Southeast Asian Restaurant — Restaurant in Makkah Al Mukarramah

It was our first time there and we were quite shocked by the first impression. As I entered from the front side of restaurant with my family an Asian person standing at reception started shouting at top of his voice at us. I don’t know Arabic so I asked in English and he explained that family entrance is on the other side…….I mean he could have said it politely without panic also. Anyway my family advised me to leave that place but we went around to see the back entrance. Unlike typical Saudi restaurants, family entrance was proper and big. Inside it was fully packed and we got waiting number at 10:30 at night . We waited for 30 min then got seats. No body told us that we have to order at the reception so kept waiting at the table.

What's funny is the cashier came to me all tensioned saying I did not say " SAFARI ".I must admit I only said " take away " but not safari lol . All in all , there is a serious staffing problem with...

“I recently decided to try the Indonesian fare from the Southeast Asian restaurant in Makkah, opting for a take-away to enjoy at home. The chicken satay was decent, but I’ve had better. The highlight was the mixed platter, featuring a variety of 5 to 6 Indonesian dishes alongside rice. While it provided a glimpse into the rich tapestry of Indonesian cuisine, some dishes were overshadowed by similar offerings from competitors. All things considered, my home dining experience was middle-of-the-road, meriting a 3-star rating. It’s a decent option for those wanting to sample Indonesian flavors, but there’s room for...
