The categories
This year, the awards have been extended to an impressive 44 categories, expanding to include new cuisines and experiences in Riyadh, and encompass restaurants, entertainment and leisure categories across the wider Kingdom, a testament to the accelerated growth in Jeddah, AlUla, the Eastern Province, and even The Red Sea.
Of the 44 categories, 41 are decided solely by public vote. But we couldn’t let you have all of the fun. Completing the awards categories are a trio of coveted Editor’s Choice awards, which will be handpicked by the editorial team. These are Homegrown Restaurant of the Year, Newcomer of the Year, and Restaurant of the Year.
