The Table at the Top — Riyadh city

They ride a lift up a tower of glass to a restaurant near the crown, where the seating is carpets and cushions and the food is pure Najd: whole lamb on saffron rice, jareesh, saleeg, gahwa poured from brass. Abdullah orders everything on the menu and pays the price. Omar orders one dish and wins the night. Outside the window, the entire city ignites while they eat. The country changed its clothes. Not its kitchen. Episode 12 of HAJIMETE, a continuing anime series shot vertically in 25-second films, following a first journey across Saudi Arabia. Japanese audio. Subtitles in Arabic, English, Spanish and Turkish.
