Al Baik-Middle East's answer to KFC

                                                            Al Baik History

Al Baik started in 1974, near old airport in Jeddah. The chain was founded by Shakour Al Ghazalah. Restaurant was located near old airport. It was registered as a trademark in 1986.  People who lived in early 1980s know it was very popular and cost was about 10 -15 riyals. There was yummy ‘’toum’ or garlic where the French fries were dipped along with sauce. Accompanying this meal was Bebsi or Pepsi Cola in a tin can. The good old days where children spent time with their parents and family.

 The special things about the Broast chicken is it was halal, tasty and much cheaper than KFC.
