Al Baik

At the Makkah Towers you can find many restaurants,it is within walking distance from the Holy Mosque. My personal faivourate is the AL-Baik chain. It offers deep fried chicken served with garlic sauce and bread.

This chain is only found in the west provence of Saudi Arabia. Half a chicken with french fries and bread costs about 2 $.
