Maiz AlKhozama Saudi Fine Dining Restaurant — Restaurant in Riyadh Region

I arrived alone, the staff had a little discussion amongst themselves on where to seat me and eventually squeezed me into this corner table outside which was completely blocked by 2 massive pillars 😂 didn’t have a lamp like the other tables , anyways . Other people were served tea/coffee on arrival - not me. I ordered, and asked the server to put my phone on charge , he brushed me off and I had to ask again 5 mins later and he eventually took it . They offered some complimentary starters which were not great except for the bread and butter which was tasty. My main came fast and was okay , the rice was cooked very well, fish was a little bland and I poured ALL of the sauces on it to enjoy it more. As staff were bringing out my cutlery, they had an argument in front of me about which table was numbered which , I guess my table was hidden so well I was basically in the staff quarters. Dessert was lovely tbf , a tiramisu style dessert but service continued to be poor. Only one staff men ever made up for the rest of the sour faced staff - a young Asian guy who was attentive, gave great recommendations and seemed happy to be there .

Food was average and service was poor, would not...

I Ordered Lamb Kabsa, Goursan, Aish Bil Laham, Striploin steak along with Crushed potatoes and Sahawiq sauce. As for the drinks, I got the Al Ula Heritage.

The Aish Bil Laham was stuffed with spiced lamb along with spicy cherry tomato and chili sauce that added a little kick to it which tasted lovely. Goursan was to die for my absolute favorite dish on the menu. The Kabsa’s rice wasn’t really that flavorful to me but the Lamb ribs that came along with it were cooked perfectly! Striploin steak was good just not what I expected to be. Loved the sahawiq sauce and their crushed potatoes that came along with it.

Now the one which I was very spectacle about was the Al Ula heritage drink. I thought it was going to be just another regular knock off of a mocktail but it proved me wrong. The mix of the citrus bitters and grapes tasted wonderful. Note their portions are really good especially with the Rice and Goursan.

Overall I highly recommend trying this place out!
