The story
Thara is a modern Saudi kitchen at Abi Bakr As Siddiq Branch Road, An Narjis, Riyadh, and it received a Michelin Recommended mention for 2026. The restaurant sits in a busy commercial center in the northern part of the city.
Warm tones and décor drawn from classic Najdi architecture set the mood. Hanging clay jars and dried palm leaves above the service area add texture. Armchair-style seats and smaller side chairs sit at tables dressed with leather placemats and RAK porcelain.
Arabic coffee, dates, and a tahini-based dip arrive on a wooden tray before the meal begins. Gault&Millau scored the restaurant 12 for 2026. The Saudi kitchen favors hearty, colorful plates such as pumpkin soup, hummus, and generous grilled dishes.
