Known as the “national dish of Saudi Arabia”, Kabsa is a traditional family meal that's the perfect option for a large group of people.

Jareesh

It looks like porridge, but tastes much better than its appearance! Jareesh (or Harees) is a popular dish at major family gatherings, be it weddings, national holidays and particularly during Ramadan. Hailing from the northern part of Saudi Arabia, Harees is a dish made with wheat that is mixed with butter and water, and slow cooked with veggies. For the ones with a meaty appetite, feel free to mix it with lamb or chicken and enjoy!

Qursan

Qursan is another famous Saudi dish and is simple and slightly bland – yet super satisfying. It consists of dried thin wheat loafs which are saturated with a tomato based vegetable gravy and finished off with a garnishing of fried onions.
