This list of the best sandwich shops in Riyadh wouldn’t be complete without having an option for Saudi’s favourite sandwich. When it comes to great shawarma in Riyadh, it doesn’t get more classic than Mama Noura’s. A casual, typically crowded joint, Mama Noura has been operating for almost three decades. It’s juicy and greasy – in the best possible way – pitas and plates are so popular that there’s often a line, making for a steady turnover that ensures you’ll be getting the freshest meat from the spit, day or night.
Mama Noura, various locations, daily 5.30am to 3am, Tel: 011 439 9998. @mamanouraksa
