Chef Albhar — Restaurant in Makkah Region

I recently dined at Chef Al Bahar on Sabeen Street and had a really good experience. We ordered a variety of seafood dishes, and everything turned out flavorful and fresh. The standout items for me were the fried shrimps and the fried fish, which were cooked perfectly—crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. We also tried the hamour fried, hamour grilled, calamari fried, and mix rice, and each dish had its own distinct taste without being overly oily or bland.

One of the highlights was when we asked the chef to make the BBQ spicy. He prepared it exactly as we requested, and the result was excellent. The seasoning and spice level were balanced just right, making the BBQ flavorful without overpowering the natural taste of the seafood. It really showed that the kitchen is willing to listen to customer preferences, which I appreciated.

The restaurant itself is modest in size but set up thoughtfully. There’s a small seating area for men on the ground floor, while families have a dedicated section upstairs with closed cabins, which makes it more private and comfortable for groups or families who want a bit of space. The service was attentive, and the staff seemed eager to ensure we enjoyed our meal.

The only reason I am giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that while the food quality was excellent, the seating area on the ground floor felt a little limited. It could get crowded quickly during peak times, so planning ahead or opting for the family section might be better.

Overall, Chef Al Bahar is a great spot if you enjoy fresh seafood with a touch of personalized flavor. I would definitely recommend trying the fried shrimps and asking the chef to spice up the BBQ you won’t be...

One of the best seafood resturant, great service with excellent traditional local seafood.

My advice they have offers through the days so wait for for offers.

I tried the grilled and fried menu and the winner was the grilled fish and shrimp. Their rice is great authentic syadiah . Amazing seafood with acceptable prices.

They have a new family section with nice decor and they have place for extended family with partition for family privacy. It is children friendly Resturant.

Limited parking lot. They have delivery for most of the days except after jumah prayes. They accept orders by phone.

Only downside it is not wheelchair accessible.

I recommend this Resturant and I will go there to eat 😋 delicious authentic sea food .

Be aware no atm machine so carry cash please and I gave them 4 stars because of that Plz if you like my review...

Last night, I had dinner at Chef Al Bahr Restaurant, located on Prince Majid Road, Mishrifah, near the Bani Malik Underpass.

Chef Al Bahr is well-known for its delicious seafood dishes, including various types of fish and shrimp.

We decided to try their special offer of 2 kilograms of Shaoor fish, along with some shrimp, mixed rice, and a few side dishes.

I was pleasantly surprised when our food arrived just 20 minutes after ordering. Everything was cooked perfectly - the fish was tender and juicy, and the shrimp was tasty and crispy.

Overall, I had a great experience. Chef Al Bahr is definitely a hidden gem worth trying. They also have daily offers, where you can get different types of fish at discounted prices or as part of attractive...
