Saudi’s First Deaf-Operated Restaurant Is Winning Hearts
In the lively city of Qatif, where the tastes of Italy merge with the rich heritage of Saudi Arabia, a dining experience like no other awaits you. Arina Pizzeria, opened by husband-and-wife duo Hussain Alshbrka and Arina Gabulyan, is redefining what it means to dine out with a heartwarming twist that brings a whole new rhythm to the restaurant scene.
Hussain and Arina, both graduates in business management from the US, returned to their hometown with a vision to blend their passions for food and inclusivity
As stated by Arab News, their dream became a reality in September, with the launch of Arina Pizzeria which is the first restaurant in Saudi Arabia to be entirely run by deaf individuals. This isn’t just a pizzeria; it’s a celebration of resilience, community, and the power of communication beyond words.
What makes this place even more special is the inclusivity it promotes, showcasing the immense talent and potential of Saudi Arabia’s deaf community

At Arina Pizzeria, the vibe isn’t set by music but by the graceful gestures of hands and the expressive faces of the team. The atmosphere is one of warmth and understanding, where every interaction is a beautiful display of connection and joy. Customers are greeted by deaf waiters with the friendliest smiles, and it’s impossible not to be moved by their enthusiasm and spirit.
Visitors are not only treated to delicious food, but also to a deeper understanding of the importance of inclusivity in our everyday lives. It’s a truly unforgettable dining experience that’s as much about connection as it is about food.
