Al Jalsa - A Scenic Gathering by The Wadi

Al Jalsa launched for the first time at The Groves – Riyadh Season 2021, offering a relaxed open-air dining experience with a breathtaking view of The Wadi. With its Hijazi-Indian menu and warm hospitality, Al Jalsa became a calm, scenic gathering place designed for friends and families to enjoy meaningful moments together.

Our Concept

Heritage Flavors in a Wadi-View Setting

Al Jalsa brings SIHAMCO’s beloved Kooz Karak menu into a relaxed, elevated outdoor setting. Guests gather under palm trees with serene wadi views, enjoying karak, warm beverages, and Hijazi-Indian bites in an atmosphere that feels effortless, welcoming, and beautifully composed.

The Experience

Open-Air Comfort with Cultural Taste

At Al Jalsa, guests arrive to a peaceful landscape of palms and wadi views, settle into welcoming seating, and enjoy a smooth flow of dining and conversation. The experience is light, social, and authentic — combining cultural food, warm service, and a serene outdoor mood that defines The Groves spirit.

Our Philosophy

Nature, Flavor, Togetherness

Our philosophy is built on connection — connecting guests to nature, to culture, and to each other. Al Jalsa is designed as a social experience where scenic beauty and traditional flavors come together to create long, relaxed conversations and unforgettable shared evenings.
