“Ate here for the first time today.”

Ate here for the first time today. Food was *excellent*. Authentic and delicious. Our waitress was great with answering our questions. Super friendly, attentive and awesome. We had the kibbeh and fried cheese for apps and BBQ mixed grill, which came with baba ghanoush, freshly made hummus and tasty pickled plate. Pitas were fluffy and so good. Will definitely be back.

Ghawar restaurant was an incredible place. It's inviting atmosphere coupled with delicious food and a welcoming staff truly made me feel like I was eating at a local food spot back home in The Middle East.

“A True Gem of Flavor and Hospitality If I could give this place more than 5 stars, I would.”

A True Gem of Flavor and Hospitality If I could give this place more than 5 stars, I would! From the moment we sat down, it felt like being welcomed into someone’s home. Every time a regular customer walked out, they’d smile warmly at us, clearly happy to see us enjoying the food they love — and now, I completely understand why. The lamb chops? Absolutely incredible — perfectly seasoned, juicy, and tender in a way that makes you pause mid-bite just to savor it. The chicken was so moist and flavorful, it honestly didn’t need a single drop of sauce (but I still happily dipped). The fresh bread, creamy hummus, and smoky baba ghanoush were like a masterclass in Middle Eastern comfort — you can taste the freshness and care in every bite. We came here for the first time with my cousins — who are VERY picky eaters — and left with full bellies, big smiles, and a new appreciation for flavors we’d never tried before. From the vibrant tabbouleh to the crispy falafel tucked into warm pita with tangy pickled veggies, everything was bursting with freshness, texture, and love. This isn’t just a restaurant — it’s a place that feeds your soul. I could literally eat here every single day.

“Absolutely incredible.”

Absolutely incredible! This place serves the most authentic Arab traditional breakfast I’ve ever had outside the Middle East. Every dish is fresh, flavorful, and made with love from the perfectly baked bread to the rich, fragrant hummus, creamy labneh, and perfectly seasoned falafel. The tea comes piping hot with that comforting aroma that instantly takes you back home. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the hospitality is unmatched you truly feel like family here. If you want to start your day with a genuine taste of tradition, this is the spot. A must visit!

“First of all the decor and artwork is AMAZING!”

First of all the decor and artwork is AMAZING!! Really captures the highlights of the show “Ghawar” and brings you back to your childhood watching it. We were greeted with a smile as soon as we walked in. The food came out super fast and was so delicious (I ordered the kabab sandwich combo). Bonus: the bathroom is clean!
