Kumar restaurant gives a fancy twist to the beloved Indian cuisine. The brain behind the recipes is chef Kumar, who has spent most of his life working in the British restaurant industry. After gaining plenty of experience, the chef decided to dedicate the rest of his professional life to revolutionizing Indian cuisine and presenting vibrant foods to the rest of the world.
According to his profile on the menu of his restaurant, he believes in mixing contemporary flavors with Indian cuisine to create fusions that will not only impress people internationally but will help Indians around the world rediscover their love for their food.
The dishes offered by the restaurant are authentic to the Indian roots. The spices, ingredients and servings are all balanced to give everyone the ultimate experience. Some of their most popular dishes are their biryani special, sizzling fish masala and chicken maharaja.
Another dish that is extremely popular is their Mumbai puffs platter with a twist. These are traditionally served with tamarind water and chickpea masala, however, the restaurant has added their chicken tikka to the dough for explosive flavor.
Kumar restaurant’s chaats are especially delicious. Despite offering a fine dining dish, they successfully preserve the street-food vibe.
Obviously, any Indian restaurant can be judged just by their tea, and it’s safe to say Kumar excels in that criteria. Their maharaja karak is a plain milk tea served in a classic brass pot and is perfect to have after food.
The restaurants are located in Al-Rawdah district, Jeddah, and Riyadh Park in the Saudi capital. For more information, visit their Instagram @kumar.ksa.
