Must Eat:

Beverages:

• Cinnamon Tea: Warm, balanced, refreshing non-milk-based cinnamon tea to kickstart the hunger !
• Saudi Champagne: a jar of cold mocktail made from Sprite and fruits such as green apple, apple, orange etc. | A jar serves about 3 – 5 people.

Starters:

• Cold Mezze Platter: A standout starter featuring featuring a selection of creamy hummus, smoky baba ganoush, and flavorful muttabal, perfectly complemented by vibrant salads of tabouleh and fattoush. Fresh, balanced, beautifully plated and supremely delicious – the best starter for the vegetarian!
• Hummus Chicken Bowl: The classic Hummus served with chicken mince, Sulta Fattoush and fresh vegetables. Healthy and Delicious!
• Chicken Pita Pocket: Tasty grilled chicken pieces with veggies, mayo wrapped in a pita bread. Served with fries.
• Qissa Signature Mix Grill Platter (Non-Veg): While the quantity was great, the chicken pieces werent juicy-enough 🙁

Main Course:

• Grilled Chicken Breast: Lipsmacking succulent pieces of chicken breast, grilled to perfection in Qissa’s signature spice and herb blends. Served alongside Toum and Fries.
• Qissa Signature Shawarma Roll: Delicious Shawarma rolled in a pita, pickled vegetables – loved it!
• Mandi Lamb: A delicious blend of rice and tender pieces of lamb spiced with Hawaij (a special mixture of spices containing cumin, black pepper, turmeric, cardamom and more).

Desserts:

We couldn’t try their Kunafa and Umm Ali since they weren’t available 🙁

So had to settle with a Baklava, which was very tasty and fresh. but the Dessert Koshari was supremely delicious, absolutely loved it 🤤🤤.
