#2 سدف
This breakfast spot is found above the grocery store Tamimi and next to the luxary Saudi Hotel Boudl. This spot has the BEST foul/fava beans I have ever eaten! It contains an umami flavor I’ve tasted in no other restaurant! They take the traditional saudi breakfast and have added beauty and texture to it! You order via a QR code. I highly recommend their fava beans, tea, shakshuka, and Saudi Coffee.
