Very tasty food, highly recommend the medium chicken shawarma plate and the grilled chicken

I recently had the opportunity to try the Falafel Shop and was very impressed. The falafel was crispy on the outside and soft and tasty on the inside. The pita bread was fresh and soft, and the toppings were also fresh and tasty. I especially liked the tahini and pickled vegetables.
The restaurants I ordered were all delicious. The fries were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I couldn't stop eating them after dipping them in the sauce.

The food was great, very tasty, fresh and hot, but I wish they put more toast or the cuts were bigger.
The service was fast and the staff was very nice. I highly recommend it, although it is a bit pricey.

Breakfast is always a good idea and Laof is the place to be! Been here alot of times and nothing beats their Shakshuka, the best in town for me. And try their very own Melon Mojito.

A clean restaurant with a view on Prince Turki Road. It has an open space facing the road which is nice for breakfast and evening meals. The staff is fine and prices are the same standard of Alkhafeef.

We chose outside seating. It was really cold.
They started gas heaters. We ordered multiple things. Mix grill was delicious. They provide hot bread. Hummus was tasty. Fatoush was just ok.
Chicken Livers are also good.
