Alrawaq Alshaabi, which is located on Tahlia Street in the heart of a lively area in Riyadh, offers traditional Yemeni flavor at affordable prices.

It has indoor and outdoor seating options and boasts pleasant decorations inside. The open kitchen provides guests with an opportunity to watch the chefs in action.  

The tea corner, with its enormous teapots and tea selection, captured my attention at once.

I visited the restaurant for breakfast with one of my family members, and opted to sit outdoors. However, I was quite disappointed as the chairs did not provide much comfort.

The food, on the other hand, was fine, and it cost only SR100 ($27) for two people, which is quite affordable.

I tried the shakshuka, hummus with meat, and the mixed cheese platter, accompanied by black tea. The quality of each dish was good for the price, although not impressive.

However, the establishment is a nice spot for a cup of tea or coffee, or to nibble on sweets while enjoying a lovely evening on Tahlia Street.
