Boulevard City is the place where every person goes when they visit Riyadh but the problem is there are too many restaurants and sometimes you are like
SHOULD I GO THERE OR HERE?
If you love good food, fancy vibes, and some outdoor seating then this place will not disappoint. You get everything from gourmet meals, authentic flavors, or a spot with great outdoor seating, Boulevard Riyadh has it all.
I have been to Boulevard City many times and have tried different restaurants. To help you make a quick decision I have shortlisted my favorite restaurants so you don’t spend money on something you don’t like.
So loosen up your belts (because you will need the room) and let’s explore these amazing restaurants.
1. Madeleine Restaurant
If you love a mix of fancy and classic vibes then this restaurant is for you. The outdoor seating is minimalist and the green plants add a touch of health to the overall vibe.
The indoor however is kept more fancy and upscale. The black and white color scheme makes this place feel expensive and bold while the brown chairs create a nice contrast in the overall environment.
THE CHAIRS ARE NOT COMFORTABLE!
While they did look good I felt like they were not really comfortable for a good meal. The service here is fast and the staff will make sure you get the best items.
The restaurant has a dedicated menu for dinner, lunch, and breakfast so you can visit at any time of the day and get something special.
Must Try Dishes At Madeleine
The restaurant has a French-inspired menu with different items for different tastes. If you are health conscious you will get a full salad section with great options and if you love pasta or burgers you will have those too.
So if you have a group who loves different items this is the perfect place to go without splitting into different restaurants.
My favorite items in this restaurant are:
- Truffle Wagyu Burger (SAR 87): If you love burgers then this might be your new favorite. This burger includes a 200g Wagyu patty topped with truffle mayo, wild rocket, and Gouda cheese.
- Truffled Béchamel Pizza (SAR 63): This is a good option if you are looking to share your meal. The pizza has great flavors but hey don’t fight over it. It includes truffle, béchamel sauce, fresh mushrooms, and mozzarella.
- Prawn Risotto (SAR 83): How can I forget about seafood? These prawns are cooked in creamy Arborio rice along with basil cream tomato sauce. Don’t miss this one.
Average Price Per Person
The average prices can vary depending on what you order but I would say they fall somewhere between SAR 90 – 120 for a full meal.
2. Tandoori Khan
If you love Indian food then you will definitely like the food here. This restaurant serves famous Indian dishes like biryani, butter chicken, and samosas.
The service here is prompt and you will get your meal within minutes. The restaurant is mainly a takeaway restaurant so make sure you have your dining spot figured out.
The restaurant has great prices and the portion sizes are quite big. If you have guests coming over or your budget is light then I would definitely recommend this restaurant in Boulevard Riyadh.

The menu revolves around tandoori-style cooking (cooked in a pot) with rich and hot Indian spices. Some of the dishes I really love here are:

- Butter Chicken Sandwich (SAR 11.5): This one is filled with chicken cooked in butter. The creamy and spiced sauce makes the taste even better.
- Indian Samosa (SAR 9): These small pockets are filled with either vegetables or chicken and are served in a pair of two. They are small and a perfect brunch option.
Average Price Per Person
This is among one of the cheapest restaurants in Riyadh and you can get a nice meal for SAR 20 – 30 here.
