4.5 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

This restaurant is huge with numerous cubicle type areas for families. A two storey building located at King Fahd Road.

You can find aquariums at the entrance of the restaurant which makes it attractive to their customers esp to the children.

The walls are covered by gold wall paper on top is a red and black ceiling with dragon embosted in it.

The food is about average though presentation is nice. The price is expensive compared to a regular Chinese Restaurant. The price is not really worth of what we ate.

Fish and chips - 70SR
Chicken Terriyaki - 61SR
Softdrinks in Can - 6SR

They have complimentary one slice of mocha cake.

Note:
expect to pay 100SR per person

Cielo_Algaeed 639 reviews

The Mango Village is a newly opened Fruit Shake Shop near King Fahd Medical City. The interior and design are very nice but im totally unsatisfired with the drinks they offer.

Mango Milkshake with chunks of mango and traces of nuts...its not a smoothy type of milkshake.

**We all have different preferences with regards to taste. and so my review is based on my experienced and taste preference**

Rollade Steak

Mexico Corner offers great Mexican food with an Arabic twist. Their seafood Paella is really great..fresh Salmon, mussel, squid, Shrimp topped with olives and flavorful rice.

To add that their food presentation is really good.

The interior is really nice..dim lights with cubicle and room type for family area. The place is romantic and peaceful eventhough the location is one of the busiest streets in Riyadh.

The waiters are attentive in getting orders and requests. Though price is a little bit upscale, the food is really worth it.

Favorite Dish: Seafood Paella, quesedillas, Chicken Ceasar Salad, Rollade Steak.

House of Donuts offers freshly baked donuts everyday and better way to enjoy it is to have a cup of cappuccino with you.

My favorite among their wide selection of donuts are chocolate and honey glaze.

Spazio 77: Panoramic View of Riyadh

King Prawns (appetizer)
2 more images

Spazio 77 is one of the famous fine dining restaurant in the Kingdom. It is a newly opened restaurant in Riyadh wherein you cna have a panoramic view of the city while having lunch or dinner or just enjoying an afternoon coffee or tea.

The whole place is very romantic, and cozy with dim lights and elegant design of the interiors.
The waiters are all well dressed with their black and white uniform with embroidery for head waiters.

They were all attentive in getting orders and requests. The food arrived just in time after every course.

The only draw back of their too dim light set up for dinner is that, your eyes will be strained after awhile but nevertheless it was fine.

As for the food, i can rate it as average. Personally, i can have the same meal in other restaurant and for sure they can have a better taste compared here. They have few food selections compared to other resto. The food serving is really small ~ good for one person who is very much into counting weight and calories but if you're damn hungry i dont think 1 order of their main course would be enough to satisfy you :-)

Expect to pay more than $100.00 for 2 soups, 2 appetizers and 2 main course.

Favorite Dish: The food that we tried:

Soup~ SR37.00 around $10.00
(Lobster Bisque / lentil Soup)

Appetizer ~ SR 47.00 around $15.00
Spazio Appetizer / King Prawns

Main Course
Salmon Fillet ~ SR 82.00 around $ 30.00
Chicken Breast Fillet ~ SR 72.00 around $25.00

Softdrinks ~ SR 12.00

Rice ~ SR18.00

**Exclusive of other charges**
