Boston Chicken is now open….we had a quick dinner the other day….the chicken tastes ok (nothing impressive), the salad bar looks stale, the coleslaw tasted bitter, but I must say the salsa sauce was tasty. Overall just another venture which is in lines of KFC.
Dear Food Critic
Le Bistro and Wakame Lounge are now open. please remove them from the list.
done!
Btw Yemeni delight is open and it is located on the 2nd floor of Red Sea mall (next to Steak house)
There is a Yemeni restaurant (more of a Diner)called ‘YEMENI DELIGHT’ at the Red sea mall (2nd floor next to Steak House). the place is small and not so classy but the food is really worth a visit. They have excellent bread, the mutabbak is decent, some chicken and meat dishes are good as well…..the taste is authentic.
Dear Food Critic,
We already had our dinner at Le Bistro Restaurant in The Courtyard and posted our comment about their service/products.
I was wondering, is there any other Bistro branch openning in Jeddah?
Do you figure they would have better service/product quality in their new branch? Please let us know, maybe we can give it another go and see the difference.
there is just one Le Bistro in Jeddah which is now open at the courtyard. Btw i had a horrible experience there and i recommend you not to dine there.
Dear Ritz,
Thanks for the heads up. Although we also had a so-so dining experience with Le Bistro, we should also give them the chance to improve their services and products.
They should push their envelope higher or change operations or resto management altogether if they insist on their current service rendering and product quality as is. Prestige will only carry them so far. Sustainability is a totally whole new game plan. Hope they pick up their service…
Dear Administrator/Food Critic,
We’ve always appreciated your updates on new opennings and such. Perhaps we could also request, as an improvement to the sites coverage and updates, advises of closed resaurants that you have already covered in the site (Manhattan Fish Market in Andalus St – under rennovation, Gourmet Burger in Star’s Avenue and such) which could save us a lot of time travelling to its location and arriving only to find out its closed for business.
Also as a suggestion, please indicate if the establishments covered here caters for families only and/or singles. As I do understand that most of your comments were sent by families, a mention of whether there is a singles/bachelors section will be very helpfull for dining appointments with non-family members (Colleagues, friends, business partners etc.). It is not as bad as smoking or non smoking…the wide outdoors can more than accommodate shisha lovers.
Dear RoamnJeddah, Thanks for your feedback, we are currently working on a website redesign which will incorporate the points you mention above particularly the singles section / family section details.
Regarding closed venues, GBK and Manhattan have now been updated. As a community effort we really appreciate it that if you notice an error or omission in the site, like a venue closing for renovation you also can please kindly email us at any time to inform us. Or leave a comment like you just did
Thanks!
Dear FoodCritic,
FYI, Manhattan Fish Market in Solidaire has also closed already. Their neighbor and sister restaurant Ruby Tuesday informed us that it will be reformatted and openned just before Eid Al Fitr under a new brand of seafood restaurant.
Also, Kick Zone and Gyro in Solidaire has already closed.
Suggestion for New Openings (Update) : Why not have a link for subscribers eg. comments/review similar to any restaurants covered here. Subscribers can and will be more timely to make notice of soft openings and/or closures. As an upside, you do not need to visit all the places to verify its status.
Once the restaurant is already up and running, regular comments/remarks can be submitted on the same block as this one. A formal review can then be posted either by a site administrator or a reviewer/contributor.
I would like to notify you that i noticed that Reem al Bawadi restaurant and Cafe is opening soon in the Rawdah street (Opposite king Faisal Hospital) and look great, and i’m very excited to try it since its my favorite place in Dubai.
Thanks ‘The Chef’ , Sounds awesome! Great tip, as someone who has already tried it in Dubai, maybe you can review it once its open!
Why does jeddah food does not update this section. There have been so many new restaurants popping up in town and i dont see any updates in here.
Just to udpdate you all :
Paul : has changed their chef, the new chef sucks and the food taste and quality has gone very low. However the bread and bakery items taste the same as all of it is imported frozen from France and just baked here.
Wakame restaurant : a new venture by the Wakame at Rawdah street, the new restaurant is very cosy and well designed, the food and service is great. My favourtie sushi place in town as of now. Please note that it gets very crowded on weekends and they work from 1 p.m to 4:00 p.m & 8:30 p.m till midnight.
