Operated by the owners of the Shaheen, this restaurant offers more or less the same menu items you'll also find in Shaheen. Having a fusion of Asian and Arab cuisines, diners here are given the choice of having their food served spicy or non-spicy. Relatively cheap by Middle East standards, I personally just have an issue of the amount of Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) they put in their food. In the ones my wife and I ordered, it was quite evident in the Beef Chili Dry and in the Noodle Soup. It can get quite intense at times that an ordinary diner not used to MSG might get slightly light headed after consuming a certain amount of the food. Hopefully they would at least try to tame their application of MSG in their dishes in the future.Service is average to say the least and the design of the interior is quite nice. Another issue my wife and I saw was the use of plastic cups. For a restaurant in a mall that is quite surprising. If you're fond of spicy food with lots of MSG then you might enjoy dining in this restaurant.Dear, Thanks for reviewing Zafran Restaurant, I hope you had a good meal. However, it is not operated my owners of Shaheen and secondly plastic cups are requirments of Saudi Families, thats why its there; we use glass normally.We encourage you to come again and try some of our Zafran Specialties that are not available in any local Restaurants.

4. Kudu
Reviewed By gurufvg
"Life is better when food taste better..." this is the existing slogan of Kudu, one of the popular fast food chain in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Their menu offers a variety of sandwiches, rice meals and desserts to choose from. Our personal favorite are their Chicken and Beef rice meals which are relatively affordable. These meals come with salad and drinks. And, by the way, their home-made salad dressing taste really great. Service needs to be improved but overall this restaurant is one very good option for those craving for something other than broast chicken while in Saudi Arabia.

Located inside Holiday Inn Yanbu, this restaurant boasts of a spacious interior and a cozy atmosphere. A little pricey for the ordinary income earner (even here in KSA), but the service is quite good. As far as the quality of the food is concerned? Well, that is debatable. My wife and I ate dinner here a couple of nights ago. Seafood was their theme for that night. They had a wide array of dishes to choose from. The salad and dessert bars were outstandingly good. The calamari salad was so tasty and the apple pie was heavenly. The problem, I can only say was for the hot dishes. My wife and I were actually expecting some chef to cook something right of the grill or fry right in front of us (similar to what we experience in Radisson) which would be nice especially for seafood dishes like fish, prawns, and squids. But most of their hot dishes were not actually hot dishes. Majority of the dishes were cooked in white sauce with a mixed of Arabic spices. Don't get me wrong, the dishes were OK, the only problem is that it was already getting cold. For the price we paid we were expecting something really outstanding. We were a little disappointed.

To debrief our end-of-project presentation, we went to Ostorah for Lunch. We shared spaghetti, Mezze plate, lentil soups and chicken kabob dishes. All were fine without being even in the galaxy of gourmet. The dining area is a hodge podge of plain tables and chairs with absolutely no softening decor (though the lights weren't quite bare bulbs. Prices were average. Service was functional and polite. They got it done and we got it done.
