In keeping with the trend of diving into nostalgic vibes, The 90s Dekkan is a diner-style eatery that will make you feel the ‘90s never ended.
With two branches in the Eastern Province — one in Olaya and one in Al-Ahsa — it serves as a portal in which time stands still. Relive your childhood days or, for those not born during that era, experience it for the first time.
From the retro decor and colors to the overall look and feel, no detail has been neglected. The door that leads you inside offers familiarity, with the faces of characters from cult sitcom “Friends” welcoming you. (Monica is not pictured, for reasons unknown.)
The menu includes a selection of burgers, mostly beef but with a chicken option, and appetizers such as mac and cheese, bacon balls and maple sriracha, and chicken bites.
Fries come loaded with spices, pickles or pieces of chicken. The 90s Dekkan is big on sauces, offering several homemade choices including one they call gamanda and another called mosraqa. It is just so extra, to coin a phrase of the era.
However, the drinks options are disappointingly basic, with only regular sodas and water. Milkshakes, for example, might have been a fun addition. There are no desserts, either.
There is plenty of seating, though, and it’s a good choice for both solo diners and small groups.
The 90s Dekkan is open from 8 p.m. until 3 a.m. every day during Ramadan and also offers delivery through apps including Jahez and Hunger Station.
