Start here for Najdi cooking

Najd Village is a useful first stop when you want to try several traditional dishes in one meal. This guide is for the Takhassusi branch on Al Takhassusi Street in Al Olaya. Check the branch name when saving directions or making a reservation.

Order for variety

Start with jareesh, then add marqooq or qursan for a different texture. If the table wants rice, consider a kabsa alongside the wheat-based dishes. Ask the server about portion sizes before ordering a large spread; sharing two or three dishes can be more rewarding than choosing similar mains.

Use the branch menu

The official menu includes individual dishes and sharing options, but offers and prices can change. Confirm the menu for your visit, including any minimum group size or set-menu conditions. Tell staff about dietary requirements and ask about ingredients rather than assuming a dish is vegetarian or allergen-free.

Book the right setting

Use the official website or the restaurant’s published number, 920033511, to confirm Takhassusi opening hours and a reservation. Ask about seating and access if these matter to your group. The photo here shows Najd Village dining; its particular branch is not identified in the supplied image.

Pair dinner with the skyline

The branch sits in Al Olaya. Choose a separate Sky Bridge visit before dinner and leave room for the journey between them. Read our Najdi food guide before ordering.
