The Shrimp Shack - Riyadh

The best Shrimp scampi pasta! The rest of the menu is fantastic as well!

We went there last Friday (Aug 8, 2015) to visit or check out the place. The place is okay, although a bit small to accommodate many patron, it's like it is part of the adjacent place the old spaghetti house. Reception is a bit slow and we have to call the attention of a server from the other room. Food serving is a bit small for it's price but enough to fill you up... Ambiance is okay... Over all it is a nice place to be with your partner...

I'm a sucker for quirky restaurants so The Shrimp Shack's nautical theme immediately grabbed my attention. We had our dinner here because we took advantage of the promo that they used to have. I ordered shrimp tempura and fish fillet with 2 cups of rice for less than 200 pesos. We also ordered a plate of their crispy shrimp heads for our appetizer. The tempura and fish fillet were okay. Nothing too spectacular about these dishes. I got a taste of their shrimp gambas and it was surprisingly delicious! Wish I ordered that one instead of the tempura. The shrimp heads look a bit weird but are actually quite good. It's very crunchy and it goes so well with the vinegar. Service is really good too!

Their Shrimp and Match promo every weekdays is enough for you to have a taste of what their food is all about at an affordable price. Food is good but the place is kind of small and isolated.

I like the vibe of this place. The walls which has that beach feel like made it pleasant to look at. Staff are accommodating to us when we dined here. We had their Garlic Shrimp Scampi which tasted delicious. The Surf and Turf was ok for me. The meat tasted ok but not that memorable.
