Rosewood Jeddah features Hijazi Ramadan

Rosewood Jeddah, a multi award-winning hotel, is highlighting the traditional Saudi culture through a Hijazi themed Ramadan celebration at its specialty restaurants, Habsburg and Noodles.
Guests are invited to discover historical Saudi traditions as the hotel’s restaurants are transformed into a traditional Layali Hijazia setting.
Habsburg and Noodles restaurants are decorated with Hijaz artefacts such as the fanous (lanterns), mashrabiya windows and other traditional handicrafts.
Further adding to the Hijazi theme, the property is replicating traditional souks and bazaars throughout the hotel creating an essence of the old streets in the region of Hijaz.
Staff members from both Noodles and Habsburg are wearing traditional Hijazi dress to greet diners while offering Zamzam water, a traditional drink in Jeddah during the holy month.
Executive Chef Amjad Al-Ghandoor and his team have been serving iftar and suhoor dishes, including Arabic mezzes, soups, a wide selection of warm and cold appetizers and main courses, as well as a selection of Middle Eastern and international desserts.
This year’s culinary additions include a buffet counter with a Turkish twist, serving delicious olive oil based delicacies. Both restaurants will feature authentic Hijazi cuisine such as gursan, jeraish, mento and lamb kabsa.
At Habsburg, live cooking stations serve up international and local dishes such as saj, shawarma, lamb and beef liver, egg omelettes, and foul madamas for suhoor. The menu is complemented by signature Ramadan juices such as jellab, vimto, kamar eldin, laban and tamer hindy.
“Here at Rosewood Jeddah, we look forward to welcoming guests for iftar and suhoor in the Hijazi spirit,” said Mazen Allam, hotel manager of Rosewood Jeddah.
The hotel offers group booking options for iftar or suhoor for gatherings up to 200 people at Habsburg and Noodles restaurants.
Sponsors and media partners include the First Group, Platinum Magazine, Alam Arrajol Magazine, Arab News, Jeddahfood.com and Qatar Airways.
