Saudi Arabia is home to many great dishes- some local, others international.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But no one can deny the variety of comforting and ‘nostalgic’ snacks and food that every Riyadhi has once and still feasts on.<\/p>\n

This list probably won’t do it all justice, but here’s 7 we could think of (from the top of our heads)\u00a0<\/p>\n

1. Mama Noura’s shawarmas<\/h3>\n

SAR4 shawarma and a banana juice and your life is pretty much set. It’s impossible to be from Riyadh and have never tried this gem.<\/p>\n

It’s just too gooood.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

2. Samouly with cheese and chips\u00a0<\/h3>\n

A beloved quick-fix for anyone hungry, this goes so well with tea too. Oddly enough.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

3. Filipino, Thai and Chinese food at The Villa Restaurant<\/h3>\n

This place has become a go-to for locals and expats alike. Located near The Eye Hospital, this gem has been around for as long as we can remember.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Craving tom yum soup or tapsilog?\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here’s your spot, for sure.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

6. Beef liver in samouly at Saeed Al Has<\/h3>\n

It’s been around for 40 years, and that inexpensive beef in bread definitely fills cravings we’ve had about this place.<\/p>\n

7. MANDI for SAR 10-20 = lunch settled!<\/h3>\n

No explanation needed.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
