Hira Indian Restaurant

Saudi Arabia


A delicious no-frills South Asian eating outlet northwest of the centre, popular with migrant workers and local Saudis alike. The South Asian staff understand some English and the service is super-quick. Be sure to try the excellent split-pea dhal and mutton karahi. Both will come with an endless supply of fresh tandoor-oven-baked naans.
