Marhaba Restaurant (Olaya)

أجمل مطعم ولم أجد مطعم ينافسه في لذة الطعم اكثر من عشرين سنه معرفه بمطعم مرحبا المكان فقط يحتاج الى اعادة تصميم وتغيير للستائر خاصه. الطاقم تعامله جداً رائع

حقيقة أنا من عملاء مرحبا منذ خمسة عشر عام أو تزيد قليلا والمطعم كان شيئاً مختلفاً ولكنه للأسف تشبع فيما يبدوا فأصبح سيء. ونصيحة لله ياصاحب المطعم إن كنت تقرأ كلامي فتدارك مابقي لك من سمعة بالسوق. اولا الأثاث هو هو مذ عرفت المطعم لا جديد يفرح فيه ولا نظيف يرضي. ومغسلة المطعم تعيفك ما أكلت من سوء حالها. أما القواطع بين العملاء فهي على وضعها المتقطع وكأنك بصالون حلاقة. أما اللحم والدجاج فهنا باب آخر يبكي ويدمي. دجاج اسود ولحم يلوج في الفم مثل العلك! لماذا يا أخي؟؟أسعاركم غالية جدا وقلنا يستحق فلماذا لا يعتنى باللحم الجيد وهو عماد نجاحكم. يوما جئت لكم وانا محب ووجدت زجمة قوية وكلهم من اخواننا الباكستان ربما حفلة. المهم رحت لغيره وكان مثل الذي صحاني من النوم طعم خيال ومنافس شرس. ارجوووووكم تداركو مطعم مرحبا الرمز ارجوكم

Catering to Pakistani and Indian customers, this is an old restaurant of Riyadh.

Unique and extensive menu with a large variety of desi foods from the subcontinent.

Most dishes are good in taste and are served hot.

Price is a bit high and can set you back bu SR 75 per head for a three course meal (appetizers, main course and desserts). Drinks not included. The high prices is unjustified as the same quality of food is also available at other restaurants in riysfat cheaper prices.

Ambiance is old as the owners havent invested on upgrading the decor. Ancient styled curtains, old walls, furniture etc takes you back to 80s in time

Overall 6 / 10

Recommended for one time

This is one of the few acceptable Pakistani restaurants that I know in the city
This place is kinda hard to rate as they are so moody and inconsistent
They have good portion sizes and the food in generally good but many times you receive food that is really greasy and tastes and looks as if it was heated in the microwave. What a shame!
They don’t wanna improve or even do even a little renovation as you can see how old and dirty the place is. It the first thing that hits you when you get inside smelling this fungus-like smell from the very old and dirty ACs
I would only go there if I was nearby and was desperately craving some Pakistani food
The tableware was in urgent need of replacement as the drawing on the ceramic is fading away and everything had oil stains
Waiters are not properly trained as they stand in front of you and just stare

Definitely, no one should take a guest there as there is a big chance they’re gonna disappoint you

This was a place that few of my Pakistani friends asked me to try out and I did. Food was great except their so called Butter Chicken. Butter Chicken Had a very dull color and also had no taste. Rest everything that I ordered was great. Ambiance is old school. I understand that this restaurant is a part of this city for many years But they really gotta update and renovate this place as years are passing by and people are preferring modernness over old school. Central AC system doesn’t work. There is only one Wall AC In the family section and when you switch it on, the air flows only in one direction towards the guests tables. Flaps are removed for some reason. Toilet was extremely dirty and drainage system was not good. Staff were professional and friendly. Parking spaces are available. The only reason this place got a 4 star from me.because of staff and food.

Family friendly restaurant. I have been eating their authentic Pakistani food in last 4 years and took my guests there as well as family. The portion size is good, staff are helpful and friendly. Highly recommended.

Sadly, I was really disappointed with the curries I ordered. I went to the Olaya branch. I have previously been to the other branch and had a very good experience with the food being top quality. The only consistent thing was the naan. They still tasted good.

Worst taste of especial mutton karrahi, lower quality of marhaba salad, few boti chiken majorly bones. Don't waste your time, money, taste. Not recommended at all

Oh.what happened to this Restaurant. Total quality and taste failure. Just two days ago it was amazing but today just waste of time and money.

كمية الأكل بكل صحن مناسبة
أفضل الأطباق: السبانخ بالجبن، والدجاج بالزبدة.
المشروبات غالية جدا وكذلك الخبز غال نوعا ما
لابد تطلب من الجرسون تقليل حرارة الفلفل وإلا ستتعب مع الأكل!

Everything in this restaurant is nice. Love their yummy dishes. One and only decent Pakistani restaurant in saudi! Perfect, well done!

First time at KSA，first time at Riyadh，first time at this restaurant with 8 friends.
Good.
Delicious.

Very nice and elegant place for having lunch or dinner. The employees are tedy, clean and respectful. Their dishes are delicious similar Indian dishes. Next time I will add photos because last time I couldn't take photos because I're hungry.

There is always an item missing. And they also charge more. Like they will add an extra item in the bill which was never ordered!

