Zad Al Sultan in Dammam (with popular branches in neighborhoods like An Nuzha/Al Faisaliyah) is a well-known traditional Saudi restaurant specializing in premium rice, meat, and poultry dishes. It is highly regarded for its rich, authentic flavors, high-quality fresh meats, and its expertise in catering large feasts and traditional banquets (Wala'em).
Signature Meat & Feast Dishes:
Makhsoos Laham (Al Sultan Special): Oven-roasted tender meat served over a uniquely seasoned brownish rice (with a subtle hint of spice), generously topped with caramelized onions (Kushnah) and red pasta.
Quzi Laham: Slow-cooked, tender meat served over rice infused with rich meat broth, beautifully garnished with red pasta, fried onions, and raisins.
Majboos / Makboos Laham: A traditional Khaleeji favorite, where the meat is prepared with ancestral spice blends, and the rice is cooked directly in the aromatic, deeply flavorful meat broth.
Al Sultan Banquets (Wala'em): Specially curated options for large gatherings (ranging from an eighth to a full sheep), presented elegantly with signature sauces, lemon slices, and extra toppings.
