JEDDAH, SAUDI ARABIA - Welcome to Jeddah, home of Albaik, what is probably the most famous fast food chain in the Middle East, originally started in Jeddah. Today we’re going to try it out, it will be my first time!
As soon as you land in Saudi Arabia, you’ll notice that Albaik is packed - every single location is buzzing and busy at all times of the day. Now I’m not normally that interested in fast food chains, but I had to make an exception for Albaik because it’s so popular and loved and I had to see what it’s all about.
I really wanted to go to the original location in Jeddah, but couldn't’ make it there - not sure if it’s still open now - but we did go to one of the original locations, and a popular location in the center of Jeddah. I ordered most of their signature fast food dishes, the best of them being the broast chicken.
They have regular broast and spicy broast, and the spicy broast proved to be some of the greatest fast food fried chicken I’ve ever had in my life. It was so juicy and not that spicy, but packed with flavor. I have definitely figured out why it’s so popular!
When you’re in Saudi Arabia, Albiak fast food is a must try!

I love Al Baik.... I used to work in Jeddah for 10 years and now I'm back to my home country Philippines, I suddenly missed the taste and aroma of Al Baik broasted chicken. I hope they can branch out to Philippines soon. Me and my collogues usually go there every Thursday for dinner. Thank you Mark for showing the world the famous Al Baik...
Albaik is better than KFC.
Country looks like one big sausage party are women not allowed in public?
It looks like jollibee. Are their chicken as good as jollibee?
@@MsLansones Jollibee is Jollibee and Al Baik is Al Baik hahaha. Chicken Joy is good with Rice and gravy while Al Baik is good with garlic sauce, fries and bread.
@@chickenfeet9304 in Saudi yes but in Philippines KFC is one of the best because of gravy
All of us Saudis have been eating from Al Baik since were kids, and still to this day seeing their food make our mouths watering. Happy for you to experience the food in our country, and thank you for showing it to the world.
As someone from Bangladesh who has been to Saudi Arabia before, no other fast foods including American chain ones can beat al baik. Al Baik is the best fast food I have ever had. Inshallah one day it becomes international chain fast food.
@@fchowdhury5727 so true
Stop lie its haram not gord

Not true never heard of it
I tried Albaik with my mother and father in 2015 during our Haj time and I tried with my husband in Dec 2022 during our Umrah time it’s taste is MashaAllah very tasty. I wish I was born and bought up in Saudi…Saudi people are so lucky to be on the land of Prophet PBUH❤
❤ Thank you dear sis may Allah To bring us together in Jannat alna’em
Love from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦
Back to the kebab stand with ya
not even fried chicken would make me want to live in any muslim country lmao

You better stay away, we don't want garbage
I am a Pakistani but was born and brought up in KSA. Not many memories of KSA are still with me but Al-Baik is a taste my tongue ceases to forget. It's truly the best chicken in the world!
lol KSA is horrible

im a filipino. i grew up eating jollibee's chickenjoy. but man, al baik's broasted chicken is something!
It looks more like the US Jollibee fried chicken which is also pressure-fried. We in the Philippines are getting lower quality on Jollibee products.
jollibee sells cats
Broasted chicken is different and with the garlic sauce, OMG!

@@lanceresultay014 Really? No quality control and consistency?
Al-Baik is legendary Mark. In Indonesia, some reseller even imported that from Saudi and sell it online. Yup, imported cooked fried chicken then sell it frozen. Not a branch.
Halo bang

Bisaa aeee luuu bang, Barakallah sehat dan sukses selalu buat abang, teman-teman dan negara kita tercinta Indonesia 🙏🙏
Kurang kerjaan.
I'm an American Muslim and I once wished to live in the Middle East one day. Al Baik is the undisputed king of fried chicken