كان الطعم أفضل في المرة الأخيرة الرز غير جيد كأنه مسخن غير طازج اما دجاج بالزبدة لذيذ والخبز ألذ شي عندهم

المطعم كان افضل بالسابق بكثيير حاليا اكلهم الزيت في كثييير بشكل يهلك المعدة السمك مسالا كان كويس والان لاحظت انهم صارو يحطون نوع خايس من الفلفل المطعم لا زال فيه بعض من ملامحه القديمة لكن نتمنى ان يتحسن بشكل كامل

The food is good but on the expensive side. Portions are very small compared to the price. Try the Lahori fried fish, kadai chicken with Tandoori roti. Pakistani and Indian dishes. Polite staff. Closed during prayers.

افضل مطعم هندي بالنسبه لي نظيف مره واكلهم على مستوى واسعارهم مناسبه. اروح له من سنين انا والعايله وما تغير

This was an authentic Pakistani food experience! I am a Karachite and trust me when i say this, i was looking for some real Pakistani taste and this was it!
I loved every single thing i ordered.
We had tikka boti, chicken karahi, chicken biryani and lahori fried fish.with roghani naans.
Roghani naans were sooo good i can't even describe.soft and yummy and full size.not like others.
Amazing x 100!
Definitely visiting again.
No pics since we were hungry and we didn't have time to take pics ;)

It used to be a good place for Pakistani Food but quality has gone down over the years. Our kids normally like the kibab and butter chicken here.

The most delicious Pakistani food available in Riyadh. The taste, service and quality of food is outstanding. Love this Pakistani hotel

One of the worst one I have experienced tonight. Rude culture and their Mutton Biryani it was like leftovers food. Grow up man.

Very very expensive. Very small amount of food on any ordered dish. Below average taste. Quality does not match with price.

The taste of the food is very good and it’s very rich and great. If you wanted to try some Desi Pakistani food, you must pay a visit there, you won’t be disappointed. The staff is very friendly and cooperative too.

This is a very nice restaurant elegance elegance it's for Lebanese food one of my friends invite me there may be a bit expensive but I don't know really cuz I didn't pay it was free so the best

المطعم من اكثر من 10 سنوات اعرفه. الاحترام للعاملين + جودة الاكل كلها ماتغيرت. المكان هذا هو المفضل للوالد من سنوات.

Delicious food at calm and peaceful place. It is always good to dine in Marhaba Restaurant in any of their branches in Riyadh, Khobar and Jeddah.

Nice mix of barbeque & mutton gravy with choice of sweet & salty laban drink followed by Kulfi dessert. Had a great sahoor.

مطعم ذو طابع هندي. قيمة البوفيه المفتوح في رمضان 65 ريال. جلستين عوائل وجلسة عزاب. البوفيه متعدد الانواع وجميل ونظيف. القيمة توازي المبلغ المدفوع

المطعم مأكولاته شبه هنديه وطعهم جداً لذيذ البرياني مع الربيان رهيب، وعندهم كمان الكفته و شيء ثاني اسمه الوقيمه طعمه خيال، لكن انتبه من سالفة الحراره لان الاكل كله تقريباً يجي حااار فلفل الا لو قلت له إذا جيت تطلب بدون فلفل

أتردد على المطعم مرتين في الشهر تقريبا منذ عشرين عاما.
الطعام جيد جدا، وجربت شوربة الذرة بالدجاج في أفضل المطاعم داخل المملكة وخارجها لكن شوربة مرحبا لا تقارن بطعمها. تعدد الإدامات الهندية والكاري رائع جدا، السلطات خرطي. الحلو قليل ولا بأس به
أما جلسات المطعم فسيئة جدا وضيقة وتسبب تلوثا بصريا في عشوائيتها وخصوصا قسم العوائل.

Excellent service and food! Ambience is not too bad. Staff are super friendly and attentive. Highly recommended

Family section was in bizarre condition. It was smelly with old furniture. I guess they did not change their furniture for 25 years. Biryani was not fresh and with bad smell. Never going there again.

رغم اني اعرف المطعم من ١٥ سنة وأكثر
الا أن مذاق الاكل عندهم لم يتطور بمرور السنين
البرياني عندهم لا يمت للبرياني بصلة
للأسف تجربة لا اتوقع تكرارها

يتعذر علي وضع رقمي أستاذي على العام
لكن مشكلتي كانت في طلب البرياني أن الدجاج غير ناضج
والزيوت كثيرة جداً في صحنين المسالا
كما أني لا أحب مناطق الفخذ من الدجاج وأفضل الصدر
وطلب البرياني وطلبين المسالا ومشكل مشويات
كانت قطع الفخذ تشكل ٩٠٪ من قطع الدجاج
والمفترض أن تكون على الأقل مناصفة

Bad Experience! The Karahi which was priced 45 SAR was nothing but tomato and chicken. But when asked the waiter to check, he was kind enough to get a different version which tasted a little better.
Naan was good but the pricey Karahi spoilt our Date.

ما أنصح فيه اسعاره مرتفعه قليلا حيث طلبت صحنين لحم و دجاج وصحن رز وجيك مويه وخبز بالزبده ب ١٤٦ ريال + واكله فيه نسبة زيوت عاليه. ما اعجبني
