Dabboos – Arabic-Style Chicken Restaurant in Al Zahra, Jeddah

The Arab way of enjoying crispy chicken, grilled chicken, and signature chicken burgers.

Our Story

Dabboos is an owner-built, community-first brand created by the team behind one of Jeddah’s beloved homegrown names, Shobak & FRN. We entered fried chicken with one goal: raise the standard of fast food by delivering better quality, better consistency, and better value—without compromising on principles.

After a year of trials, we launched and learned the hard way that great intentions aren’t enough; we faced ongoing quality challenges specifically with our bone-in chicken (broast), exhausted every solution we could think of, and made the decision to pause that line until we are 100% certain of what we’re serving.

What remains non-negotiable is our philosophy: we choose higher standards in what goes into our food—frying with high-quality oleic oil, using Himalayan salt across our products (even fries), relying on 100% natural spices, and making sauces with no preservatives.

Even the details matter: our coleslaw is sweetened with organic maple syrup, our signature harissa with Qassim dates syrup, and we offer organic apple juice for kids. We’re here to serve satisfying portions at affordable prices—and to build Dabboos transparently with our community. Come try us, share your honest feedback, and if you’re not satisfied, we’ll refund you—no questions asked.

صراحه الاكل نظيف لاكن في بعض الأطباق لم تعجبني مثل الرز بالدجاج لاأنصح فيه اما الاطعمه الباقيه اسعاره كويسه وفي متناول الجميع واتمنى انه تزيد الصوصات لما تطلب التندر لانه يأتي معها صوص واحد فقط والباقي بالفلوس….

Honestly, the food is clean, but I didn’t like some dishes, like the chicken rice. I don’t recommend it. As for the rest of the food, the prices are good and affordable for everyone. I wish they would add more sauces when you order tenders because it only comes with one sauce, and you have to pay for the rest.

Regarding the food, this is the most delicious chicken in Jeddah. The chicken is large and worth every penny, even though the price is economical. They also served it quickly.

The service was excellent, and the staff were respectful, helpful, and always smiling.
The atmosphere was fantastic, especially the lighting. A very nice restaurant.

Firstly, it was my first time trying them, and I ordered four strips to test them out. Honestly, they were good, the taste was great, and the crunch was amazing. Secondly, there’s an employee named Ihsan who is truly wonderful—his manners, his ethics, and his service. Honestly, Ihsan is a champion in customer service! 👍
مكان نظيف وتجربة جميلة
اشكر اخلاق الموظف احسان على تعاملو الراقي مع الزباين
A clean place and a pleasant experience. I thank the employee, Ihsan, for his excellent customer service.

Amazing food. The chicken is very juicy I haven’t tasted such good chicken in jeddah before. The buns are amazing and I loved their toom sauce. The employees are also very kind and fast working. The place is very clean and I really loved the big windows and view of the whole street. Overall amazing experience and would definitely try it again.

برجر الدجاج رائع ولذيذ
لكن في مشكلة عندهم موقعهم في النت مكتوب أن البرجر فيه شريحة شيدر لكن المحاسب قال لازم تضيف جبنة بإضافة مبلغ إذا تبغى 😳

أصابع الدجاج (تندر) ممتاز
البطاطا المقلية ممتازة

خبز البرجر طري ورائع
خبز التورتيلا سيئ وعجيني

أنصح بخبز البرجر بدلاً من خبز التورتيلا وإلي يسموه صاج 🙁

البروست غير متوفر حالياً وبصراحة هذا يُعتبر عيب وضُعف في المطعم أنهم يقطعون المنتجات 😣

بشكل عام الأكل لذيذ ويستاهل التجربة

We tried the dates hareesa chicken burger, grilled chicken sandwich, and burger meal. The dates hareesa burger meal was good and tasty, with a crispy burger and nice flavor.

The grilled chicken sandwich was small in size and average in taste.

They have a good dining space for dinner and a self-billing kiosk, which makes ordering easy and convenient.

Overall, the food quality was mixed. The burger is worth trying, but the sandwich could be improved.

Dabboos has elevated the customer services and experience, since you enter the store you see self service screen where you can order fast and easy, and there is the classic way to order. However, the supervisor and other staff are well trained and welcoming. Moreover, cleaness and atmosphere are amazing. Finally, food is tasty and deserves every penny.
Well done for the management 👏🏼
Best wishes

وجبه 3 قطع ستريبس حراق (مافي مشروب مع الوجبه)
ساندوتش راب دجاج مقلي
صوص ثوم
صوم او جي
صوص هريسة بالتمر (يجي مع الوجبه)

الدجاج ستريبس لذيذ جدا والبهارات مميزه الطعم ممتاز، البطاطس كانت عاديه
ايضا الساندوتش كان ممتاز ولذيذ الدجاج فيه

صوص الثوم لاباس فيه
صوص او جي لذيذ
صوص هريسه بالتمر لذيذ
الصوصات عندهم ممتازه وتخلي التجربه افضل

نكهة وطعم ممتازه عندهم، المشكله الوحيده بشكل عام هي الكميه والاحجام للامانة قليله جدا، والساندوتش حجمه صغير جدا بعكس الصوره في المنيو والاسعار تشوفها مناسبه لاكن اذا شفت الكميه بتقول غالي عليها

اقول انه يستاهل التجربه في رائي عنده نكهه لذيذه وممتعه بالنهاية
اكل نظيف ولذيذ وسعر مناسب

صوصات جديده اول مره اذوقها عندهم
تجنن انصح تجربو كل شي ،

موظفين محترمين ونظفين وجميلين واسلوب راقي الله يجزاهم خير ويرزقهم يارب

**Disclaimer:** I know the owners on a personal level, but I have made an effort to keep my review as unbiased as possible.

When I saw the real cheddar cheese inside the burger, I was pleased to see that they are using high-quality cheddar instead of the cheaper processed varieties. This shows that they are going the extra mile and respecting their customers.

The sauces they offer are unique, and you won’t find anything similar at other fried chicken places. The Arabic influences are evident in the ingredients, sauces, and even the type of bread they use.

I ordered:
– Spicy Crispy Chicken Burger:
It was great, but it was missing the cheese that is clearly listed in the ingredients. This required me to return it to have it in it.

I would rate it 4 out of 5. The only downside was that the patty was slightly unflattened, making the burger a bit chewy. However, the taste was still excellent. I shared this feedback with them, and they promised to address it. I’ll order it again!

– Spicy Tender: I rate this a perfect 5 out of 5—outstanding, with no complaints.

– Mhallabiyah: It was perfectly balanced and not overly sweet, which I think my age group will enjoy, but younger diners might not appreciate it as much.

Overall, the restaurants deserves 5 stars, and I plan to bring my family next time! 👍🏻
