Machali Kingdom Riyadh

“Kebabs are juicy and soft. Never expected such fine kebab in an Indian restaurant. A little work on ambience would do the magic.”

“Food was good but I didn’t appreciate how they managed insects near the kitchen. It wasn’t done in a hygienic way and I saw that as I was leaving the restaurant.”

We recently visited Machhli Kingdom near Malaz with family and had a really good experience. We tried the Mexican Alfaham and Peri-Peri Alfaham — both were very tasty and well cooked. The Peri-Peri had a nice spicy flavor, and the Mexican one was also delicious. Definitely a must-try. We also had Chicken Mumtaz . It looked beautiful and tasty — rich flavor, slightly North Indian style. We ordered butter naan as well, which was soft and fresh. Regarding the price, it’s reasonable — not too expensive, not too cheap, just mid-range. The Peri-Peri Alfaham (half) cost around 22 riyals, and the chicken mumtaz were around 18–20 riyals (approx). Service was good, staff were polite, and the place is comfortable for families. Overall, a nice family-friendly restaurant with good food at a fair price. Would visit again 👍

If you want authentic Mangalore food in Riyadh, this is the place to go. The owner is Mangalorean, so the taste is very genuine. They have a great variety of fish dishes in different sizes and prices, and the staff helps you choose the right portion for your group. We ordered for two and the quantity was perfect. The Sea Bream Tawa Masala fry and Prawn Ghee Roast with Neer Dosa were excellent. Plus, they serve a fish curry for free! Highly recommended!

I am a regular customer because my room is nearby, and I visit this restaurant quite often. The food is generally good, and most of the dishes are satisfactory. However, the service is very disappointing. Unfortunately, the staff do not seem to have a customer-focused attitude. During my recent visit, one staff member told me that a menu item was unavailable. A few moments later, another staff member informed me that the same item was available. This lack of communication is confusing and unprofessional. In addition, the staff pay very little attention to customers and seem to be more focused on their mobile phones than on providing good service. I hope the management will take this feedback seriously and improve the staff's customer service, as the food quality is good and the restaurant has the potential to provide a much better dining experience.

​I’ve been here multiple times it’s basically where I go whenever I start missing home food. ​Since I’m probably the only Mangalorean who isn't a fan of fish (I know, I know), I haven't touched their massive seafood menu. But for everything else? The Prawns Ghee Roast with Neer Dosa is my comfort zone. It just works. The items like Kaltapa, Nai Pathiri, and Poondi are consistently soft and taste authentic. The Ghee Rice Kebab is also a winner with that nice aroma. ​But here is the honest truth from a regular, ​The Grill Chicken I keep ordering this hoping for that nostalgia hit, but let's be real the taste is only a 34% match to the legendary Pop Tate’s back in Mangalore. It’s not bad, just don’t expect that specific flavor. ​The Biryani The rice is soft and fluffy, but don't call it Dum Biryani. It’s definitely not prepared Dum style. ​The Wash Basin Saga This is the only part that annoys me every single time. Whenever I visit, the wash basin is on a break either the tap is broken or

A fantastic place for authentic Mangalorean seafood in Riyadh. We ordered the Prawns Ghee Roast, Tawa Fry Ayakoora (Seer Fish), Masala Fry Ayala (Mackerel), and Neer Dosa, and every dish was packed with authentic coastal flavors. The prawns ghee roast had the perfect balance of spice and richness, while both fish preparations were fresh, well-marinated, and cooked beautifully. The neer dosa was soft, light, and paired perfectly with the seafood. The restaurant truly captures the taste of Mangalore, making it a great choice for seafood lovers. Friendly service, generous portions, and excellent value for money.

I’m a regular here and I usually love the food, but today was shocking. ​Your staff served us the wrong curry. We were starving and ate a bit before realizing, and your team admitted it was their mistake. When you replaced it, you deliberately reduced the quantity. ​That is incredibly petty. If your staff messes up the order, don't punish the customer for it. We are loyal customers, and reducing portions because of your own mistake feels cheap. ​Please teach your team to own their mistakes properly. This really ruined the experience.