Le Bistro : One more addition to the cluster of restaurants in the Courtyard, the french restaurant claims to serve authentic french cuisine. I tried a couple of starters, the entrecote, puree and 2 different desserts to sample…i must say it was a very disappointing visit. The puree tastes like water and powder, the profiteroles were hard as a rock (probably frozen)….nothing exciting and fresh. anyways try your luck.
Mug & Bean : We all have seen Mug & Bean at Serafi mall for the last few years, the latest news is that the franchise has been sold to someone else, the new Mug & Bean will be opening in the mall/shopping complex next to Stars Avenue….i heard that the new owners are very serious about thier business….let us wait and see if they can amuse us.
Blu Burger : i recently saw a huge poster of Blu Burger next to the Berts Cafe on Rawdah street. Excited to try thier burger.
Boston Chicken : i recently saw a huge poster of Blu Burger next to the Yoshi Sushi on Rawdah street.
I hope they will serve quality food and maintain there standards.
Dear Ritz, thanks for your awesome info update, we have updated the page accordingly… thanks for your support!
When will PF Chang’s open in Jeddah
I must say that I was disappointed with Red Lobster in Dubai, so I am not that excited about it opening in Jeddah.
P.F. Chang’s
Red Lobster
Texas Roadhouse
Okku
Olive Garden
When is P.F. Chang’s going to open and when?
I heard Texas Road House is going to open in Red Sea Mall next year.
619 BURGER is OPEN
Tel: 6030120
Just wanted to know our pakistani amd indian food lover that barr. B. Q tonight. Is.
Opening shortly in jeddah. At flimingo. Mall.
So Brasa of Brazil is open now, and you can marvel in the amazing experience. I have not been to Jeddah’s branch as of now, but the location is aweosme (Andalus Street behind Uptwon 996), the concept is great (think Spear’s but better and presumably cheaper), and if they can retain the level quality of food and service of their original Bahrain branch, then I predict it will be one of the hottest most sought after restaurant in Jeddah. On their Facebook page they posted several contact numbers for reservations. Here goes their announcement:
“Brasa De Brazil Jeddah
will be opening on 14 august 2012
Try to reserve your seats today…
For reservations & information please call on: 0549865555, 0555484793, 0503231775, 0559321136, 0559209366, 055013240″
Just wanted to let everyone know that The Counter Burger is now open in Jeddah. So please come in and try it out. We can’t wait to welcome you into The Counter family.
Anybody know if Shake Shack is opening in Le Mall and when? Thanks
So I have good news Jeddah’s dinners. The Brazilian sensation “Brasa de Brazil” is opening soon to Jeddah. If you have been to Bahrain or Khobar, you probably know what I am talking about. If you haven’t, then think “Spears” only way more affordable and with better and more meat selections. The location is perfect, on Andalus Street behind “Uptown 966″, formerly “Casper and Gambini”. For more info about “Brasa de Brazil” visit their website:
http://brasadebrazil.com/bah/
great, thanks for the tip! looks good, looking forward to trying this out soon!
Muse is open already, its location in Jeddah Equsitrian Club in Hamra near Park Hayatt Hotel. You can find all information including contributor’s reviews, restaurant informations, and locationn map on JeddahFood on the following link:
http://www.jeddahfood.com/?p=15126
Thanks a lot Ayaa1977. Its very much appreciated. Will try to visit there any day now…
Anyone knows where MUSE is located or whether they have openned already or not? Appreciate your help on this…Thanks!
Been to UNO restaurant in Jeddah last week. Service has become very bad. Some items (Onione soup) was not available. We were told that Ice cream was not cold enough for serving with their famous cookie desert.
ther is a restaurant name royal taj on sabain street azizia which is on opening soon .it has a great look from out side lets see what is inside and how the food is
ya i have seen it too .great out decor
Speaking of newly opened restaurants, Outback Steakhouse is open in Teatro Mall in Tahlah street near the intersection with Prince Dultan St.
Tikke is OPENED ,, it’s a Turkish restaurant located on Rawdah street , next to Takhasosi Hospital
I’ve been there yesterday with my family, good interior relaxing atmosphere , it is new although the service is good the grilled things takes a bit time to be served i think it’s better to ask the waiter to serve everything together ,, it’s a new place not settled yet delicious food !
been there 2 times and both times the service was very bad, the waiters and manager just did not want to be bothered by customers.
any1 knows where is the counter restaurant located?
