Ariyadh Arabic Restaurant - مطعم الرياض العربي

We were driving back to Birmingham from the north and decided to stop for something different. We chose this restaurant for its Saudi Arabian food, and it did not disappoint! We ordered kebda, lamb mandi, chicken mandi, and waraq inab.

The kebda was honestly the best I’ve ever had in the UK — the sauce was unique and full of flavor. The lamb mandi was delicious, with soft, tender meat and rich taste. We didn’t get a chance to try the chicken because the portions were very generous — each dish was more than enough for one person, and we were already full!

Ayoub was kind, professional, and very helpful. He even gave us two extra tiramisu boxes for my girls for free as gift  — such a lovely gesture!

The restaurant’s design also stood out — it offers full privacy so you can enjoy your food in peace. The Arabic majlis-style seating and traditional decor created a warm and relaxing atmosphere.

We will absolutely come back to this restaurant.
Total payment: £35 for everything.
Hygiene: Excellent!

Really enjoyed my experience here. Good prices, friendly staff, clean restaurant and tasty food

Thank you

Drove all the way for 40mins to eat here,not as expected. We asked for 3 dishes in one big plate, salad and tea for £40. We got served in like 10mins, its ok restaurant, not so well maintained, food taste good. The person was kind, he asked if we need more rice but rice was enough for 3people but I felt meat was less compared to price it was for...

We had tasty Lamb and chicken mandi served on a  bed of rice. The lamb and chicken were both succulent served with beautiful long grain rice and brown onions along with tomato and chilli chutney. We also had a side salad and Hummus served with fresh naan bread.
Sat in a private booth and service was attentive. Very reasonably priced
Thanks

If you are looking for generous portions and authentic food with reasonable prices this place is perfect.  We were recommended this place by some friends and it was our fiest time here.   We chose to sit on the floor,  although there is tables available.  There is no descriptions on the menu so you have to go off the pictures.  Our server Abdul Rehman was friendly and great at explaining what some of the dishes were to us.  We arrived before the dinner rush and the chef personally came and explained the differences in the 3 types of rice dishes.  We were given complimentary lamb soup, which was piping hot and delicious.  By the time we left the place was packed out and very busy but they still took the time to make fresh kunafa for us.  I'm not normally the biggest fan of this desert in honesty, but this was the best one I've tried so far, crispy, buttery and not too sweet. The arabic bread was freshly baked and so moreish, perfect with the tabbouleh and hummus. Lamb Mandi and Chicken Zurbian rice was on point with plenty left to take home.
