Riyadh’s restaurant scene has become a playground for food lovers, with new restaurants and dining concepts continually adding to the capital’s ever-growing culinary landscape. Indian cuisine has long been a favourite, and now there’s a fresh addition to the Indian restaurant scene in Riyadh called Banbiya.

Banbiya is a new Indian restaurant that brings together familiar Indian flavours, a contemporary setting and a menu designed for lingering over. The name itself is a playful nod to Bambaiyya, a popular Indian slang term associated with Mumbai, its people, culture and street language.

Located in As Sulaimaniyah, Banbiya sits close to popular restaurants including Ovun Bistro and San Carlo Cicchetti, placing it within one of Riyadh’s lively dining neighbourhoods. The interiors make an immediate impression, combining marble tabletops, warm wooden details and ambient lighting to create an intimate yet relaxed setting. Artwork and golden frames decorate the walls, adding a touch of old-world character to the contemporary restaurant.

Banbiya’s menu explores the diverse flavours of Indian cuisine in Riyadh, moving from popular street-food dishes and crispy snacks to salads, curries, traditional mains and Indian-inspired desserts. Dishes include Dosa, Papdi Chaat, Crispy Jhinga, Bhindi Tempura, Chukandar Salad, Avo Passion Salad, Murgh Masala, Korma, Jhinga Masala, Rogan Josh, Paneer Makhani and Chana Masala. The dessert menu leans into the nostalgic side of Indian sweets with Gulab Jamun, Kulfi, Gajar Ka Halwa and a modern Brioche Halwa.