619BURGER is opening in 2 months, can anyone conform? I heard they offer only daily fresh beef & chicken Burgers (never frozen) The menu will have Corn Dogs, freshly cut regular/curly fries and much more…. Finally, Jeddah will have a healthy fresh burger joint.
Good news Jeddah people, Paul is finally open for service. And just in case you did not know the location, it is in the back of Sands Hotel, off Tahliah street.
hello, paul the bakery is open ???
I have seen Teen Food Project. It is a lebanese restaurant in Tahleya next to Capo Grillo and Milange.
I have tried it once. Their chicken liver with lemon was extremely bad! However their tabouleh was delicious, kibbeh, and vine leaves. Many people recommended this newly opened restaurant.
Yesterday, i passed by to dine but I was shocked to know from the waiter that they are closing down!! I am curious to know what happened to them ! They have just opened and their food was good and fast in delivery. Anyone knows ?
I am sorry to hear they are closing down. I tried it once with my friends and indeed the food was good quality and price-wise. That being said, I was there on Wednesday evening, and there was hardly any customers, so I think that might be the problem.
Shakelicious Milkshakes are open now.
And the grand opening is tomorrow afternoon ..
What an experience I had, cool place
where is Paul opening ?
Its supposed to be opening near the car park behind LeNotre and Benihana (near the Tahlia Danube), but its been in limbo for over a year now, so we’re not holding our breath. We’re guessing some legal issue has delayed the launch, as it looks ready to roll.
PAUL is opening soon??? I can’t believe it wallaaah :’)
Keep us posted!
This list needs to be updated…
Places like Margherita, Mayrig and Semsom have opened, and other places like Mezza Maison and Salad Boutique weren’t even listed on here, have also opened
OMG Wendy’s god i miss their frosty

GBK “Gourmet Burger Kitchen” is opening on the 28 of september (that’s tomorrow) they all ready had a soft opening for the management/owners.
Too bad i wasn’t one coz it smelled so damn good!
please update this page, cause some of the “openning soon” places has already been opened, thanks
Can anybody tell me for sure if Marble Slab has opened or not, and if it has opened the exact location…. Thanks >:)
It has not open (as of yesterday). As for the location, it will be in Mall of Arabia, at the entrance of the food court, the nearest gate is gate 4.
Good news people of Jeddah, Marble Slab Creamery is opening soon in Mall of Arabia. I can hardly contain my excitement!!!
we’re excited too! going to change the face of the ice cream market here! and hopefully be the wakeup call others need to improve their offerings!
You missed out Vapiano which, hopefully, will open soon in Mall of Arabia.
It is a fast casual pasta and pizza restaurant chain, based in Germany.
http://www.vapianointernational.com/vapiano/
at the very beginning when Mall of Arabia opened they had planned the Vapiano to be next to the Foodcourt. Now it has become TGIF, I am not sure if they are still planning to open there…
find more info here:

Rosso Pomodoro in Basateen Mall
http://rossopomodoro.co.uk/
Garada Indonesian Restaurant in Al Hamra
(under construction)
Is Rosso Pomodoro already opened?
Garuda has opened a couple of day’s ago. I gave it a try and ordered Chicken Satay for take away. It tasted totally awful and a Indonesian colleague of mine only took one bite and said it has nothing to do with Satay from Indonesia. If a Indonesian restaurant can not manage to prepare one of the most simple and common dishes than they should rather not open…
Sabarro is also opening soon in khalidia
i learned from the sbarro staff in balad that khalideyyah opens this week. hera’a street branch is also in the works…
Flapjacks already opened and its bad i did a review but w8ing 4 it 2 be posted.

Thank you & More Power to Jeddahfood.com
Best regards,
Nap Peredo
I’m so excited wendy’s is coming back i hope in the Heart of jeddah in Corniche Balad there will be an outlet more power to jeddahfood.com
the only restaurants jeddah needs are :
CHECKERS
TACO BELL
SUBBARO
CHOPATLI
for now ..
