Where We Are Going Today: Jeddah’s Karamna

JEDDAH: During Ramadan, Jeddah residents often enjoy their iftar or suhoor meal at the beach, watching the sun rise or set, and admiring the blue waters of the Red Sea.

Karamna is one of many seaside eateries with special dining offers during the holy month.

The Lebanese and Khaleeji restaurant has branches in Jeddah and Riyadh, and offers iftar and suhoor with a mixed set menu of both cuisines.

During Ramadan, we visited a branch at the Jeddah Yacht Club, which offers superb views of the sea and sky, and of the luxury boats docked in the marina.

The restaurant menu features appetizers such as hummus, fattoush, baba ghanoush, sambusa and kibbeh, with dates and gahwa for diners to break their fast once the call for maghrib prayer is heard.

After maghrib, waiters serve either vegetable or lentil soup.

Diners can choose the Lebanese mixed grill platter, a selection of juicy and tender kebabs, chicken tawouk, beef tikkas, white kabsa and premium lamb chops garnished with roasted raisins and nuts.

Attractive lanterns, and lighting with moon crescents and stars complement the Ramadan feel.

Visitors can also enjoy Turkish coffee with kunafa nabulsi and qatayef.

Performances by Lebanese dabke dancers are popular with diners.

Karamna’s other Jeddah branch, located in a quiet residential area by the waterfront on Jeddah Art Promenade, also offers sea views. For more information visit their Instagram page @karamna_ksa
