AZKADENYA OPENS FIRST RESTAURANT BRANCH IN SAUDI ARABIA AT RUBEEN PLAZA, RIYADH Trendy restaurant to bring trademark twist on Arabic cuisine to the Kingdom by launching first branch in the capital

Popular restaurant Azkadenya opened its first branch in Riyadh, introducing a new audience to its much-loved Middle-Eastern dishes with a twist. Hailing from Jordan, where the modern-retro, casual dining concept was an instant hit in cosmopolitan capital Amman when it opened in 2011, this will be the first branch in Saudi Arabia.

A one-of-a-kind dining experience, Azkadenya blends a modern approach to traditional Arabic dishes with quirky interiors. Drawing inspiration from the Middle East back in 1950s right through to the early 90s – eccentric design elements are thrown together with humour to create a feast for the eyes, stomach and soul.

Azkadenya, managed by Gourmet Gulf, the leading food and beverage company in the Middle East, is located at Rubeen Plaza, on Riyadh’s Northern Ring Road.

Commenting on the launch, Stewart Black, Chief Executive Officer of Gourmet Gulf said, “The Saudi food industry has grown significantly over the past years and there is a growing demand for the best in class international restaurants. Azkadenya has gained the attention of the Gulf region, especially visitors from Saudi Arabia who frequent our outlets in the UAE. This first branch in Saudi Arabia offers a unique dining experience to Arab food lovers and brings even closer to our customers from Saudi Arabia who are already familiar with Azkadenya’s dishes and ambience.”

He added, the opening represents a significant milestone for the company and is part of Gourmet Gulf’s overall strategy of expanding its presence in Saudi Arabia. “The promising and growing business opportunities within the Kingdom require specialized companies with extensive experience and a high degree of efficiency. Gourmet Gulf’s experience has led us to partner with many leading international restaurant brands and now with our presence in Saudi Arabia, we look forward to adding value to the Kingdom’s existing food and beverage sector,” he said.

As the holy month of Ramadan soon approaches, Azkadenya is also the perfect location for guests to gather with family and friends and enjoy breaking their fast. The restaurant’s unrivalled buffet selection will change every day during the holy month, providing guests with plenty of mouth-watering reasons to return for more throughout the month of Ramadan.

It is also worth mentioning that, Gourmet Gulf holds the exclusive franchises rights of a prominent set of restaurants in KSA, including California Pizza Kitchen, YO! Sushi and Panda Express – the largest and fastest-growing Asian restaurant chain in the world. Other Gourmet Gulf restaurants opening in Saudi Arabia include Texas De Brazil and The Hummingbird Bakery.
