You can't leave KSA without trying both. But they are very different.

Al Baik (The King of Fried)

  • Style: Deep Fried Broasted Chicken (Spicy).
  • Best Item: Chicken Nuggets (7/10 pieces) with Garlic Sauce.
  • Price: Extremely cheap (~18 SAR for a meal).
  • Vibe: Crowded, chaotic, grab-and-go.

Al Tazaj (The King of Grilled)

  • Style: BBQ Rotisserie Chicken (Farrouj) marinated in garlic/lime.
  • Best Item: Whole Grilled Chicken with Buhari Rice.
  • Price: Slightly higher (~25-30 SAR).
  • Healthier: Yes, because it's grilled, not fried.
  • Vibe: Sit-down family dining.

The Verdict?

  • Want a cheat meal? Al Baik.
  • Want a proper meal with rice? Al Tazaj.
