PAKKA RESTAURANT (Indian Food) — Restaurant in Eastern Province

I recently had the pleasure of dining at the new Indian restaurant in town, and I must say, it was an extraordinary experience from start to finish. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with the warmest smiles and exceptional service that truly made me feel at home.

The ambiance is a delightful celebration of Indian culture, adorned with vibrant colors and film posters that add a unique and playful touch to the space. It felt like stepping into a cozy corner of India, full of life and charm.

Now, let’s talk about the food—it was simply outstanding! The Butter Chicken was an absolute delight, rich and creamy with just the right amount of spice. The Chicken Tikka was a revelation—perfectly grilled, juicy, and tender, bursting with flavors that transported my taste buds straight to the heart of India. The Thali was an experience in itself, offering a variety of dishes that were all exceptional, each one more delicious than the last.

A special mention goes to their Chaat, a rare find in Dammam. It's an absolute treat, authentic and spot-on, bringing the street food flavors of India right to your table. Few places in the city serve Chaat, and this one stands out as a must-try.

The service was impeccable, with attentive staff who were not only knowledgeable about the menu but also genuinely enthusiastic about ensuring a great dining experience. They went above and beyond to make sure everything was just right.

Overall, dining at this new gem was the best experience I've had in a long time. If you’re looking for a place that combines delicious food, a lively atmosphere, and top-notch service, look no further. I can’t wait to come back and try more dishes from their fantastic menu!

Highly...

The ambiance was vibrant and welcoming, perfect for family or friends. A special thank you to Jafer, who took great care of us throughout the meal — very friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect.

The restaurant is clean and organized, with a decent variety of dishes. While it’s satisfactory, the portion sizes are small for the prices. I mentioned this to the staff during my first visit seven months ago, and they said they would inform management, but nothing changed by my second visit. I also requested a spicy dish, but they couldn't accommodate that.

Additionally, the main door closer needs repair. Strong winds during both visits caused the door to stay open, letting uncomfortable air in, especially at the tables near...
