The family-friendly restaurant also offers a kids’ menu including options like penne alfredo, Margherita pizza, mozzarella sticks and more.
Commenting on the opening, Saeed Alshamisi, Owner & Operator of Medi Terra said: “We’re incredibly excited to open Medi Terra. We’re a family-run restaurant designed with families in mind, and seeing my passion project come to life is a blessing. Our opening plans were set back because of the pandemic, which forced us to close during our initial soft opening phase, so seeing the restaurant open now is incredible. I look forward to warmly welcoming all our future guests, and personally ensuring everyone has a great dining experience with us.”
