I had traditional Saudi Shakshouka eggs, served hot and fresh with both mild and spicy "Daqqous" sauces (tomato based salsa) and a very generous and complimentary portion of Saudi wholewheat Pita bread I also had a traditional Saudi black tea with "Habaq" (black spearmint) and it was the perfect drink to go with the Shakshouka I look forward to going back time and again as the restaurant was incredibly beautiful, the staff were most kind and hospitable and of course there's a whole lot more Saudi delicacies to enjoy Apparently, they also offer a huge brunch buffet on Fridays and Saturdays and I can hardly wait to indulge! Absolutely loved Tilia! The prawn stew was rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked — a must-try. The chicken with mandi rice was tender and aromatic, full of authentic Saudi flavor. Great service, warm ambiance, and top-quality dishes. Highly recommended! We came on a Friday night around 9pm and the place was completely empty. No music or atmosphere, which made it feel a bit dull. Our waiter was really sweet and attentive, so that was a positive. As for the food, it was okay — nothing special, but edible. Overall, not terrible, just not somewhere I’d come back to or recommend!

Popped in for dinner and was exactly what we’d needed. Everything fresh and piping hot, great spices and really good portions too. The lentil and lamb soup is a must!
