Burj Al Hamam Riyadh: Award-Winning Lebanese Dining in Hittin

From a single store idea to a regional staple

Amir Faisal Bin Turki Bin Abdelaziz founded Burj Al Hamam as a single store idea that has grown into a network spanning Riyadh, Jeddah, and the Eastern Province. The kitchen operates with a clear focus on recognizable Lebanese flavors rather than experimental techniques. Generosity defines the approach, prioritizing fresh ingredients and substantial portions over decorative presentation. This philosophy allows the food to remain accessible while maintaining high standards across every branch.

Bright mezze and comforting mains

The menu highlights classic staples prepared with attention to texture and balance. Tabbouleh arrives bright and refreshing, setting a clean tone for the meal. Oven-baked kebbe offers the familiar aroma of spiced meat layered with toasted nuts, cooked to maintain its structural integrity. Moussaka provides warmth through a comforting blend of eggplant and chickpeas that feels grounded in tradition. Each dish reflects a commitment to clarity, letting the core ingredients speak without unnecessary embellishment. This restraint ensures the dishes honor the fundamentals of Lebanese cooking while delivering consistent quality.

Polished marble and characteristic arches

The dining room at the Hittin branch projects an open and calm presence softened by warm lighting. Polished marble surfaces and characteristic arches shape the visual identity, creating a space that feels both polished and inviting. Tables are spaced generously to allow conversation, while gentle ventilation maintains comfort throughout the evening. Service follows a steady rhythm where staff remain courteous and discreet, guiding guests efficiently without imposing formality. The establishment holds a Gault&Millau score of 12, reflecting the consistency found in both the kitchen and the service environment. This balance of attentiveness and restraint supports a relaxed cadence that matches the reassuring character of this well-established Lebanese house.
