What Kleicha is
Date-filled cookie with cardamom and sesame.
Kleicha is listed as a bakery item in the Saudi Arabia guide, where the index tags it vegetarian. Treat those labels as a menu translation rather than the full picture. Portion size, garnish and cooking method change from one counter to the next, and so does the price.
Where to find Kleicha
Kleicha is listed as nationwide rather than tied to one city, so it is a safe thing to look for wherever you land in Saudi Arabia. Bakeries sell out early, so go in the morning and follow the queue rather than the signboard.
