The move against leftovers by Marmar Restaurant in the city of Dammam in the Eastern Province is aimed at stopping food wastage and reduce extravagance by rationalising orders, said Fahad Al Anezi, the restaurant owner.
"There are many clients who make large orders in order to impress the people around them and boost their social prestige," he said.
The fine is symbolic for diners whose eyes or egos are bigger than their stomachs and is decided according to the quantity of the leftovers. The unprecedented idea has been largely endorsed by Saudis, Al Anezi said.

Can they not have it to take away? We regularly do that in Chinese restaurants and nobody bats an eyelid.
Its due to people ordering meals for ego reasons and not just for people with a little appetite
A Chinese restaurant in Leeds has been doing that for years, do discourage the idiots who heap their plates full at the buffet, but then don't eat all their food.
Whatever it is in the pic, it looks delicious. And yes, I can see the bird heads in there.
