Alright, let’s talk about the best Greek restaurants in Riyadh. We already discussed the best French, Italian, Indian, and Chinese restaurants in Riyadh but do we have any Mediterranean options?
YES WE HAVE PLENTY OF THEM!
Riyadh has a ton of different restaurants where you can get your Mediterranean fix.
Think souvlaki, moussaka, and all the Greek salads your heart desires.
From mouthwatering Greek dishes to a laid-back, island-inspired vibe the restaurants in Riyadh will never disappoint you.
The dishes at these restaurants will make you say “Opa!” at the end of your meal. So if you want to go on a trip to Greece (minus the plane ticket) then you will love these locations.
Let’s not wait anymore and get started!
1. Jackie Restaurant
The first one on our list is this beautiful spot located in Al Hada. Jackie has literally brought a slice of Greece to the streets of Riyadh.
The moment you step inside you will feel that the vibe has changed. You will be delighted by the bright white décor and huge stairs that feel luxury and expensive.
The blue sofas truly add a nice contrast to the overall vibe and to add a touch of tradition the plates have a nice blue Greek art on them.
The outdoor seating is also nice but I wouldn’t recommend it unless the weather calls for it.
To make your mood even better they sometimes have live music performances with traditional Greek music.
Must-Try Dishes At Jackie Restaurant
Their menu is a delightful blend of classic Greek mezedes (small plates) and healthy breakfast options that showcase both Arabic and Mediterranean flavors.
Some dishes that I really loved at this place were:
Truffle Scrambled Eggs on Brioche: This is a great breakfast item, especially for those who like a bit of earthy flavor in their food.
Greek Yogurt Parfait: For a sweet start or end to your meal this will be your best option.
Hummus & Lahmeh: If you want something a bit heavy then this silky hummus which is topped with minced meat is a great Greek dish to try out.
Average Price for One-Person Meal
A meal here typically ranges between 80 to 120 SAR for one person, depending on your picks from the breakfast, sides, and mezedes options.
2. Level (LVL)
The second Greek restaurant on our list is this hidden gem located at Prince Muhammad Ibn Saad Ibn Abdulaziz Rd.
Once you try this restaurant it will become your new go-to spot for Mediterranean food in Riyadh.
This charming restaurant is small but don’t let its size fool you because the food that comes out of here has no competition. With its unique green and grey décor the restaurant really stands out from the rest.
Instead of going for the heavy traditional look they have gone towards a more minimalist and upscale look which is different from most Greek restaurants in Riyadh.
Must-Try Dishes
Enough about the restaurant now let’s talk about the juicy part.
THEIR MENU!
They have a diverse menu and combine different flavors to give you a taste you won’t forget.
DID I MENTION?
The vegetarians get a full separate salad section in the menu so they don’t feel left out.
I have tried almost all dishes they have because I am a loyal customer but I would recommend the following dishes if you are visiting this place for the first time.
Kibbeh: These little nuggets are a must! They are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. One bite and you will wish it never ends.
Musakhan: if you love comfort food then this dish is for you. Musakhan includes tender chicken which is spiced with sumac and then served on a flat bread.
Hospitality Package: If you are feeling extra hungry then this package will be more than enough. It includes 20 pieces of vine leaves, eggplant rolls, and kibbeh. You will need an extra hand to finish all that.
Brownies: Don’t you try to skip the dessert or you will be missing big time. Level’s classic brownies are fudgy, rich and delicious. You will leave with a big smile!
Average Price for One-Person Meal
I would recommend going in there with friends because a single meal usually costs more than a combined one. If you visit LVL you will be looking at around SAR 80 – 100 for a meal.
3. Go Greek
The last and probably the most unique Greek restaurant we have seen so far is Go Greek. This restaurant gives a Mediterranean touch to different healthy dishes with minimalist vibes that will surely impress you.
The white and blue decor feels like a slice of Santorini right in the city and the relaxed seating makes the whole experience even better.
With both indoor and outdoor dining options, you can enjoy a spoonful of healthy food under the sun or inside with their modern décor.
DID I FORGET?
They have three branches in Riyadh so there’s always a chance to have a Go Greek near you.
Must-Try Dishes at Go Greek
For yogurt lovers their menu is a paradise filled with plenty of different flavors of yogurt but that’s just the tip of the iceberg because they have more options too!
Energia Sweet Greek Bowl: This is the go-to pick-me-up! This dish includes yogurt that is extremely creamy paired with honey and crunchy granola. It’s a great option for a quick breakfast or brunch.
Rose Petal Spoon Sweet: If you are looking for a more traditional Greek dish then this will definitely hit the spot. This spoon sweet with rose petals is just great to pair with almost any dish they have.
Althea Sweet Greek Bowl: Fruits but the Greek style! This dish combines healthy and fresh fruits with yogurt to give you a colorful plate you wont ever forget.
Greek Salad Savory Bowl: Who said that yogurt needs to be sweet? This bowl includes yogurt, fresh veggies, and tasty Greek spices. It’s light, healthy, and definitely energizing.
Average Prices At Go Greek
This restaurant isn’t on the pricey side because of the simple and light food they have to offer. You can expect to pay somewhere between SAR 30 – 50 for a good brunch or breakfast here.
