Tofareya.

Tofareya offers an unpretentious window into Saudi hospitality, tucked inside a humble historic house at the foot of the AlUla Fort. Rather than a polished dining hall, the restaurant feels like a private home, spread across two small ground-floor rooms and a rooftop terrace overlooking the lush palm groves of the Old Town. The kitchen focuses on regional soul food and recipes gathered from across the kingdom, often incorporating local citrus in dishes like their signature orange-scented kabsa. While the pavement seating is ideal for people-watching in the heritage district, the roof provides one of the town’s most atmospheric vantage points for a sunset meal. It is a practical, characterful stop for travelers seeking authentic flavors like Omm Ali in a setting that remains tethered to the village’s original scale and history.
