Lebanese eatery chain Barbar has expanded its presence in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with the opening of its third branch on Othman Bin Affan Road.    

This latest addition to the portfolio of Lavoya Restaurant Group, which operates the Barbar chain in the Gulf Cooperation Council region, signifies a continued effort to provide enhanced dining experiences across the area.

The new Barbar location builds on the brand's success in Saudi Arabia, with existing branches on Tahlia Street in Al Olaya and Anas Bin Malik Street in Al Yasmeen.  

It specialises in combining the traditional flavours of Beirut with contemporary culinary techniques. 

The Barbar restaurant in Othman Bin Affan operates from 11am to 3am daily, providing dine-in and delivery services with an expanded coverage area to reach a wider community. 

The menu features shawarma, fresh salads, broasted chicken, daily specials, grilled meats, desserts and fruit cocktails.

The restaurant has a spacious outdoor terrace for guests to enjoy their meals al fresco. 

Barbar plans to continue expanding its menu and to launch a new Kids' Meal and Gathering boxes. 

Zawya quoted Lavoya Restaurant Group CEO Walid Hajj: “We are thrilled to expand Barbar's presence in Saudi Arabia with our third branch in Riyadh. The opening of the new branch aligns with Saudi Vision 2030, which aims to diversify the Kingdom’s economy and promote tourism and hospitality.
