Marios George opens Nozomi and two more restaurants in Saudi Arabia’s Al Khobar

Marios George, a restaurateur on the frontier of fine dining in Saudi Arabia, has partnered with Al Moajil Hospitality to launch three fine-dining F&B outlets in Al Khobar. The new restaurants include Nozomi, Hellenika and Belgravian Brasserie. The outlets are in partnership with Al Moajil hospitality, operated and owned by chairman Mohammad Saad Al Moajil and led by CEO Abdulaziz Al Moajil. Founded in 2004 in London by George, the Cavadore Group opened its first restaurant Nozomi in Knightsbridge. In 2012 the restaurateur launched Nozomi in Riyadh offering guests there a fusion of entertainment and fine dining. George commented about the upcoming launches and said: “It’s an honour to share Mohammad Saad Al Moajil’s vision to bring to Al Khobar three magnificent and original fine dining experiences and ranks as the most exciting adventure I have had the privilege to be a part of in my 40 years as a restaurateur.” Nozomi will be in the Al Matal Complex with a la carte created exclusively for the outlet. Inspired by Greek islands, Hellenika is the second restaurant developed by the group and set to open its doors on February 20 in the Al Matal Complex in a beachfront destination. Hellenika is touted as George’s passion project inspired by the ingenuity of the Greek islands and zenith Aegean Sea. Hellenika offers a fresh market and home-style preparation. The third restaurant Belgravian Brasserie is an homage to the traditional art deco brasseries of the 1920s found throughout France and is the third concept set to open its door in Al Matal Complex, also on February 20. The brasserie features a menu that combines French recipes, an “armoire de viandes” (gourmet meat parlour), seafood platters and modern flavours inspired by the Parisian gastronomy scene.
