Every dish on our menu carries three things beyond its price: a calorie figure, an approximate burn time, and its allergens.
The allergens
Saudi regulation requires allergens to be declared, and there are fourteen that have to be named: gluten, soy, crustaceans, egg, fish, peanuts, milk, celery, mustard, sesame, tree nuts, lupin, molluscs and sulphites.
On our menu each one appears as a small marked chip on the dish — an icon and the word together. The icon alone would not be enough. There is no standard set of allergen symbols that people actually recognise, and a guest who reacts to sesame should not have to interpret a drawing. The full key sits at the bottom of the menu page.
We also list legumes, which is not one of the fourteen but matters to enough people to be worth marking.
The calories and burn time
The calorie figures are approximate and given as a range, because portion sizes vary. The burn time is an estimate of walking needed to work off the dish — a rough guide rather than a medical figure.
One honest caveat
Our kitchen handles nuts, dairy, gluten, eggs and shellfish in the same space. We cannot guarantee any dish is entirely free of traces. If you have a serious allergy, tell your server before ordering and we will advise you directly rather than leave it to a chart.