There used to be a Taco Bell in Jeddah. It wasn’t very good, and closed.
true, although for the nostalgic you can still pick up one of their tacos at تاكو بل in the Dubai Mall, although i feel the quality of their meat is questionable… theyre the McDonalds of Mexican food…!
There’s also a new Asian restaurant opening on Prince Sultan Street called Chopstix! it’s next to the new Ruby Tuesday! Looks promising cause they have a big picture of a dumpling on the shop
Is this the same Chopstix that’s in Beirut? If so, then the Gulf Royal will have a new competitor that’s competitively priced and serves very good Chinese, albeit slightly different than the Chinese here in town
most probably yes…
http://chopstickslb.com/branches.htm
thanks for the link!
On Al Andalus Street, going to Thalia, before Help Center on the right side is a new building which looks pretty much like a “going to be” restaurant and hopefully soon to open?
thats Mayrig… the famous lebanese restaurant opening soon..!
hei foodcritic, happy new year for all i’ve wrote a review about (Delifrance) it is really a distinguished restaurant and i’d like jeddahfood fans to know about it, so i was wondering why didnt u show my review for all?
Hi Marwa, thanks for your review, it is now up, apologies for the delay!
Hello Foodies….
Its been a while since I last contributed, so here is an update…. finally the Paul Patisserie is coming to town the sign is up in the Basateen Mall in Tahliya (just hope they do the sandwiches not only the cakes) and next to it is Valhrona the chocolate place (which is also amazing internationally) looks like Basateen is gonna become “the” place once again.
Mayrig looks nearly finished and the building looks like it was shipped straight from Ashrafiya in Bierut, lets hope the food is the same.
GBK looks like there is no movement in its construction and sadly I heard they just closed shop in Kuwait, lets hope it doesn’t affect their Jeddah expansion.
The old Toki location is going to become “The Wok” and from what Ive heard should be opening in 4 months time…
This is my update for now… hoping for great food openings soon
Paul is also opening in the backside of Sands Hotel.
As for the place I am eager to see openning Jeddah, it would be “Marble Slab Creamery”. Sadly there is no news about it.
Paul if done properly will be a fantastic addition to town.
As for Marble Slab, Last we heard the agreement has been signed, we’re not sure about specific launch dates, when we know jeddahfood.com members will be the first to hear about it..
I agree with you about Paul, a breakfast there is a marvelous thing to start your Thursday morning with.
As for Marble Slab, I will be waiting for the good news.
Been to OTB in Andalus recently. The place looks more spacious than their Red Sea Mall outlet. The food was the same as usual.
Noticeable with the new restaurant is the high ceiling, raised glass panel windows facing Andalus street. The noise felt more louder probably due to the absence of sound absorbing materials making up the flooring and the stone walls. The piped-in music was also a bit high to our eardrums.
The staff were very attentive and courteus although we also noted that the prices were almost 30% higher than the usual meals at Red Sea Mall. We were later informed that the menu at Red Sea Mall was also changed and made similar to the Andalus Branch. Please be advised that during the time we took our dinner there-they only accept cash as the card on line services was not yet available.
With nothing new to offer, we hope the OTB still succeed in the competetive resto business. They still serve good Mexican food and tacos.
i would like to know more about the location and the cuisine…
and if possible contact number please.
thank you
Sultan Abdulaziz
Hi Sultan, Not all locations confirmed, GBK will be in Star Avenue Mall, Chez Siran is Rawdah Star, Jnan is open and near Tamraty, Maggiano’s will be in Tahlia, Wendys, Marble Slab and Candy Cakes and others TBC. We will keep you posted.
Maggiano’s?? Is that the American chain?? If it is AND they don’t screw with the original and substitute some local version, you will all be treated to very tasty basic ITALIAN AMERICAN food, done in huge family style portions – the more people the better – so you can order more selection to share. They were perfect in the States for catering home parties with the same food.
I can see the complaints now saying this isn’t Italian food – its not so get it straight now (if this is the American Maggianos). Its New York/Chicago immigrants Italian cooking from the “Little Italy’s” of those cities (done commercially of course). 100 years ago the immigrants adopted the local produce and made their own Brooklyn, New York, Boston, Chicago cuisine. Thats what Italian food in the US was for generations until the new wave of upscale, pseudo Italian, Northern/Southern Italian began 20 years ago.
