Tips for a Better Visit
Check Orders. Double-check every dish before eating, especially if you are ordering fish rather than meat.
Confirm Doneness. Repeat your preferred steak doneness when ordering and check it promptly, as reviews mention incorrect cooking levels.
Allow Time. Build in extra time during busy periods: one review says the kitchen and servers were understaffed.
Check Benefits. If you have Elite Club membership, ask about the set menu and available 2-for-1 benefits before ordering.
Ask Options. Ask the team to explain the available choices and value options before settling on your order.

The Bottom Line
RODA Grill is a steak house in Al Garhoud where the strongest reason to visit is the meat. Reviews highlight beef ribs, Wagyu tenderloin and tomahawk steaks; one medium tomahawk was described as perfectly cooked, while a Wagyu tenderloin order came with well-liked peppercorn and mushroom sauces. The chocolate cake also gets a specific mention, and the burger has its fans.
The setting divides opinion. Some diners describe a cosy, peaceful room with no background music, making it comfortable for conversation or a family dinner. Others found the decor basic and the atmosphere too empty, so this is more quiet hotel-restaurant dining than a lively steakhouse night out.
Its Al Garhoud location is also described as convenient for the airport. Service is often friendly and attentive, but consistency matters. Reviews mention an incorrect fish order, steaks arriving at the wrong doneness and waits approaching an hour when the kitchen was understaffed.
Double-check your order and confirm how you want the steak cooked. Prices are regularly described as high, though some diners feel the meat quality makes an occasional visit worthwhile. If you have Elite Club membership, ask about its set menu and 2-for-1 benefits.
