Tofareya is the kind of Saudi comfort-food spot that can satisfy a craving even as takeaway.
I ordered to-go from the Riyadh branch, and while not every dish traveled perfectly, the order had real highlights. The restaurant also has locations in Jeddah and AlUla, which makes it easy to return for the standouts.
The best bite was the Tawferee chicken samosa. The sambousek triangles arrived crisp, with a noticeably crunchy dough that held up well.
Inside, the chicken slices were boosted by a bright lime mixture that gave the filling a fresh, tangy finish.
The kubayba was another favorite. Shaped into neat squares like grape leaves, it was filled with rice and lifted by date syrup, adding a gentle sweetness that felt uniquely Saudi.
