A traditional Arabian rice dish packed with bold flavor and heritage. Our Chicken Kabsa features tender, slow-cooked chicken layered over fragrant basmati rice, infused with a blend of warm spices, tomatoes, dried lime, and saffron.

Bold, warm, and beautifully spiced, Chicken Kabsa is a majestic dish that captures the essence of traditional Arabian cuisine—an emblem of hospitality, celebration, and home-cooked comfort. At Chef Prestige Gourmet, our Chicken Kabsa brings this heritage to life with authentic flavors, vibrant ingredients, and refined presentation.

The dish begins with tender, bone-in chicken, marinated in a blend of Middle Eastern spices—including cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, cumin, and black pepper—then slowly braised to juicy perfection in a richly layered tomato-onion base. What sets Kabsa apart is its masterful use of kabsa spice mix, which infuses every component with earthy warmth and subtle depth.

The chicken is nestled into long-grain basmati rice, which is cooked in the same aromatic broth. This ensures the rice absorbs every drop of flavor from the meat, vegetables, and spices—turning every grain into a vessel of savory goodness. Add to that a touch of loomi (dried black lime) and saffron, and you get a rice dish that is both comforting and complex.

Once assembled, the chicken is either grilled or oven-roasted for a golden finish and served atop the steaming, spiced rice. Garnished with fried onions, raisins, toasted almonds, and slivered carrots, Chicken Kabsa becomes a visual and culinary feast.

Often served with dakkous (a zesty tomato-garlic sauce) and cool yogurt raita, this dish is perfect for family feasts, special occasions, or anyone seeking a hearty taste of the Gulf.
