Dank Sandwich in Riyadh has become a go-to destination for those craving filling sandwiches.

The menu offers a variety of options, with popular choices like the Philadelphia steak meal for SR39 ($10.40) which features tender steak and melted cheese, and the brisket meal known for its rich, smoky flavor.

For spice lovers, the dynamite meal brings a satisfying kick, while the crispy chicken meal delivers crunch and flavor.

Dank Sandwich also provides a variety of sides to enhance the experience, including classic French fries and sweet potato fries, which add balance to the hearty sandwiches.

For dessert, the choco marshmallow offers a sweet finish, and fresh juices like orange complement the bold flavors of the meals.

A minor drawback, however, is the pricing. While the meals are substantial and flavorful, they might appear a bit pricey for casual dining.

More affordable options could make Dank Sandwich even more appealing for regular visits.

Overall, Dank Sandwich in Riyadh impresses with generous portions and robust flavors, making it an excellent choice for those seeking comfort food with a twist.

Located on Anas bin Malik road in the north of Riyadh, Home Bakery is one of the city’s most beloved breakfast spots with a constant crowd bustling through the bakery.

What started as a popular home-style bakery in the UAE has expanded to Saudi Arabia with 10 cafes open in Abu Dhabi, Dubai and most recently Riyadh.

Home Bakery offers an array of freshly baked goods, including breads, cookies, croissants, and cakes, and is also renowned for its breakfast selections.

We’ve visited this cafe multiple times and sampled various menu items. From desserts like the zaffron or pistachio cake to savory dishes such as eggs Benedict and avocado toast — we highly recommend trying it all.

For a sweeter breakfast, the restaurant offers a variety of French toasts, but you can’t go wrong with the creme brulee French toast. It might sound overly sweet, but it was well-balanced.

For drinks, we tried the Earl Grey tea, green tea, and a few of their coffee options, such as the cappuccino and latte. The coffee was quite standard, and other places in Riyadh offer stronger and more refined blends. We wouldn’t recommend the matcha, which came in a plastic cup that didn’t reflect the cafe’s aesthetic and tasted overwhelmingly of milk.

The tea service was exceptional. Instead of merely serving a mug of hot water and a tea bag like other restaurants, staff presented us with tea in a glass kettle, warmed over a candle, along with a tray of sweeteners. They also provided a tea timer, explaining that the steeping process takes five minutes for proper brewing.

Regarding the experience, the bakery is very elegant and offers a quiet atmosphere — perfect for work meetings, intimate family breakfasts, or simply enjoying a book over a cup of coffee.

In the winter, the restaurant expands to offer outdoor seating with a variety of sofas and chairs.

In Riyadh, one of the most common concerns is parking space, but the plaza offers free parking, underground parking, and valet service.

In terms of pricing, most items are standard; however, some customers might hesitate to pay SR30 ($8) for a single croissant or SR95 for a slice of tiramisu.

Aside from a few items, most prices are reasonable, ranging from SR10 for a cookie to SR78 for granola pancakes.

Festive season’s guide to dining in Saudi Arabia

Festive season’s guide to dining in Saudi Arabia
  • Roasts, sweets and music on the menu for brunch, lunch and dinner in Riyadh, Jeddah and AlUla
Updated 24 December 2024

DUBAI: Celebrate with friends and family this festive season as hotels and bakeries in Saudi Arabia host special dining events and offerings on Christmas Day.

OH offers a unique twist on traditional Japanese pancakes by incorporating macarons into their dishes, making it a standout spot for dessert lovers.

Located in the bustling Hittin district of Riyadh, this cake shop specializes in Japanese mini pancakes, which are both delicious and visually appealing.

At OH, you can indulge in two delightful flavors: matcha and chocolate. Each mini pancake is priced at SR18 ($4.80), which feels a bit steep for the size, but the quality justifies the expense.

The pancakes are soft yet have a satisfying crunch, creating a delightful texture that is hard to resist.

A highlight of the experience is the specialty matcha macaron, which is filled with a crispy chocolate filling that resembles a sponge cake.

While the flavors are enjoyable, the limited menu may leave some diners wanting more variety. During my visit, I found the service to be quick and friendly, enhancing the overall experience.

The preparation process is an intriguing spectacle. Watching the staff skillfully place the pancake batter into a wooden mold, stuff it with a macaron, and then add another pancake layer is a treat in itself.

The pancakes are cooked right before your eyes, adding a sense of excitement and anticipation to the dining experience.

Despite the shop occasionally being crowded, the staff remains attentive and welcoming. However, I do wonder how often I would return if the menu remains unchanged. While the food is good, a broader selection could elevate the experience.

OH is a charming destination for those looking to try something different. The combination of crunchy and soft textures, along with the unique concept, makes it worth a visit.

  • A must-try for the main course is the Japanese A5 wagyu sirloin, cooked to perfection with your choice of sauce. It pairs well with their signature hand-cut fries or mashed potato

If you are looking for a spot that blends culinary excellence with live music and an exceptional atmosphere, then look no further than Attache.

Situated in Riyadh’s Diplomatic Quarter, the music venue and restaurant is a venture by MDLBeast, the music company, which turned an old equestrian club into a modern fine-dining experience.

The menu at Attache is diverse, featuring a fusion of Mediterranean, European, and Middle Eastern influences. This global approach to cuisine allows diners to explore a variety of flavors, from fresh seafood and grilled meats to inventive vegetarian dishes.

For starters, there is the Thai king prawn gyoza, pan fried with a coriander sauce, and the Swiss comte souffle. This is twice-baked with a comte cheese sauce topped with chives, which gives you satisfying flavors that are not too overwhelming.

For lighter options, opt for the Greek tuna ceviche with a soy marinade, served right at your table, or the English goat cheese salad, with refreshing apple crisp, pecans and rocket leaves, in a date-molasses vinaigrette.

A must-try for the main course is the Japanese A5 wagyu sirloin, cooked to perfection with your choice of sauce. It pairs well with their signature hand-cut fries or mashed potato.

For more complex flavors, the Moroccan lamb tagine is cooked with a Ras El-Hanout spice blend alongside smoked almonds, prunes, pomegranate, and orange-infused couscous.

Whether you are a vegetarian or not, the porcini and portobello mushroom pithivier is an excellent dish featuring a crispy puff pastry stuffed with porcini and spinach, served with a cream sauce.

For a perfect pairing of cocktails, we recommend the multinational, which harmoniously blends non-alcoholic tanqueray, pomegranate and passionfruit with the tartness of Japanese lime.

Also try the Attache royal for a sweet refreshing bubbly drink crafted with homemade non-alcoholic yuzu liqueur that has elderflower notes.

With the festive winter season, you will probably want to enjoy the weather with outdoor seating under the stars.

End the night with a sweet treat, whether it is the signature Saudi coffee tiramisu or a lighter Egyptian mango pavlova, while listening to trendy new mixes directly from their DJ.

It was the perfect setting to relax while sipping their special tea. The massage that followed was incredibly soothing — a much-needed escape from the bustling life of Riyadh.

After the treatment, I was invited to a serene seating area where I enjoyed another calming cup of tea. This thoughtful touch made my experience truly exceptional.

The spa also offers hand and feet services, from soothing pedicures to invigorating manicures, ensuring every aspect of your body is pampered.
