While different diets work for different people, I found that I feel my best when I am on the paleo diet, also known as the caveman diet.
Taking you back to the Paleolithic era before processed food, the paleo diet follows a “hunt and gather” concept as it includes lean meats, fruits, vegetables, seafood and different types of nuts and seeds.
On my journey to look for delicious paleo recipes, I found the mobile application-only available on the App Store — Paleo Plate, which taught me so many amazing dishes that made it easy for me to let go of bread, rice, and any other type of refined carbohydrates.
It has recipes by sections; beef, vegetarian, seafood poultry, breakfast, side dishes and dessert.
Diving into the seafood section, I tried the app’s tuna and grilled zucchini salad, and paleo fish sticks (the breading is made with dried vegetable chips and almonds after using a food processor).
I love how organized the application is as it has a clear instruction guide and ingredients list with estimated preparation time and number of servings.
With Paleo Plate, I found that you can substitute your refined carbs with much healthier alternatives such as cauliflower, which I have seen used as a pizza base, bread crumb substitute and more, throughout the app.
They also have an “Is it Paleo?” section where you can type in any ingredient for the app to filter whether it is paleo or not. It already has a long list of what is paleo such as almond butter, extract and flour, bamboo shoots, avocado oil, applesauce and more, and what is not paleo such as apricot kernels, barley, buckwheat, canola oil and other examples.
This makes grocery shopping easier and more time-efficient as I know exactly what to buy and what to avoid.

Where We Are Going Today: Rowly’s in Riyadh
- The ambience inside is both playful and rustic, with tables covered with classic red checkered cloth and the bar lined with bottles of Coca-Cola
From London to Dubai and now bringing in crowds in Riyadh, Rowly’s steakhouse opened its doors to customers in KAFD Riyadh at the end of 2025. Known for its signature fox logo and iconic mono-dish menu, the restaurant is for steak lovers looking to get a taste of London in Riyadh.
Upon arrival, a long line forms beneath the restaurant’s red banner, where guests can pass the time with Rowly’s “Match the Box” game, an interactive touch that introduces the brand’s theme before stepping inside.
The ambience inside is both playful and rustic, with tables covered with classic red checkered cloth and the bar lined with bottles of Coca-Cola. Decks of Uno and other games are provided throughout the space for those looking to enjoy themselves over their meal. Fox portraits decorate the restaurant, really bringing the theme together.
This playfulness extends to Rowly’s menu itself, where steak and side options are written on a large sheet of paper on the table and guests can check off their desired steak style, fries, salad, and sauce.
The menu features striploin, ribeye, and their special steak option. The waiter recommended I pair my Australian striploin with their secret sauce, accompanied by a side of truffle fries and a house salad.
The Australian striploin was priced at SR145 ($39), and you are able to add an extra 100 grams for SR60. I ordered my steak medium-cooked; it was delicious and paired wonderfully with my sides. I also got a Coke Zero to complete the classic meal.
While we waited for our order, we were able to use the menu sheet for games such as XP, word search puzzles, and maze puzzles, alongside the card decks provided.
For dessert, I tried the chocolate mousse, the perfect way to wrap up a traditional, enjoyable meal.
Rowly’s is a lively new addition to Riyadh’s dining scene, ideal for those willing to spend a little more time than usual for a fun yet high-end steak experience. I would recommend Rowley’s to families and friends looking for a straightforward menu that delivers high-quality meat in an energetic setting.
