Where to Eat in Dammam: The Best Restaurants and Bars
Dammam (Arabic: الدمام ad-Dammām) is the capital of the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia. The judicial and administrative bodies of the province, plus several government departments, are located in the city. Dammam is the largest city in the Eastern Province, and the sixth largest in Saudi Arabia, after Riyadh, Jeddah, Mecca, Medina and Taif. Like the other 12 regional capitals of Saudi Arabia, Dammam is not included within any governorate; instead, it is governed as a "municipality" (Arabic: أمانة; amanah) headed by a mayor (Arabic: أمين; amin).

what I can complaint about is pricing, compare to the other restaurant it's over prices, my favorite restaurant is **** and it's number one in Dammam and you can get the meal there with 14 SR but you have to pay more 3-4 Riyal to get the same meal from Abu Nawas . The skin is not crispy 100% it's oily beside the quantity of garlic sauce is nothing although you just paid 17 SR.

Coming here is as much an experience as it is a visit to an Arabic restaurant. This restaurant is in Dammam (not the lesser quality one near Al Rashid mall) and you know you are in for a treat from the moment you enter the building. The interior is fantastic from the water feature in the middle, to the Arabic decorations, and even an island filled with museum pieces!!
We were a group of 8 plus a baby and was shown to the reception area for coffee and dates. Then it was off to our private room on the second floor which was colourfully decorated in the style of the Asir region. You sit on the floor (lots of carpets and cushions) with a low-rise table in the middle. This experience is all about sharing from big dishes in the middle.
Our waiter was a big help to guide us through the menu. We chose a medley of dips (babaganoush, hummus, etc.) with lots of their homemade puffed up bread. We selected a range of meat dishes and styles so we could experience lots of flavours. Some of it was grilled kebabs and lamb chops, others were chunks or meat and chicken on loads of rice. Saudi food will never be described as a top cuisine, but it was all very tasty, and we hope 'authentic' (however, the chips/French fries with the grilled dishes may not be authentic!). Desert was Um-Ali which was also very good.
Throw in several bottles of Perrier, still water, lemon-mints, 'near' beers, and the bill was just under SAR100 a head which I call excellent. The food was good, but the experience was 10 out of 10. And should you have the time, visit the museum on the top floor. I would definitely come back again.

The Kingdom's most popular casual dining restaurant, The Steak House was established in 1992 in Saudi Arabia with 11 Branches.
Reviewed By Khalid A - Dammam, Saudi Arabia
Dammam is expanding and attracting many competitive Resturant that steak house should pay attention to. There is a need for renovation and possibly proving new list of menu. Generally, the food is good but with other of the same menu Resturant are opening at large in the same location.

Brasa serves a meat collection all grilled
The dexoration and staff are awesome
The idea of making separate buffet for aoups and desserts and other atarters or rice is a great idea so the kitchen focus on grilled meat
The problem not all types of meat served you need to see the menu and ask for it
If you are going for first time you will miss something to tase there
I recommend to keep the meat menu beaide you and check all types if its not served ask for it they will make it for you in the kitchen
The price is high but its reqsonable to the service and atmosphere

Mix of Indian, Pakistani and Chinese foods on the menu. Clean place, great location, tasty food and friendly staff. A superb combination for success. One needs to temper the level of spice while ordering. The food is usually bland to cater to the local crowd. Instruct the waiter in advance to enjoy authentic tasty meals!

Paragon is first famous and best family restaurant in Dammam. But its not same as Paragon restaurant in Calicut. Not bad for a family lunch or dinner.

Well what can I say about this place. One I will never return and neither will my friend. We were so hungry as well and it was just a disappointment. I had heard a lot about this food chain and so my friend and I decided it was time to try it out.
Something that offers so much and is so disappointing is a shame. The service was ok but nothing to write home about. I am just gobsmacked and how expensive it is for what you get. I have no issue for paying for quality, I have done this at The Butcher Shop and Grill but here you pay so much money for very little.
I had a burger and it was dry, I felt bad that a cow had died to produce the meat that went into that burger. My friend had the steak which was cooked incorrectly but at that stage we didn't complain because we couldn't bear to stay any longer than we had to.
The atmosphere in the restaurant is like a canteen and for the price, I would have preferred to go to Paul's for a bit of style.
After the meal, my friend went home and proceeded to be ill for 24 hours, we're not sure if it was food poisoning but judging by the cleanliness of the place, I wouldn't be surprised.
Never again!

Located on Prince Faisal cross Prince Naif, RED DRAGON in Al Khobar looks so stylish from the outside. It is on the 1st floor while The Yacht Restaurant (Lebanese). One of the better fine dining restaurants. We opted for the set lunch. Soup choices - sweet corn chicken/ hot & sour soup. Then the appetizer - a big spring roll and 4 chicken wings. The main dish choices (chicken, hamour or beef) were served with a big bowl of rice. Dessert is fresh fruit bowl in sugar syrup. It was sumptuous!! Red Dragon is handsomely designed. Table settings from two to a big group.