Not fried chicken broasted chicken
How will you compare it to Popeyes?
Lol it’s awfully dry with No meat
@@kasikasivendjinn5345 100 times better
I like this man. He just exudes good vibes and his expressions are just priceless.
facts
I’m pleasantly surprised to see that they use real chicken pieces and not a mystery paste for their nuggets unlike other fast food restaurants
And reeeeaaaalyyyyyy juicy nuggets too. Love it !
I prefer those mystery paste nuggets to be honest, they just have a nicer texture to me
That's why albaik is different from the rest.... now it's shocking why the rest don't use real chicken 😒 😕
@@ManMan-ul1pn Not a mystery at all, its ground chicken, usually breast.
Yeah... it's good to know real animals were mutilated to ensure you get actual pieces of meat... not the fake paste you get at KFC. Long live chicken pieces from dead animals.
Albaik prides itself with its quality, its not simply any fast food chain, its quality packaged affordably.
It’s success is because for every meal you buy they assign 2 riyals (70 cents) to charities and they’re huge on charitable foundations not to say they’re very cheap compared to other fast food chains such as KFC but 1 million times better..
@@knightara woah I didn't know about the charity thing. That's really commendable
albaik in saudi yes very high quality, but in other countries in the world, their albaik sucks. They really need to impose quality control to other branches. they sell expensive yet the chicken is dissappointing. we want authentic albaik
and it's still the most cheapest food in Saudi Arabia
I was born in Jeddah, now residing in the Philippines. I can taste childhood while watching you eat Al-Baik 🥲 I’m dying to eat this again. I didn’t grow up eating Jollibee so I hate dipping fried chicken in gravy. They have the best garlic sauce in the world!
Please open ALBAIK in Other countries as well 😢😢
This looks so good.
Al Baik from Saudi and Jolibee from Phillipines are seriously underrated fast food chains
Albaik is better than KFC.
You should try their fish sandwich it’s extraordinary as well
Jollibee is crap. Shut up.
I love Al Baik.... I used to be in Jeddah for 14 years and now I'm back to my home country India, I suddenly missed the taste of Al Baik broasted chicken. I hope they can branch out to India soon. Me and my Family usually go there every Thursday for dinner. Thank you Mark for showing the world the famous Al Baik...(LOVE AL BAIK!!!)
Copy paste

Saudi peoples are very friendly ❤❤❤🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇱🇰🇱🇰🇱🇰🇱🇰🇱🇰