So excited to know that Wendy’s will be opening again soon? I wonder where the store will be located, hope it will be accessible though. I love Wendy’s hamburger and their Frosty of course…cant wait..but when???
We don’t have a confirmed date, please see source article:
http://www.reuters.com/article/pressRelease/idUS109434+16-Jun-2009+BW20090616
ON THE BORDER – Andalus Branch has a tentative opening on Oct. 28, 2009. The Management has already started clearing the construction materials and have cleaned te dining area as preparation for their soft opening.
If all goes well, the restaurant will soon open to serve the public on Wednesday, 28 Oct. 2009. This will make OTB’s Andalus branch a readily accessible place for their regular Mexican food lovers living south of Jeddah.
MELANGE is located as the far end of Taliyyah Street going to King Abdulaziz Road. You will find this on the left side just after the round-about in front of Al Roshana Mall. (One must make a u-turn coming from Tahliyyah street going back to the round-about).
They have already made a “soft opening” right after the Eid vacation. And is still to make an inaugural opening. You may visit them thru called-in reservation on these numbers.
Tel. : 02 6695619 or Fax : 02 6638017
They offer a mix of Mediterranean and European fine dining and has a superb collection of “shisha” flavors served in branded Melange crystal bottles specially designed for the restaurant.
The ambience is very relaxing with an option to dine in classic dinner table setting or on a couch – in a temperature controlled area or “al fresco” if the weather is not so humid. The upper level is for families while the lower level is for singles.
Contributing to the comfort of the place is the mellow mood music and the subtle lighting of the place.
Although their prices are reasonably higher than other “shisha” serving café’s or restaurant, the quality more than makes up for it.
Hello everyone, kul 3am wa intom bikhair…
one to watch on the scene that is coming to Jeddah is Mayreg which is a amazing Armenian (a cross between turkish and lebanese that has sweet and sour dishes) that is located in Beirut looks to open soon in Andalus street. From the construction site there it looks like it is also taking the home style approach that is synomonus with the original restaurant.
still keeping my eye open for GBK, if i do hear anything will update you.
as for the above, Le Ciel, I would not recommend anyone try it and do not waste their time, I have had a disastrous experience there…
There is also a place just before Danube Khaldiya looks to open soon called Roody’s so thats another one to watch for. Looks like Jeddah is going to have allot of new places to try in the near future.
Hello Mais,
As have been advised by a reliable source,it will be a restaurant offering international cuisines in fine dining set up.
FoodCritic will surely advise us once they have already set an openning date. Their other franchise Sushi Yoshi is already a memebr of JeddahFood and is sure to include their inaugural.
More power to your FB account. Regards,
i was at stars avenue mall just last weekend and i saw GBK there – although its
still closed. looks interesting so i googled it:
http://www.gbkinfo.com/index.php
can’t wait to try it! see all of u guys there soon…
Dear Mais,
As with any other soon to open restos and cafes, they are always hush-hush when it comes to their menu and style.
Understandably, this is what brings in the crowd upon openning.
I heard form a soemwhat reliable source that it is going to be a fine dining restaurant.I beleive they have an International cuisine but not yet sure.
hello, may i know the exact location of this new restaurant in town MELANGE, a world-class fine dining restaurant and lounge, and SUSHI YOSHI, an ultra-modern chain of Japanese restaurants. I heard this is a new business from SHERATON GROUP so this must be good.
Marble Slab….
GBK….
wow finally people are realizing the market here and acknowledging… lets hope it all raises the benchmark of dining, and I will be a happy camper
Hello JeddahFoodSeeker,
I always find interest in learning about new restaurants and cafes in Town. I even have a group in Facebook with the name of Jeddah Coffeeshops and Beaches that I try to keep posted with the latest news about coffeeshops specifically and their openings.
You came to mention Mélange in Tahliya Street. Any idea about the type of place? Cafe or Restaurant?
OMG!! I’m sooooooooo excited .. I can’t believe it .. Marble Slab is so awesome …so as Yo! sushi ..I tried them both in dubai and I fell in love with them both..
I’m crossing my fingers that either Cold Stone or Ben & Jerry would open here ..
Dear FoodCritic,
Thanks for the info. Will post a review soon as we are able to visit and check out their menu and ambience.
Thank you for the contact details and info.
