Msayya of Indian restaurant — Restaurant in Medina Province

Bad experience with staff We left from restaurant without eating anything, please read below if your an Indian.

I had an extremely disappointing encounter with the restaurant's staff, marked by a clear bias favoring Saudi and white patrons while showing disregard for individuals of Indian descent, like myself. The wait was an extended 15 minutes, and when a staff member finally attended to us, the experience took a turn for the worse. The individual, who appeared to be handling receipts, was not only disrespectful but insisted that we place our order at the restaurant reception.

This discriminatory treatment during our dining experience left a profound negative impact. For fellow Indians contemplating dining here, I strongly advise against it.

I visited Msayya restaurant along with family on yesterday, 27th July 2024 for having lunch after reading reviews and pics. We ordered mixed grill, biryani rice, lentil or daal, samosa mix. Nothing except lentil and the free welcome mint drink was good, mixed grill was very disappointing as one of the kebababs (red minced chicken kebab) was stale and we couldn't eat that and the other kebabs were smelling bad too, so ended up wasting SAR 45 on this.

My request to the owners of the restaurant is to improve the quality of food by appointing a better chef from India. For those who want to visit, you may try other items on the menu as I may have ordered the wrong...

We stayed in AlUla for 7 days, and 6 out of those 7 days, we ate here. We absolutely love this place! The food is hands down the best, and the service is amazing. The restaurant is very clean. It’s nice and cool too. They have an open space and also private rooms, which we used — it was perfect for privacy.

The best chicken I’ve ever had in my life was here. I’ve never tasted better chicken anywhere else, and we even went to a fine restaurant in Old Town where I ordered the same dish, chicken tikka, that cost 3x as much, but it was terrible. I couldn’t even chew it.

This place is also very...
