MEA Q2 2022

MEA / Q2 2022 20 Feb22506 What do you know about Saudi food? Probably not very much. For the team at the Takya Food Company, answering this question is at the heart of their business. Their delicacies are built on what can be found in every corner of this culturally fascinating country. We caught up with Hadeel Almotawa to discover more about the exquisite dining experience she has created for the people of Riyadh. hen Takya was created, it was created because of a passion and love for food. Food is an exceptional cultural marker, with dishes varying even from town to town. When the team at Takya explored the different regions of Saudi Arabia, their aim was to gather all of the information they could about local dishes and ingredients, feeding on the longstanding traditions that stood behind each. With options varying from restaurant dining to catering, we wondered what brings the company together. “We ensure our clients are pampered with the authentic experience in which Takya offers,” explains Hadeel. “We developed selected local dishes, and combined local and international flavors and dishes to create unique fusion blends.” The result is something authentically Saudi in taste and style, but also thoroughly unique. Saudi Arabia is a proudly diverse environment, with each region having its own unique style in cooking. When questioned what sets Takya apart, Hadeel told us: “Our selling point is our deep-rooted culture and the creative curated dishes infused with the diverse atmosphere. Our clients are those who indulge themselves in exquisite and fine cuisines from around the world. Those who are bold enough to try different creations that enrich their palettes by the chef’s offering.” The success of Takya, therefore, comes from the team’s passion and enthusiasm for their work. It’s not enough simply to know what to cook. This is a team that thrives on putting smiles on peoples’ faces. The reason behind this passion is not only the incredible depth of research and knowledge that goes into every dish but a structure that sees every piece of the puzzle supporting each other. Because the Takya team have such passion for the industry, they have been able to overcome many of the challenges of the last couple of years. “Many establishments in the F&B and hospitality industry have faced a whole lot of adversities in the face of the pandemic,” Hadeel informs us. “It was a struggle for many and we are extremely grateful to have come out the other side stronger for it. We have learned to become even more efficient in our operations and day to day activities.” With this renewed strength for the company, Hadeel is certain that 2022 will be a year will see the business grow even further. The demand for something that is so authentic and so imbued with the unique flavor of Saudi Arabia is what sets the team apart. We celebrate their success and look forward to what they deliver over the next year.