شكراً لك ونحن نحترم جميع الاسيويين🌹😘
I doubt that
For anyone watching this, you know that Mark likes what he's tasting if he does that head tilt with his eyes closed :D I never heard of this chain until I visited Jeddah on a business trip back in 2019 where a friend of mine insisted that I try it, and it was actually amazing! I didn't like the shrimp, but the chicken and the fish are to die for! Especially the spicy ones! I second what Mark said that it is the best fried chicken joint I ever tried! Props to Saudi👌
Been following him for over 5 years and he literally does this to everything now.
@@bunns420 he doesn't close his eyes when he doesn't like something :) on the contrary, he just opens them wide and says "oh yeah" then avoids talking about the taste directly. And if he doesn't like something he just does the "so-so" head shake.
@@bunns420 he even once said the food was horrible lmaoo he doesn't like everything
I’m glad you liked Albaik.
One of the best advantages of Albaik is the high quality it serves and the affordable price to everyone.
Thanks for visiting Saudi Arabia Mark 💐.
Love your video man , full of energy and excitement 😁
I was born and raised in Jeddah until I left and honestly, one of my fondest memories of Saudi are tied with Al Baik. It is a staple for everyone living in the Kingdom. Honestly I haven't had better fried chicken anywhere even after living in 4 different countries and I preach the good gospel of AlBaik wherever I go. Thank You for doing this video Mark, you have done this chain true justice and rekindled fond memories for all of us away.
hope you get to eat it again soon ^_^
Mark, I didn't expect the stars in Jeddah night sky. Really they are serious in improving the environment. I lived for 30 long years in Saudi Arabia and finally I see the stars like I see in the Philippines.
That broasted chicken looks and taste amazing, also it looks very fresh. Thanks for sharing your videos.
Yay been so long. So excited to watch another of your vlog!
The team behind Mark abroad is commendable I know its not a work of just one person , behind these places and video title and food selection there is a whole strategic team . Kudos to them the way they understand audience mind what audience want 👏 👌
Since you were only trying the authentic Saudi foods, I was worried thinking you'll leave KSA without trying Al Baik...now I have peace of mind ✌️
It is the best fried chicken in the world
How's Micah doing
Ohh...same feeling... i even insisted mike in comments to try albaik
@@roberthernandez6716 same like Vitcan!
Albaik‘s founder is Palestinian and has a famous inspiring story
I love Saudi Arabia🇸🇦 love from india🇮🇳
thx bro
@@_KSA_666 you r welcome
They don’t love you back believe me
شكراً لك وحب كبير من السعودية الي الهند🇸🇦🤝🇮🇳
‘Being aggressive’ also sounds so much fun, loving and smiling coming from Mark. Most humble, most friendly vlogger ever. Every human being can associate themselves with Mark and vice versa.
No judgements, only friendliness with Mark
Quite agree!👍👍
I love how he captured it!
But they are really aggressive lol
Ordering is a happy experience in itself
But they are much faster than other restaurants
Love Saudi made fast food chain. Thanks Mark for sharing this experience!😻😻
I really love seeing just how much mark enjoys his food. You can see the sincerity. He's a real foodie.
Ugh. Missing this one. Hoping to taste it again! Nice vids! Greetings from PH!
"AL BAIK",SHOULD COME TO BRAZIL 🇧🇷!
Its very good and cheap and super quality , the prices here for 4 pices chicken with frise 16 saudi ryials maybe its 13 riyals brazilian and 10 pices tenders with frise same price too
@6yarh926 no its 23.24 Brazilian riyals
thank you for trying our famous food here in saudi arabia! im saudi myself and im very happy seeing people branching into our cultural food:D
My first 7 years of childhood I spent in Yanbu, Saudi Arab. I can still remember the taste of Al-Baik.
Dude finally someone is giving albaik the exposure it deserves ❤️❤️
Welcome to Saudi Arabia we are happy to have you here
I can confirm everything Mark says about Albaik hehe, it's really phenomenal place. It opens since morning in Madenah. It's probably the best fast food chicken I've had so far. Very juicy spicy and full of flavors. Also very affordable! Much love from Libya ✌️
hehe very hehe
He looks so happy, love the way he describes the food when he is really enjoying it 😆
Happy Birthday Mark! Thank you for sharing the love and kindness that exists in the world and how in some ways we are similar but different at the same time. God bless you and your beautiful family!! Have an amazing day ❤🙏🏾
