Soul Albaha — Restaurant in undefined

We visited this restaurant with high hopes, but it turned out to be a very mixed experience. Here’s an honest breakdown of what we ordered: Lamb Tajine: Extremely disappointing. It was 80% fat and only 20% meat, with a strong gamey taste that made it hard to enjoy. Chicken Caesar Salad: Overpriced and underwhelming. We paid restaurant-level prices but received lettuce with mayonnaise, a few pieces of chicken breast, and barely any croutons. Chicken Tenders: The menu advertised chicken tenders, but we were served grilled chicken instead. It wasn’t what we ordered or expected. Naan Bread: The naan bread we received looked nothing like the appetizing photos on the menu. Baklava: This was a huge letdown. It was wet and soggy, with absolutely no crispiness, as though it had been soaking in syrup for hours. Lasagna: The lasagna had an overpowering cardamom taste, which completely threw off the flavor profile.

Now for the positives: • The pizza, pasta, and chicken piccata were absolutely delicious. However, the vegetables served with the chicken piccata were not good and didn’t match the quality of the main dish.

We spent 400 SAR, and while some dishes were enjoyable, the overall experience was disappointing for the price. I’ll be uploading pictures of the receipt, the soggy baklava, the lamb tajine, and other dishes to give an honest visual representation of what we received.

This place has potential but needs major improvements in consistency, quality, and delivering on what the...

I had an extremely disappointing experience at this restaurant during Iftar.

First, I made a reservation for the buffet two hours before our arrival, and the employee specifically asked whether we wanted a partitioned area or not. I clearly requested a partitioned space.

However, upon arriving and checking in at the reception, we were not given the partitioned area, despite the fact that they asked about our preference during the booking. This lack of organization and failure to honor reservations is unacceptable.

As for the food, it was mediocre at best—limited choices for the price we paid. What was even more frustrating was that, after a short while, most of the buffet platters were empty. When I inquired about restocking, I was met with an immediate “No, it’s finished,” without any attempt to accommodate guests. Even the desserts and juices were completely gone.

This level of service is unprofessional and completely unacceptable for a restaurant charging premium prices for an Iftar buffet. The poor management, lack of organization, and failure to provide what was promised made this a total disappointment. I would not recommend this place to anyone expecting quality food or...

The location, atmosphere and the interior structure are impressive! The spacious seating is a highlight, and we especially appreciate the private seating rooms, which are perfect for big families or meetings. These spaces offer a comfortable and welcoming environment that we really enjoy.

Their bakery is delicious, with excellent pastries and baked goods that we look forward to every time. However, when it comes to the main dishes, we find the taste to be rather ordinary nothing particularly special or memorable. The dishes are fine, but they don’t stand out in any way.

One area that needs improvement is the staffing. It’s clear that the restaurant is understaffed, which leaves the staff overworked and results in some service issues. On our visit, a couple of the dishes we ordered were missing because the waiter forgot to write them down. This meant that the quantity of food wasn’t sufficient for our group. Additionally, the portion sizes of the dishes are on the smaller side, which was a bit disappointing.

Overall, while we love the setting and the bakery, there are areas that could be improved to enhance the...
