I JUST LANDED IN SAUDI ARABIA & IM HUNGRY!


Visiting Saudi Arabia for the first time? Or have you just arrived ready to start your new job without any idea where to start your life in this new and exciting place. Life in KSA is not easy and information on how to get on with it can be difficult to come by, that is why we have decided to help all you newbie’s and fresh fish on where to get started and how to find your way especially when it comes to eating and dining.

The Internet is simply the best way to get started and the recent years here have seen a boom in the online world where social media and online browsing has dominated our day-to-day active life. It is simply the most efficient and quickest method to get what you want when you need it.

RESTAURANTS & FOOD IS ENTERTAINMENT
When it comes to dining and finding out where the best places are in your area or city then www.sufrati.com is the answer. A comprehensive and creative website that can help any browser find what they are looking for from cafes, restaurants, bakeries, and delivery services in a user friendly carefully categorized search engine with photos menus and more. www.sufrati.com covers most cities in Saudi Arabia such as Jeddah, Riyadh, Dammam, Yanbu, Jubail, Makkah, Madina and more so where ever you are you can always find your nearest place to enjoy a cup of coffee or a full Saudi Arabian style dining experience.

THE Local’s

Eating with the locals in Saudi Arabia is considered not only to be a common daily life essential activity but a form of entertainment and leisure activity that lasts many hours and many courses including several starters, a few main courses, a relaxing round of tea or coffee with a desert and fruit selection to be sealed with a flavorful Sheesha smoking session that brings the meal to a close. All this is also accompanied by great conversation and satisfying presentations. This is sometimes allot to take in and can be a lot of weight gained, the answer to this is you only live once. This is the way it is done here so enjoy it and relax.
For an experience in eating with the locals try (Non Vegetarians Only):

THE SAUDI PALETTE
The choice and variety of restaurants around the kingdom is as vast as its deserts and we can easily loose our selves in the world of food, the Saudi food palette is surprisingly well traveled, not in the literal sense but in the sense that there are more varieties of food in Saudi Arabia than anywhere else in the world. This is due to the expat community flock in their millions every year for the last 1000 years to work, trade and perform their pilgrimage bringing with them hidden recipes from distant villages, towns and cities from all over the world and with less restriction on food trafficking than most developed countries this makes it possible to smuggle in a variety of exotic herbs, spices and other magical and tasteful delights.
One thing for sure is that "spice is nice" and that’s what you will find everywhere. Saudi food is full of flavor and cooked till well done… There is nothing rare about Saudi cooking…Medium is not an option well done is the only way it is served up. 

Try this place for their garlic sauce and famous chicken:

THE HOT SPOTS
Where ever you see the crowds is where it is at and most of the time malls seem to draw the most traffic for their shops and also for their food courts that will impress you. Both local chains and international chains are usually found covering all cuisine and food categories like sushi, pasta, Burgers, Fish and chips subs and much more. Independent restaurants are not that easy to come by around the cities and most would be recommended by a personal contact however most five start hotels host great dining venues with spectacular views and good service.  So ask around or just visit www.sufrati.com hot list to see what’s the latest spot on the chart.

HOME OR OFFICE DELIVERY
Most of us work in our offices and get so swamped with work that lunch at home can some time seem to be a distant memory something that was experienced in another life. So the next best option is to get it delivered right to your desk in front or close to that annoying fax machine that wont stop going off for no reason. Saudi Arabia’s restaurants mostly deliver so there is no shortage of variety and one can generally enjoy a hot meal out of a box.
