if one wants to taste the chicken then its the best in the town even much better than KFC or others. The food is of good quality but in order to get it you have to wait long on the queue.

tasty. The wait is long and worth it. The taste is very unique. The Menu Has a good variety of Chicken, Prawns and Sidelines. I would recommend the Houmus with every meal.

nothing to dislike. Everyone from kids to the eldest go crazy for Albaiq. But always overcrowded. One must have patience to get thier number. Must wait for something you crave for.

Not a big fan of Albaik, i find the chicken very dry.. i stick to KFC. Albaik can be found in every corner and are always busy. Be sure to be firm in the queue before someone jumps in-front of u.

When I went to Umrah, all of the brothers were raving about this place and it was for a good reason. The chicken at Albaik was delicious. There are many places that serve the same category of food in Mecca and all of Saudi Arabia for that matter, but this was the best.
