This restaurant was established in 2006 and is situated in the heart of Riyadh city. The first time I visited the restaurant was four years ago with a group of South African friends prior to going to the airport to pick up mom. Whilst the decor in the restaurant does need a little bit of an upgrade, the food is simply divine and very reasonably priced. Whenever my best friend and I feel for true, authentic 'desi' food we usually hop over. Mom also loves the flavour and the aroma of all the dishes and makes it a point of visiting the restaurant whenever she travels to this part of the world. Best friend and I have virtually tried most of the dishes on the menu, however our favourite dishes are usually the chicken tikka, chicken malai boti, chicken samoosas for starters, prawn karai or mutton karai for the main meal along with vegetarian fried rice. During our last visit to the restaurant a few days ago, we decided to try the fried shrimps with chips and tartar sauce. It was absolutely delicious. The shrimps were nicely spiced and fried crisp to perfection. All the meals are served with a choice of naans. Best friend usually likes the plain butter naan whilst I love the garlic naan. The restaurant also offers free home deliveries and a special lunch buffet menu as well. Like most restaurants within the Kingdom, the red onion has a family section as well as a single male only section. The waiters at the restaurant are very efficient and friendly. In fact we now know many of them on a personal level. To find out more on what the restaurant has to offer kindly visit their website http://www.redonionrest.com/
