Somewhere

Somewhere. The name doesn’t give much away but the mystery only adds to our intrigue, and it’s with the spirit of true explorers that we whip on our elephant pants and trek down to the new travel-themed restaurant.

Somewhere turns out to be not just anywhere, but in the Bujairi Terrace, Riyadh It has pristine marble furnishings, floor-to-ceiling windows and potted plants aplenty.

The fairly concise menu is inspired by the travels of the team, and all of the Middle Eastern dishes have an international twist – from the Mediterranean to Mexico.

The concept is to enjoy the thrill of traveling through authentic cuisine from around the world.

So it’s with this thought in mind that we get stuck into a delicious aubergine moussaka, which is fresh and tasty, swathed in a rich, herby tomato sauce.
