RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA (December 22, 2025) – As the winter chill settles over the capital, Nomas Restaurant emerges as the quintessential destination for those seeking the warmth of authentic Saudi hospitality. The restaurant has officially unveiled its new exclusive Winter Menu—a limited-time culinary journey available from now until January 31, 2026, priced at SAR 310 per person.
Crafted with precision by celebrated Saudi Chef Ahad Al-Ghamdi, the menu is a masterful blend of traditional winter staples and contemporary gastronomy. Every dish is designed to evoke nostalgia while offering the sophisticated flair that has come to define the Nomas experience.
An Intimate Cultural Sanctuary
Located in the heart of the Riyadh Marriott Hotel – Diplomatic Quarter, Nomas has quickly established itself as a “must-visit” winter sanctuary. With an intimate capacity of just 35 seats, the restaurant offers an exclusive atmosphere dedicated to Saudi identity and artisanal craftsmanship. From the hand-wrought details to the décor inspired by the local environment, Nomas weaves a deep cultural narrative, providing a serene setting for memorable gatherings and festive celebrations.
A Curated Winter Journey
The winter selection celebrates the richness of Saudi heritage through the use of fresh, seasonal ingredients. Each course balances the comfort of traditional flavors with innovative techniques:
- The Prelude: The journey begins with Crispy Jareesh Bites, a clever and modern reimagining of a beloved traditional staple.
- The Warmth: Guests are then treated to a rich Pumpkin and Ginger Soup, topped with roasted pumpkin seeds and goat cheese, capturing the very essence of the season.
- The Main Course: Guests may choose between two signature creations:
- Roasted Sea Bass served with a contemporary twist on Madoos (a traditional dish of rice, lentils, and black lime).
- Slow-cooked Lamb, infused with a blend of authentic Saudi spices and served over a bed of creamy, traditional Saleeg.
- The Grand Finale: The experience concludes with a Chocolate and Saudi Coffee Fondant. This decadent dessert pairs the aromatic essence of Arabian coffee with a melting chocolate heart, served alongside “Halwa” ice cream for a unique harmony of flavors.
