Holidays Restaurant, Indian restaurant in Balad district, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Holidays Restaurant is an Indian restaurant in the Balad district of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, specializing in Kerala cuisine and fresh seafood. It also has a juice bar, a conference hall, and a play area for children on the premises.
The restaurant opened in Balad, Jeddah's old commercial center, at a time when Indian dining options in the area were still limited. Over the years it has grown into one of the more established Indian addresses in that part of the city.
The restaurant follows the local custom of offering separate dining areas for families and for individuals eating alone. The menu leans heavily on Kerala cooking, a style from southern India where coconut, spices, and seafood play a central role.
Visitors who plan to order fresh fish should allow extra time, as the dish is prepared to order after choosing from the tank. The venue works well for families thanks to the children's play area and the separate dining sections available.
Diners can pick a live fish directly from a tank inside the restaurant and then choose how it should be cooked. This option is rarely found in the area and draws many visitors who are looking for very fresh fish prepared their way.
