About Thara
Thara, on Abi Bakr As Siddiq Branch Road in An Narjis, looks modern from the street, but inside its rooms recall classic Najdi architecture. The cooking is refined Saudi and Middle Eastern: machboos, jareesh and saleeq, the creamy rice cooked in milk and broth, with sambosa filled with camel meat; dates and a tahini dip arrive as you sit down. It is in the MICHELIN Guide Saudi Arabia 2026.
Opening hours, prices and seasonal openings change, so please check with Thara before you go.
