Re: indian food in riyadh

Malaz Restaurant located on Olaya Road on the right going south from the Khurais Road/Makkah Highway intersection offers food delivery to homes and offices, Indian cuisine, veg and non veg. The foods delicious and extremely cheap. Try getting a seat inside there during lunch and dinner hours... phew tough

Re: indian food in riyadh

We live in Exit 7 on Othman Bin Affan Street that leads to Imam University in the North of Riyadh. We usually order Indian food from Indian Summer on Exit 5 which is just abt 3 km away. We used to live in Sulaimaniya buit moved here cos the grandkids attend Manarat International School which is located at Exit 8 across the Alhamra Compound and British School. Its nice and quiet and cool here awayt from the bustle of the big city traffic although peoiple are beginning to move in and massive housing constructions have already been completed. In 5 years thgis will be another Olaya for sure. Rents are also cheaper here although rising swiftly.

Re: indian food in riyadh

I will try the Malaz this evening. I have been making some of my own so far but they just never taste as good, even with fresh green chillies thrown in. I have a very shall we say, "basic" one around the corner from where Im staying at the moment near Shola market called the New Taj which is full every time I pass it at night,I had a good chicken chillie curry to take out the other night, the curry came with 2 side veg curries, a huge plate of basmati rice and about 4 or 5 big chapati's, I thought I was going to do a mr creosote afterwards, but luckily they didnt supply the after eight mint with it ! And all this for.......8 Riyals !!!

It's not that I can't "endure" spicy food, just that its not on my favorate list.

Re: indian food in riyadh

There are plenty of different Indian food outlets and  places to eat in riyadh. I happened to come across a complete directory of places. I find that most places are of average standard but they all have a couple of out standing dishes:D I live in jeddah and I know Pakistani cuisine is different in many ways however we all love food so try MARHABA restaurants it is Pakistani cuisine and Im positive you will love it even if you a die hard INDIAN only... give it a try

Oh and here is a cool link with all the indian restaurants in riyadh

DELHI RESTARUENT from HARA supplies lunch to the offices. Taste is not that bad and more of a north indian taste. Can PM their number if you want to try out once............ U can call them daily arround 11AM and you will get the lunch within an hour anywhere in RIYADH; or you can talk to them to get the food on a monthly basis.

KHANA KHAZANA from HARA supplies lunch and dinner if ordered daily. They also have a monthly card system for 240 RIYALS 30 meals..................

Have not tried many pakistani restaurants in riyadh, but we went to Lahori Khabay, in HARA 2 weeks back with some of my asian friends and food was good. One of my pakistani friend have pointed me to this link when asked. daleeli.com/category/restaur … fX18gX18=/

Some times we tend to overreact to the posts without understanding what is being asked exactly.

The original post was looking for restaurents who can home deliver the food daily. here is the Question again "is there anyone who provide or supply indian food daily in riyadh?"

this doesnt necessarily mean that he is having difficulty of finding Indian food in riyadh smilecoolcool

Malaz and the types are very unhygienic and low end types of joints,that too if you can digest that kind of food ,strictly unhygienic and unhealthy but its upto individual choices

Re: indian food in riyadh

I like Indian food, and the spicy ones. there are many out there, just talk to one Indian folk and he will show you the right path...lol..

Please don't over criticize, just as you said it's up to the individual. And besides I never had heard of any reports of having bad reactions from those joints, non that I know of as of now. Some of my co workers get food from those places and they're still coming to the office....cheers.

I totally agree its up to individual choices and taste and also depending on how much you wanna spend but the fact remains that joints like malaz etc maintain very poor food hygience its potentially a health hazard and u get what u pay for ,what can you expect for 8 bucks

Re: indian food in riyadh

Rents have been upped here at Exit 7 over the past 3 years we have been living here. TheLegenLeads is correct about the current rates.

The place is getting more attention from people living in the downtown business areas of Olaya, Sulaimaniya, Malaz etc and is expanding like wildfire. Lots of shops, banks, restaurants, and utilities freely available at all of the exits, 5, 6, & 7 on the north side. Nice neighbors and still quiet enough for peace and tranquil.

Access to the city is also quite convenient via the Airport Road or King Fahd Motorway. The recently overhauled King Abdullah Road will also serve as a great link to enter the city from the North.

Takes me 15 minutes to get to Olaya from Exit 7 on a smooth traffic day. 30 on a bad one.