Albaik‘s founder is a Palestinian and has a very famous and inspiring story. Albaik’s founder is the one who invented and introduced the concept of fried chicken with the legendary garlic sauce to the Arabs
The garlic sauce is actually his invention, and the spices were his wife‘s recipe which she inherited from her mother
he is saudi
@@muhannadalhazmi8341 he has been naturalized only recently, otherwise he is an American citizen
@@badgoy534 HHHHHHHHH LOL OK DUDE
@@badgoy534 harlic sauce is his "inevention"?😂😂
Al baik was my favourite food when I was working in Jeddah. My mouth started watering watching your video. Really miss it.
The way he is excited and happy makes me happy too 🙂
I have a deep appreciation for fast food chains myself, and I'm thrilled to hear about this particular restaurant. I'd love to give it a try when I have the opportunity to visit Saudi Arabia. Thank you so much for sharing your recommendation!
You are so pretty
@@COCKTALII thank you☺
@@aminasbite i gave u a subscribe to 😚
hi mary
From the look of the video - you be the only female in the country
I miss KSA and Al-Baik so much.
Their wraps and sandwiches are amazing too
Cant wait to try that ❤❤
Amazing would love to try there one day
Next time you should try the big baik sandwich , it is a masterpiece 🥰
Albaik is better than KFC.
with cheese
@@okigy363 yes
I've lived next to this branch for 24 years ... brought back memories, always nice to see people enjoy this legendary place! it's too good it's addictive
Hi. How much was the rent?
I have fond memories of this AlBaik branch because I used to go there with my friends and eat there but now, I am living in my home country Jordan while my friends moved to Malaysia :/
@@djooraTech I was basically a kid living with my family during the time, IF I remember correctly it was 35K SR a year. It was a big apartment though.
I missed that food. Im actually and literally imagining my life when I was in Jeddah Saudi Arabia. Oghhh, mouth watery broasted chicken. I loved this video Mark. You take care and God bless.
You have strong and special energy when you talk , it feels like you are booming
That looked absolutely delicious! Everything, the chicken, shrimp and the fries and nuggets. It looked real, even the nuggets!
I grew up on Al-Baik, its absolutely iconic and has always been so crowded!Infact, there used to be an al-Baik and KFC located beside each other and in the early 90's there was hardly ever a crowd inside KFC whereas Al-Baik was bursting at the seams. I haven't been back in Jeddah in 20yrs...this video brought back old memories. Glad you enjoyed it!
Albaik is better than KFC.
come baaack! so many new things to see!
@@chickenfeet9304 Definitely!
Mark You explained it PERFECTLY well!!! ITS AN EXTREME SPORT getting your order. We went to a family Al-Baik, one side females one side males and the girls were getting their orders before the men.
Mecca, Medina and Al Baik one cannot forget... memories for lifetime.
Al Baik is the best i have ever eaten. While living in Jeddah and having Al Baik on and off is a blessing.
I have tried many broast chickens ....but the crisp and flavor that AL-Baik has is why people love this... Majority of fast food chains have 70% bread crumbs than the chicken they coated. Have tried Al-Baik everytime I visit Saudia and it never has disappointed with the taste and quantity of the food
Wonderful video
Glad you liked it. Man as a person who is born and raised in the west of saudi we can’t live without albaik
Looks so delicious 😋
Finally! An Al-baik review from Mark :) Wish they'd franchiser like the other fast-food places to Asia.
I love your videos Mark, I hope you come to Brazil again ❤
Welcome in jeddah very nice video with very nice Albaik good quality and price.
I love it... also, the breakfast egg sandwich is very delicious .
Broasted chicken is one of the most popular foods in Syria usually it's sold alongside Shawarma, I literally had like 5 Broasted and Shawarma places within 200 m of my house, and when it's done right and fresh , it's the best possible version of fried chicken you can have.... and the Garlic sauce is the best thing ever especially with fries.
Al Baik chicken are one favorite of princesses and i witnessed that myself...we we're their way back 2004 to 2005 at prince Sultan palace...the spicy one is the best...wow! I missed it...thanks mark weins for featuring al baik its been 19 years ago...
i love your vids
From pakistan.. this is just making want to go again to KSA. Had been there 3 times and Albaik is something else man. Best fast food ever had in my life.
Those young dudes coming and saying hi just makes me marvel at how wildly successful Mark is. I’ve been watching his stuff for like 5 years or so maybe longer can’t really recall but back then nobody knew Mark yet he’s really the same genuinely nice dude. Congrats on your success and well I guess now you have to put up with be instantly recognizable around the world.
