Sea Spice Restaurant, located inside Taiba Shopping Mall near Masjid Al Nabawi, offers a welcoming and clean dining experience for visitors. The restaurant stands out with its well-maintained ambiance and a diverse menu catering to both locals and pilgrims.
I visited this restaurant unplanned while exploring the mall, searching for a place to eat. Upon stepping inside, I was pleasantly surprised by the level of excellence it offered. From the moment I sat down to the time I placed my order, everything about the place impressed me.
The cleanliness was outstanding. Every aspect of the restaurant, from the tables and chairs to the crockery and overall environment, was pristinely kept. It was clear that the management paid close attention to hygiene and upkeep, which greatly enhanced the dining experience.
The staff were courteous and communicated well, ensuring that ordering was seamless and comfortable. They used a tablet to simplify the ordering process, which made communication seamless and efficient.
I ordered the biryani, and to my delight, it was one of the best I’ve had in Madinah. The flavors were authentic, rich, and perfectly balanced, making the meal highly satisfying.
While the prices were slightly higher than other nearby eateries such as Zaitoon, but the excellent ambiance, superior cleanliness, and quality food justified the cost. For anyone who values a pleasant and tidy dining space, this restaurant is a great choice.
Finding the restaurant may be a bit tricky, but entering the mall through the Taiba Shopping Mall entrance near Gates 331-332 of Masjid Al Nabawi makes it more accessible.
Overall, Sea Spice Restaurant provided a wonderful dining experience, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, convenient, and satisfying meal close...
Read moreDisappointed with the food and service on my second visit. I had eaten at this place the previous night where the manager was very helpful and food was served hot and service was good. On my second visit I brought my family of six but left extremely disappointed. Certain food items on menu not available, constantly chasing my order, food quantity ordered was not given, half food given and other half had to be chased up. The Beef curry I ordered was chewy and rubbery. I spoke with the person in charge about the food and service, unfortunately it all fell on deaf ears. The lentil soup was literally water, no flavour at all and the rice was given on the same platter for two even though I ordered 4 portions. The food was overpriced for the portions and quality of meat. The mutton curry I had eaten the previous day was palatable but I had to request that it wasn’t full of bones and chunks of fat. The mixed grill consisted of 6 skewers not much meat at all for 99 riyals! My total bill for mostly inedible food 311 riyals! I would not recommend this place to others travelling in Medina, don’t waste your money unless the actual manager is there to oversee customer service. On my second visit the manager had just left, apparently he also oversees the sonargaon restaurant in medina. I hope this review is seen by the manager and questions are asked about why my family and I received such substandard food and...
Read moreThis was probably the worst food I've had in Madina in my entire life and I've visited this beautiful city many times. Nothing was fresh, nothing tasted good. When confronted, the staff were awful and would not accept any critical feedback whatsoever.
We ordered a range of food. A chicken burger, lentil soup, chicken biryani, butter chicken and fries. The only thing edible was the fries. The burger was awful. The chicken biryani was dry rice with a boiled chicken leg placed inside. The lentil soup had no flavour whatsoever. The butter chicken was awful - no trace of butter, only oil and you could taste the raw garlic and blended onions as it was not cooked through.
All the reviews you see are probably fake in my opinion as they are coaxed. The reviewers themselves have only 1 or 2 reviews that they've done in total showing that the credibility of the reviews are flawed.
The customer service was dire. From the moment the waiter took our order, he just had a complete poor attitude with body language that screamed he could not be bothered. An absolute poor experience! They wouldn't allow us to pay in fear of a...
