Saudi Arabia continues to evolve its hospitality industry. Many
of the largest hotel brands in the world have been operational in the Kingdom
for quite a while now. It is an ever increasing and growing market for the food
industry.
The number of Pakistani and Indian restaurants
in the Kingdom is constantly on the rise. This is not surprising given the fact
that the population of expats outnumbers the local population in this part of
the world. Cities like the capital city of Riyadh and Jeddah are major business
hubs which attract diverse cultures and people from all across the globe,
especially from the Indian subcontinent. Hence, it is no coincidence that
some of the Best hotels in Riyadh or Jeddah for that matter serve Pakistani and
Indian cuisine. Pakistani and Indian restaurants are by no means restricted to
these two cities though; you can find such eateries spread all across the
country, even in lesser populated and comparatively smaller cities and towns.
Restaurants in Saudi Arabia feature cuisines from many different
countries. There is fantastic and often inexpensive food to be found
everywhere, from Indian, Chinese and Pakistani to Italian and Middle Eastern
cuisine, including delights such as humus, flatbreads and kebabs .All are
served in abundance in the Kingdom. You will find delicious ethnic cuisines,
with well- spiced, herb-induced foods, awaiting you at most of the restaurants.
The country is as passionate about food as it
is about football .Hence; there is never a shortage of good restaurants serving
delicious food. It is not alarming to find a bunch of different themed restaurants
clustered together at almost every major street across all cities and towns of
the Kingdom. Saudi Arabia can be called a rainbow nation atleast for the sake
of the multi cultural cuisines it has to offer. So many people with so many
different nationalities scattered all over the region is one of the primary
reasons for the boom of this sector of the hospitality industry in this
country. The demand for respective native cuisines is such that it becomes
imperative for let’s say a locality largely comprising of people of Indian
origin to have restaurants serving Indian food and such is the case with most
other nationals as well. It is worth noting that an eatery serving ethnic
Indian food does not cater to Indian customers exclusively. As is the case with
most other popular cuisines, Indian restaurants too cater to customers of different
nationalities. Hence, it is normal to find a Saudi national enjoying a plate of
Biryani at an Indian restaurant or a Chinese biting into Italian food. The
human tendency to experiment and to break away for the norm can be credited for
the immense success of these restaurants and hotels. People prefer to try new
cuisines as most are bored with eating the same stuff day in and day out .One
day you might want a biryani and the next you may have a craving for a Shawarma
or a plate of Mandi.
The hotel industry is one of the most
rapidly growing and fruitful businesses in Saudi Arabia. No matter how long and
where you stay in the Kingdom, you will never be short of restaurants serving
delicious food. More often than not there will be one right around the corner.
