Amou Hamza is maybe the 3rd or 4th sea food restaurant that I have tried here in Jeddah. I have to say for someone who does not have a great fondness for sea food, I had a wonderful experience there. I have to start with the atmosphere and the interior design of the family section of the restaurant (airplane roundabout branch). Once you enter the family section, you immediately feel that you have entered an underwater cave with all the walls made to look like the inside of a water cave. Also, from inside the booth you can see what is happening outside from the fish tank designed windows, which I believe would have had a better effect if they were actually filled with small fish.
Concerning their food, my husband and myself ordered the shrimp soup which was only 10SR. It was a medium sized bowl which was filled to the rim with creamy minced shrimp soup. However, I have to say, I ordered my soup spicy, and spicy was definitely an understatement. So I recommend one to not order anything spicy unless you can endure 100% red chilli peppers. We also ordered a small platter of mixed salad which included 5 different salads, which unlike other restaurants had the taste of freshness and didn’t have any foreign objects in it like pieces from other salads. I particularly liked the mish (which is the red salad,it is made from cheese with tomato sauce). This platter cost 15SR, and of course your order comes with fresh bread straight from the oven, and you can order a second serving of bread with no extra charge.
For the main dish, we ordered a platter of fried shrimp 35SR, sayedaya rice 5SR, grilled sho3our 1kg 46SR, and tajen calamari 25SR. Words can not explain my love for the fried shrimp platter, and I advise anyone who goes there to definately try the fried shrimp platter. The shrimp was above average in its size, and the quantity in the platter was enough for me and my husband and also my two small kids. As for the seasoning, the mixture of bread crumbs and spices was to perfection. There was no need for the extra 3 sauces they serve with the food free of charge (tehena, red sauce, and balsamic viniger sauce). The shrimp was moist, not dry with a crispy crunch to it from the bread crumbs. As for the grilled fish, my most favorite part was they way they cut it up removing most of the bones which is one of the reasons I don’t like sea food in the first place, it is too messy to eat.
At the end of the meal I had intended to have dessert, but was too full to have anything other than a small serving of ice cream.
After finishing our dinner which came to a total of 158SR for two adults and two children, which in my opinion is a reasonable price, my kids enjoyed the rides they have in the kids section which includes about maybe 10 games also enclosed in a cave like design.

On the left of the winding Airplane roundabout is Amou Hamza opposite to Aziz Mall, which had been overshadowed in the past few days due to the construction along the same road. But recently I happened to pass through the same lane and being enraged with hunger and a desire to try something new me and my family gave it a try. Amou Hamza is a sea-food restaurant. The restaurant provides sufficient parking for it’s customers, right in front of it. When you enter the restaurant a brown interior welcomes you and different potraits and models of ships accompany you through the stairs to the family section on the first floor. The first thing which is spotted by everyone as one enters the floor is a small pool of water with bridges to connect to seats in the centre of the pool. We spotted a family relishing their cup of tea amidst the fishes in the water with a few sea weeds. An attendant quickly rushes to you as soon as you enter, and accompany’s you till your cabin. The most interesting thing about this restaurant is it’s interior. Each family is given an individual cabin for themselves, with a window view if you desire. A small aquarium is on the other side of the room with small fishes attracting everyone, and it’s most concerted effort for hospitality is reflected by a bell which you can ring through your cabin to call the waiter. The menu is not very big, with every type of sea food being served. Completely new to their menu , we wanted to try everything and so ordered their platter for 3, and a side shrimp B.B.Q. The food was delicious, and cooked to perfection. The platter had variety of salads, meditterian dips, and sea food items. Fresh bread is also brought without any extra charges immediately if asked. The waiters also were co-operative and helpful despite the fact that it was the weekend and the restraunt was gushing with hungry customers. There is also a play area for the kids, where the kids can enjoy while the food arrives but there it doesn’t really take long for food to arrive by the time you explore the interiors the food arrives. It is an amazing place to visit and is also not very heavy on the pocket. My visit to the restaurant was a memorable one and I sure look forward to going back there again. I would also recommend others to make it to Amou Hamza once.
I can only give a generous 5 out of 10 for the sayyadeya rice. I had it with grilled mixed seafood, not bad, but it’s not something i look forward to have anytime soon.
