The story

Yawmiyat Bistronomy by Dalal and George in Riyadh | Gault&Millau 2026

The kitchen and its dual premise

Yawmiyat Bistronomy by Dalal and George introduces a refined approach to Levantine bistronomy in Riyadh. The restaurant opened in mid November to showcase two distinct culinary voices working side by side. Dalal’s Table anchors the menu with classic soul food rooted in family heritage, while George’s Table layers contemporary techniques over familiar recipes. This split structure keeps flavors clean while allowing playful reinterpretations to take shape.

Plates built for sharing

The menu favors generous portions that prioritize honest Levantine cooking over heavy presentation. A rustic manoucheh loaded with melted cheese and fragrant zaatar arrives warm from the open kitchen. Dessert brings a revised muhalabiya that contrasts silky dairy cream against brittle pastry shards. Those seeking a full spread can order the breakfast on one plate, which arranges house labneh, soft eggs, and roasted vegetables into a bright composition.

Space shaped by family hospitality

Dining occurs in a deliberately unpolished room where comfort dictates every detail. Colourful wall treatments, delicate lace accents, and handmade ceramics create a backdrop that feels thoroughly lived in. Staff members like Sara Katanani coordinate service with steady attention, while the chef circulates to check on guests between courses. This sincere rhythm of hospitality recently secured a score of thirteen from Gault&Millau for the 2026 guide, confirming the spot as a reliable destination for Levantine bistronomy.