BTW, there’s also a new restaurant openning in the far end of Tahliyyah street (left side just after Virgin Cafe (Roshana Mall) and before reaching the next circle in King Fahd Street.(You have to make U turn on Tahliyyah before reaching the circle in King Fahd street- it will be at your right just beside Capo Grillo). The name of the restaurant is Melange (from the same company handling Sushi Yoshi chain). Hoping to receive your updates on their openning.
Best regards,
OMG! Marble Slab Creamery is coming to Jeddah? this is great news, I fell in love with it in Dubai. It is a place where you can create your own Ice Cream. You pick the flavor or flavors, then they mix it for you with whatever additives you want: nuts, fruits, candy, chocolate, etc. It is a great fun experience, totally fresh. So where are they opening?
Its called Le Ciel
Tel 02 6525354
Please Review it if you visit!

Dear FoodCritic,
I have always noticed the restaurant atop the builing where Senses is located in Andalus Street – right across TGIF.
Do you happen to know the name of the restaurant on the top of what looks like an airport watch tower? I would like to have their contact details if you have them so I could book for a meal. I heard they only accept called in appointments. Thanks in advance and looking forward to receive this info. Best regards,
Hello FoodCritic. I’ve been trying to make a reply to your post since yesterday but the page keep returning an error message when I submit a comment.
Anyway, thanks for the input. So that is Rawdah Star! I’ve been to that food chan quite some time now. I’ve frequented Bert’s Cafe, Toast Ed and Sushi Yoshi but was not aware that it was Rawdah Star.
Again, thanks for the info.
Can anyone please direct me to the location of Flap Jacks Pancake House…I’d really appreciate to get this info.
And how do I get to Rawdah Star if I am coming from Sari St. and Madinah Road Crossing?
Thanks in advance.
Hi JeddahFoodSeeker, it actually isnt open yet, but once it is, we will let you know, for exact location info see the toasted review, FlapJack will open almost right next to it, and the map is also shown on the page in the info section
http://www.jeddahfood.com/?p=40
toonsla… please dont joke about GBK & morelli’s… if your serious then I better start dieting from now, so that when they open I can become a regular….
Toonsla is right once again, GBK is opening! see details here
http://www.gourmetgulf.com/brands_gbk.htm
and Morellis
http://www.gourmetgulf.com/brands_morellis.htm
Not a joke… You better start with your diet!
http://www.gourmetgulf.com
…my source!!! I hope they will also bring CPK!
GBK (Gourmet Burger Kitchen), YO! Sushi and Morelli’s Gelato are planned to be opening soon in Jeddah. Location could be Stars Avenue Mall.
Toki and charcoal opened
and charcoal has SUCH good burgers!!
a new burger joint is opening up called rock n roll diner, its on the begining of Kayal street next to Helens Cafe… it so funny that for years we never had burger joints and then in a span of 6 months we get 8 opening up…
Thanks for the tip Khaled, yeah, it seems burger fever has seriously hit town..
so did anyone went to that cast and crew place yet? i love the big gigantic logo of theirs.
ive heard that they serve good items, huge portions, in a very reasonable price.
waiters are few though, my friend had to wait 15 minutes to get the menu..she mentioned something about the menu, saying that i “have to check it out!” but after seeing some picture of the site myself on facebook..it looks amazing!! i’m going there soon.
We went, we weren’t served for over 15 minutes, when the waiter arrived he was unable to answer our questions, he couldn’t recommend a drink, after waiting this long, he then said he would give us more time (instead of asking us if we needed more time) and disappeared before we had a chance to order anything, without further ado, we got up, and walked out.. We cant comment on the food, but furniture was awkward (almost garden like), booth seating too high for the tables (you have to lean forward), and the place is full of shisha smoke, if that doesnt bother you, this may be just your thing, we will pass on this one and leave it to be reviewed by someone else..!
Thanks for the tips!
Route 66 on Rowdah Street is expected to open anytime. Employees are already on site and they conduct training. It is a American Diner, with open Kitchen Concept, interior remids of Joe’s Diner etc. Family section seems to be on 1st floor
Zodiac opening May, food tastings were conducted and staff is on site. At night the lights are already switched on!
New Ruby Tuesday next to Sultan Mall
Vapianio Italian Restaurant in Mall of Arabia was exchanged with TGI Friday’s
