Al Majlis
Al Majlis is a traditional Saudi restaurant located inside a mall in Riyadh. The interior covers 1,570 square meters and recalls the urban character of Saudi architecture of the sixties. Shifting modules form dynamic alleyways and a varied composition of masses. Guests sit and eat on the ground in groups, and each group is given a closed or semi enclosed room for privacy. Finishes include stucco, matt walnut wood, perforated screens and mashrabiya, combining modern and cultural elements that reflect Saudi heritage.
Al Majlis Traditional Restaurant by Ahmed Habib has been highlighted as an exceptional representation of architectural design by the A' Design Award. Al Majlis Traditional Restaurant was awarded the Silver A' Design Award in Interior Space and Exhibition Design in 2021. The A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award is an international, jury-voted, fair and ethical design accolade which honors excellent design of residential interiors, restaurants, hotels, offices, galleries, retail stores, showrooms, exhibition spaces and more.
