This female-run breakfast spot in Jeddah is helmed by chef Amal Fakieh. The story behind its unique name is as interesting as the food served here. If you’d dial 17 on the intercom at the founder’s home, you’d reach the living room, which was a cosy hub for long, fuzzy conversations. Today, Ext. Seventeen keeps that welcoming vibe alive. Since 2020, it has been offering up scrumptious breakfasts and a space for those heart-filled talks. Speaking of heart, the home-grown restaurant and Fakieh are as cherished among the F&B community and regular customers equally. Sporting the tagline “Your second home away from home,” talk to the regulars here, and you’ll know that they’re totally delivering on that promise. Fans come to Al Yammah just for the cracking food here, including the signature pancakes.
