Kuuru, an ambitious Saudi concept from Leylaty Group and Peru鈥檚 MCK Hospitality, delivers on its promise of a vibrant fusion of Peruvian passion and Japanese precision.
The experience begins upon entry. The interior is undeniably sophisticated, radiating a chic, fine-dining ambiance perfect for a special culinary journey.
Visiting the Riyadh branch located in the King Abdullah Financial District, the service was impeccable, significantly elevating the evening. Our server was a knowledgeable guide, tailoring recommendations and orchestrating a seamless flow of dishes.
The culinary adventure started strong. The Kuuru ceviche was a standout, incredibly fresh and complex. Be advised: Its vibrant acidity is boldly and intensely sour, a hallmark purists adore but some palates might find assertive.
The hotate aburi offered rich, creamy scallop perfection. The tiradito hotate, featuring luxurious Hokkaido scallops and truffle, delivered exquisite flavor, though a touch more textural contrast (perhaps a crisp element) would have elevated its otherwise soft composition.
The Nikkei-style nigiri maintained excellence. The nakka truffle (salmon belly) was beautifully balanced and simple, while the wagyu a lo pobre with the quail egg added to the umami experience.
The niku karashi main course featured a succulent grilled ribeye, perfectly complemented by Nikkei chimichurri and Japanese sweet mustard atop smooth potato puree.
Dessert provided a satisfying finale. The Lima chocoreto combined moist chocolate cake with Peruvian manjar (dulce de leche), ganache, and honeycomb 鈥 rich yet not cloying.
The signature Aka sour cocktail proved a vibrant companion throughout but may have been overpowering on the palate, especially with the already sour element to the dishes I ordered.
My verdict is that Kuuru offers a compelling, multisensory Nikkei experience within Riyadh鈥檚 upscale dining scene. While the ceviche鈥檚 sourness is authentic and the tiradito hotate could benefit from added texture, these are minor notes in an otherwise superb symphony.
Backed by stellar service, a distinctive menu, and an elegant setting, Kuuru is a must-visit destination for adventurous food lovers seeking memorable fusion.
RIYADH: In the heart of Al-Wajh鈥檚 historic old town, the rawasheen 鈥 ornately carved wooden balconies 鈥 are enduring symbols of 黑料社区鈥檚 architectural heritage and climatic ingenuity.
These elegant, protruding structures once lined the homes of coastal residents, offering more than aesthetic beauty, according to a recent Saudi Press Agency report.
Adorned with intricate arabesque patterns and interlocking geometric designs, the rawasheen served a vital function: cooling homes in the sweltering summer heat.
Their design allows outside air to circulate freely while shielding interiors from direct sunlight, functioning as a natural ventilation system long before modern air conditioning.
During the height of the summer, they transformed into protective barriers that welcomed Red Sea breezes and offered shade and comfort to residents, the SPA report explained.
The old town of Al-Wajh, with its preserved port, ancient walls, castles, and historic buildings, remains a testament to the region鈥檚 building techniques and rich heritage.
Once known as the port of Hegra (Madaen Saleh), Al-Wajh鈥檚 strategic location on the northern Red Sea coast played a key role in shaping its cultural and architectural legacy.
