me!

At first, we were a bit hesitant about dining here with our family friends. The road leading to the restaurant was dark and bumpy, which didn’t seem very promising. However, the moment we stepped inside, it was a completely different story—absolutely unbelievable!

The ambience was warm and inviting, with a cosy outdoor setting inspired by Arabic BBQ-style décor. The combination of traditional elements and modern comfort created a unique and relaxing atmosphere. Since the weather was a bit chilly, the restaurant had outdoor heaters turned on, adding to the warm and pleasant dining experience.

We were a group of 12, including 7 adults, and ordered a variety of dishes: ✅ 1.5kg Mixed Grilled – Packed with bold flavors, perfect to eat on its own. ✅ Grilled Shrimp – Juicy, well-seasoned, and cooked to perfection—highly recommend! ✅ Broasted Shrimp – Crispy, delicious, and a hit with the kids! ✅ Margherita Pizza – A classic, simple yet tasty. ✅ Kofta Arayes – Slightly thinner than expected, with less meat, but still flavorful. Unlike the usual meatball-style kofta, their version was flattened in a pan, which gave it a unique twist. ✅ Baba Ghanoush – A great side dish to complement our meal.

The surroundings added an extra charm to the restaurant. Wooden seats covered in Arabic-style fabric, some within private tents, made the setting feel incredibly comfortable—almost like dining in our own space. Tall, mature palm trees between the seating areas enhanced the experience, making it feel like we were dining within nature. The soothing sound of the man-made fountain further added to the peaceful atmosphere.

I truly hope this place gains more recognition and promotion so that more visitors to Hofuf can discover and enjoy this...

Somehow they need to reconsider their prices one small bottle of water330ml cost half SAR selling them for one SAR! .I know that not a big deal but water most be the cheapest thing you can have in any food place. To add the the Shawarma is a little bit expensive and not delicious as well. In conclusion, the food not that tasty and the prices not that cheap (average or more) ,for me, I am not willing to go there so soon ,but for you

’You should try it out and decide’

Something positive, The place looks very very nice and peaceful

Something negative, The road to this place is really...

Great vibe with the food served in the open air early in march in alhasa where you can breath insanely fresh air. Enjoy playing Arabic music with cool-relaxing arabic instrument! The food portion is surprisingly disappointing compared to what you pay! A hummus platter literally doesn’t convince a five years kid! We’ve asked the cashier to add more humus for extra money but we got nothing with poker face and zero response!

I would recommend the place for those looking for fine-relaxing cup of tea! Otherwise, this...
