Saudi dish gains popularity in Canada

Kabsa has gained popularity in a small town in the Canadian province of British Colombia. Two Saudi students from Al-Ahsa have opened a restaurant, Ooh Kabsa, specializing in the Saudi dish.

The restaurant, which serves a variety of Saudi and Arab dishes, has become popular with both Arabs and Canadians.

Although Ali Abdullah was working as a doctor in a local hospital, this has not kept him from participating in the launch of the restaurant.

“We opened the restaurant early last February, after a nine-month process, and I do the administrative part and my partner takes care of the cooking. We now have 16 people working with us, including Saudis, Ukrainians, Canadians, Indians, Palestinians and Brazilians,” he said.
