Chef Athanasios Kargatzidis brings a sophisticated Levantine-Mediterranean fusion to Riyadh, centered on the technical mastery of the grill at Assembly Mezze & Skewers. The menu highlights the art of the skewer, where shish tawook is marinated in a complex blend of cider vinegar and herb chutney before being charred to smoky perfection. Texture plays a pivotal role, seen in the contrast between the silky, stone-ground hummus topped with toasted pine nuts and the chewy elasticity of warm, butter-crusted pita. Signature seafood, such as sea bass, is grilled with precision to ensure a crisp skin and translucent flakes, often finished with a rich miso butter that adds an umami depth. Aromas of sumac, cumin, and woodsmoke fill the air, signaling a kitchen dedicated to aromatic complexity. The unlimited mezze progression allows for a deep exploration of textures, from the creamy density of labneh to the sharp, fermented tang of harissa-marinated olives, all executed with Michelin-tier attention.
