Al Tazaj (Arabic: الطازج) or also known as Taza in the UAE Market, focuses on BBQ and Fried Chicken, Saudi fast-casual restaurant chain headquartered in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

History

Al Tazaj was founded in 1989 in Mecca by Abdul Rahman Fakieh.[1] The company is headquartered in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.[2]

Operations

Al Tazaj specialises in flame-grilled chicken prepared with a proprietary blend of sauces. Chickens are delivered fresh daily from Fakieh Poultry Farms.[3] The company emphasises quality sourcing and rapid expansion. It continues to grow through franchising and investment in new international markets.[4]

Many more restaurants out of its home country, Saudi Arabia are also located in Jordan with seven branches, Morocco formerly had one branch in Casablanca[5] but closed due to unknown reasons, and the United Arab Emirates with five branches in Dubai, 2 in both Abu Dhabi and Sharjah, and one in Ajman. However, as of 2025, all branches in the UAE closed due to multiple food safety violations.[6][7] Kuwait formerly had 3 branches but has currently been shut down due to unknown circumstances, and one branch in Qatar closed.
