Kabsa is a traditional Saudi Arabian dish made with fragrant basmati rice, meat (usually chicken or lamb), vegetables, and an array of aromatic spices. The dish is cooked in a large pot, often decorated with intricate patterns etched into the surface of the pot, and typically served communally from a shared platter.

Shawarma is a Middle Eastern street food favorite in Saudi Arabia, consisting of marinated meat (often chicken, beef, or lamb) that is slowly roasted on a vertical spit. Once cooked, the thin slices of meat are stuffed into pita bread, garnished with fresh vegetables and sauces, and served as a sandwich or wrap. Vegetarian options are also available with grilled vegetables or falafel.

Falafel is a popular vegetarian dish made from mashed chickpeas or fava beans, herbs, and spices formed into small balls or patties. They can be eaten as a snack, appetizer, or part of a meal, and are commonly found in sandwiches (like shawarma) or served alongside salads, hummus, and other mezze-style dishes.
