Your weekly reset…
Whether you’re looking for events in Riyadh today or tomorrow, pop-ups happening around town, or you’re planning a few days, we’ve got everything that’ll keep your calendar filled. Make the most of the week with these things to do in Riyadh this week: June 29 to July 2
Sunday June 29
Have lunch at Yu by Toki
Tucked away in the corner of Al Mamlaka Social Dining, this new contemporary Asian dining destination by Leylaty Group (the same creators behind the beloved Kuuru) is the sister restaurant of Toki, one of the oldest and most sought-after establishments in Jeddah. The cuisine at YÙ by Toki is mostly modern Cantonese and Szechuan. And with so much talk about the brand’s dim sum creations, we simply must try some ourselves.
YÙ by Toki, Second Floor, Al Mamlaka Social Dining, Kingdom Centre, Al Olaya St, Riyadh, daily noon to 1am. @yubytoki