Their Fried Chicken is Amazing.. The size, the taste Juicy and Crispy!
When I lived in Jeddah, I got Addicted to Albaik resturant and I had it every weekends
It's really exciting to see Crispy Fried Chicken.. so delicious yummy
Jeddah + Al Baik = MEMORIES!
Broasted is a trademark brand from an American company , you need to buy the machines from this company, to be called broasted, in venezuela we have it since the 60s . Yes it’s yummy . 😊
Forever my favorite 😭 childhood nostalgic
You re my favorite food traveller, I like your kind of speaking and how you present the food, ☺️☺️😘😘
You re verry polite in the voice,
Thanks verry much☺️☺️😘😘
That food looks delicious. 😋
It isssssss
OMG, Al Baik - the iconic fried chicken and garlic sauce I grew up with. I just wish they had Al Baik here in the States. Fried chicken is huge here and I think Al Baik chicken is ten times better than KFC and maybe twice as better than Popeyes 😅. Mark, your food adventures are so tangibly vibrant and are mesmerizing. I’m considering a gastronomy-focused trip to Jeddah next winter thanks to this awesome Saudi series. 😁
It would get ruined in the US
Albaik chicken fry with Popeyes French fries and the Al baik garlic sauce. Which is mostly yogurt then mayo. Absolute combo man
What a passion for fry food.No wonder why you are champions in overweight categories and diabetes levels
Church's Chicken would destroy Al Baik in fried chicken. I still have left over Church's Chicken grease drippings on my pillow case that's how good it is!
So based on your rating, Popeyes is 5x more than KFC?
I love your videos and your right albaik is so good 😊
your are a really good fast food CZcamsr your are good
I love and miss KSA's broasted chicken. One of the best fried chicken in the world ! The legendary garlic sauce comes perfect with it.
ALBAIK is so popular in the Middle East. When I was in Dubai it always has long lines, particularly at the Dubai Mall. 👍
Albaik is better than KFC.
But the one in Dubai mall is not that good tbh. Maybe the one is Saudi is the different and far way better than in Dubai..
@@lapien9278 yeah it is
Well to be honest I’ve tried the one in UAE and it never compares to the one here in Jeddah, if you wanna try this particular restaurant you have to try it where it originates Jeddah or at least anywhere in Saudi Arabia.
It is popular in the Arab world
AL Baik is love!
my childhood!! you make me miiss that amazing food!
AL Baik is my childhoof i remember when my Parents used bring me there on Friday's i love it specially the garlic sauce. 😋
Al baik , kabsa ,shawarma n bebsi❤️❤️.. my best childhood memories 🥹🥹
this made me happy
Wow very very tasty food !!
Glad you liked it. Go with the spicy! 👍🏻
Omg it looks delicious
Good video bro!!!
If mark take a bite and he closed his eyes after chewing it then just understand that the food is really amazing
My childhood was spent in Jeddah and I cherish my memories of my father and me picking up Spicy Family meal AlBaik after friday prayers. Now that im in my motherland India hope I can go back someday InshaAllah. ❤ SA
Holy molly, I swear I never thought a youtuber would go near my house ALBAIK store... it has been 3 years since I return to my own country from jeddah.
Good to see the place. Love you bro
Why am I watching this whilst fasting?
Mmmm! Looks absolutely delicious 😋 👌🏼
MY NEXT HOLIDAY IS SAUDI ARABIA. Love and respect from England UK ❤
AlBaik was just in the western part of Saudi Arabia for ages so it was something special we have when we go to pilgrimage, but a few years ago it expanded all around Saudi
That branch is 10 mins from my house! Hope you enjoyed Jeddah.
When Mark san says “juiciest in my life” that means something to me. I’m now inclined to travel to Saudi, which I’ve never contemplated before.
That looked so good .... maybe one day when I visit there.
Yummm 😋
Saudi made I’m so proud 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
I love Al Baik... never leave Saudi Arabia without tasting it. I used to buy Al-Baik chicken in Riyadh and buy the gravy sauce from Jollibee. They taste good together with rice. Oh man, you made me hungry there Mark... now i am craving for Broasted Chicken. Hope they open one here in Texas.
San Antonio Texas should get an Al Baik FIRST!! Lol 😊 thanks for the idea of Jollibee gravy and Al Baik chicken!
Jollibee also has been around in Saudi since 1996
The funny thing about Al-Baik is that even when the line is full, they dish out orders very quickly. I remember, back then you were given a number with a group letter. like A1 to C99. but still very quick. hehehe. I miss this a lot.
