Medina (/məˈdiːnə/; Arabic: المدينة المنورة‎, al-Madīnah al-Munawwarah, "the radiant city"; or المدينة, al-Madīnah (Hejazi pronunciation: [almaˈdiːna]), "the city"), also transliterated as Madīnah, is a city in the Hejaz region of the Arabian Peninsula and administrative headquarters of the Al-Madinah Region of Saudi Arabia. At the city's heart is al-Masjid an-Nabawi ("the Prophet's Mosque"), which is the burial place of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, and is the second-holiest city in Islam after Mecca.

Reviewed By Abdullah S - Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

So I've been to the most popular restaurants in Madinah but for now steak house was the best from the moment of arrival until we left staff were very nice and helpful we ordered chicken tandoori as appetizer it was ok , chicken fillet which was ok too my friend ordered some kind of beef thing I cant remember the name of it but it was great according to him he loved it and tropical juice which I didn't like don't try it . In overall the restaurant is good I'll try other courses my only issue was the salad bar it didn't feel fresh .

At-tabaq

Reviewed By Ahsan A

At Tabaq offers one of the best Pakistani cuisine in Madinah! It is situated at about 12 minutes drive from the haram (only accessible by car). They offer a variety of different cuisines including Pakistani, Middle Eastern and Chinese. There speciality is Pakistani cuisine though. We went there and ordered Chicken Karahi, mixed grill and chicken corn soup. The soup wasn't worth tasting at all and a big disappointment. However, the Karahi and the mixed grill was very tasty and had a good serving size. The food was a bit on the high side in terms of money, but value for money nevertheless. I would love to come again and again and would thus recommend this place to everyone!

Reviewed By ZMalik786 - Solihull, United Kingdom

Unfortunately our experience was poor. The ordering/collecting point is chaotic, no discipline or manners. Staff look after their mates who jump the queue, or whoever shouts the loudest, rather then wait in an orderly manner for your ticket number to come up.
As a family we really looked forward to experience the meal after hearing so much about the quality, unfortunately the chicken was dry and not tasty. Maybe we were just unlucky.

Jazz Lounge

Reviewed By unique_1111 - Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Nice place, in & out sitting area but while i went there and choose out sitting talbel i shoked of too much dust on chair cushion & table !!, i talk to the restaurant captain as his page said about the the dust and he said: it's normal for out sitting tabels and chairs ??? i think he need to learn what means of cleaning staff in any restaurant.
.Moreover i order one latte after 15 min. the same captain hold the latte cup ( spoon inside ) in his hand without plate put it one the tabel and after i add sugar i confused where i put the spoon !!
Finally i order water then i asked him to cancel it and birnig the bill, after 15 min. he bring the bill and told me the price include the water and please subtract the water price and give me the rest !!!!!! ( it's real not a joke ).
i feel sorry for nice pleace like that with horrrible management.
