Madina’s “Most Expensive” Steak Experience
There are meals you remember for the taste, and there are meals that stick with you because of the story behind them. In this video, a visitor in Madina sets out with one clear goal: to try what’s claimed to be the most expensive dish in the city. The result is an appetiser-to-dessert kind of journey—complete with a recorded bill, a detailed look at the cut, and a first taste that left the diner genuinely impressed.
The Bill: 769.5 Riyals for an “Expensive Plate”
Before the tasting even begins, the video gives the key number. After the order and the final total, the guest mentions a total of 769.5 riyals (with tax described as 100 riyals in the process). The emphasis is clear: this isn’t just a “nice meal”—it’s the kind of price tag that turns dinner into an event.
What Was Ordered? “Tomahawk” (Black Angus-Style) Steak
The star of the show is described as a premium tomahawk style steak, referred to as a black angus cut. The pricing is explained in a range, depending on size and weight—starting from 450 riyals and going up to 600–650 (as mentioned in the video).
The guest also spends time describing the look of the meat before tasting, pointing out how clear and well-presented the piece is. And while they caution that it might not be “for everyone” in terms of market expectations, they still make the point that it’s certainly meant to be eaten and enjoyed.
Cooking Style and First Bite
When it comes to doneness, the video shares that the steak is cooked and then served. The guest describes it as being medium after cooking—and the reaction is immediate: after plating, they say it tastes “very” good, and that they were genuinely happy with what they discovered.
They even mention searching across restaurants and hotels in order to get this exact “special” experience—specifically to capture the moment and confirm the claim that it’s the most expensive dish in Madina.
Why It Felt Worth the Price
The strongest compliment comes from the way the steak is described: tender, rich, and visibly marbled. The diner points out that there’s a lot of natural fat visible when the steak is cut and served—claiming that it’s the steak’s own rendered fat, not added ingredients.
They highlight that the meat is “very fatty” and that this contributes to the flavour and the overall enjoyment. In other words, the premium cost isn’t presented as a gimmick—it’s tied directly to the cut quality and how it delivers on taste.
How to Eat It (As Demonstrated in the Video)
One of the most entertaining parts of the video is the eating method. The guest specifically recommends eating the steak by hand, describing it as a way that feels like it belongs “in the movies”—and they show the style of pulling and tasting the meat.
Served with Sides and Drinks
Another detail that adds value to the experience: the plate comes with extras. The guest states that the dish arrives with:
- Two side dishes
- Drinks
So while the steak is the headline, it’s presented as a fuller dining package rather than a single item.
Where to Try It in Madina
According to the video, the place serving this “freestyle” premium tomahawk experience is in front of Bin Dawood. The guest also describes the venue as being “in front of” that well-known location, which helps viewers orient themselves in Madina.
Final Verdict: “Worth Trying”
The overall message is confident: the guest calls it delicious and says it’s an experience that matches its “most expensive dish” reputation. If you’re in Madina looking for a standout meal—something that feels like an occasion—this is presented as exactly that.
