About

You asked, we listened. Saudi Arabia’s restaurant, leisure and entertainment scene has never been more exciting. So we’re delighted to introduce the What’s On Riyadh Awards to celebrate the creators, innovators and industry pioneers across Saudi Arabia for the very first time.

What makes these awards special is that they are voted for by the public. There are 24 categories across a breadth of dining and leisure experiences, all designed to celebrate the very best in the business. Of the 17 restaurant categories, 16 celebrate the gourmet gastronomy in Riyadh, while there’s a dedicated category for the culinary scene in AlUla. The four entertainment and leisure categories invite entries from across the Kingdom. Then there’s the coveted Editor’s Choice awards, a duo of recipients of which will be handpicked by the editorial team.

Once the votes are in, we welcome the country’s top local and international gastronomy and entertainment talents to a dazzling awards night at 7.30pm on Wednesday September 20 at JW Marriott Hotel Riyadh, when the winners of those coveted trophies will be announced.
