What happened: In a bid to provide a unique experience, “Shadows” goes by the theme of horror films as they allow their guests to have food while the staff roams around in zombie and vampire costumes. The restaurant is located in Riyadh at the Boulevard entertainment district, serving food in black skull trays.
Details: AFP quotes the visitors of Shadow, a Saudi businessman Sleiman al-Amri is quoted, “We are always looking for new and exciting things to do in Riyadh.” Sleiman was enjoying the food with his family and Express Tribune quotes, “The restaurant experience caters to his hunger for a good adrenaline rush.” AFP quotes a 26 year old HR officer, Nora al-Assad, “I came here to have fun and laugh… but the atmosphere and the shows are actually very scary.”
More: Express Tribune further quoted Nora al-Assad, “I have lost my appetite,” she said as the waiter presented her food on a tray with a black human skull. On the other hand, Nora’s friend loved the atmosphere as Jawaher Abdullah claimed, “I like horror in general. I think the atmosphere is great and lots of fun.”
