About Tofareya

Tofareya, on Anas Ibn Malik Road in Al Malqa, celebrates the regional cooking of Saudi Arabia under kilim-wrapped pillars and woven lampshades: Hasawi kebabs from Al-Ahsa, mandi rice from the south, and marqooq, the stew of Riyadh. Pick up a cardamom coffee from the cart as you come in, and keep room for om ali. It is in the MICHELIN Guide Saudi Arabia 2026.

Opening hours, prices and seasonal openings change, so please check with Tofareya before you go.
