Specialties
What makes Kabsa unique is our focus on authentic Saudi cuisine—something rarely found in San Diego.
We specialize in traditional dishes like Kabsa, Mandi, and Madbi, prepared using original recipes and slow-cooking methods that bring out deep, rich flavors.
Unlike typical Middle Eastern restaurants that focus on shawarma or kebabs, we offer a true Saudi experience with carefully selected spices, fresh ingredients, and meals made daily.
We also focus on convenience, offering fast delivery and a seamless online ordering experience, so customers can enjoy high-quality, authentic food from the comfort of their home.
History
Established in 2023.
Kabsa was created to bring the true taste of Saudi Arabia to San Diego.
In a market filled with shawarma and kebabs, we saw something missing—authentic Saudi dishes made the traditional way. Our goal is simple: to introduce people to the rich flavors of Kabsa, Mandi, and Madbi, just as they are prepared back home.
Every dish is cooked with care using traditional spices, slow-cooking techniques, and fresh ingredients to deliver a bold and unforgettable experience.
Kabsa is more than just food—it’s a cultural experience, bringing people together over meals that feel homemade, warm, and real.

‘sman Fallatah, Owner of Kabsa
For Usman, Kabsa isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a piece of home.
Growing up in Saudi Arabia, meals weren’t just about food. They were about gathering, sharing, and creating moments around dishes that were slow-cooked with care and full of flavor. Kabsa, Mandi, and Madbi weren’t just meals—they were experiences.
When Usman moved to San Diego, he realized something was missing. While there were plenty of Middle Eastern options, the true taste of Saudi cuisine—the kind that feels warm, rich, and deeply authentic—was hard to find.
That’s why he created Kabsa.
Every dish is made to bring that same feeling to the table—real flavors, traditional cooking, and food that feels like it came straight from home. Whether it’s your first time trying Kabsa or something you’ve grown up with, the goal is simple:
to give you more than a meal—to give you an experience you’ll remember.
