At a glance
The charcoal-grilled alternative to Al Baik. It's a chain, it knows it's a chain, and it does one thing well — smoky grilled chicken served fast.
What to order
Whole chicken with Arabic rice — the signature. Smoky char that you can smell from the street.
Hummus and fattoush — round out the meal on the side.
Our take
When the group is tired of broasted chicken but still wants something quick, this is the move. Clean, fast, reliable. Branches everywhere.
Good to know
- Whole chicken meal (feeds 3-4): 60-80 SAR
- Individual meals: 20-35 SAR
- Counter service — order, wait, collect
- Open 11 AM to 1 AM
