Where We Are Going Today: ‘Century Burger’ restaurant in Jeddah

  • The original CB, my repeat order, is a simple burger packed with flavor, served with pillow-soft buns, a thick beef patty, Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato and the signature CB sauce

Saudi burger joint Century Burger offers an extensive menu of mouthwatering dishes.

Known for its hearty meals and fresh ingredients, Century Burger began in Jeddah, where it established its first restaurant on Prince Sultan Road.

Today, the chain has 13 stores across the Kingdom and is among the largest Saudi casual dining brands.

I usually like to start with the black beetroot salad, a refreshing mix of arugula, beetroot, red onion, cooked sweet potatoes, feta cheese and a tangy dressing.

The original CB, my repeat order, is a simple burger packed with flavor, served with pillow-soft buns, a thick beef patty, Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato and the signature CB sauce.

When I crave something savory and spicy, I opt for the fajita burger: A succulent beef patty topped with fresh grilled vegetables, fajita seasoning and melted cheese.

For anyone looking to reduce their carb intake, the keto burger is savory, delicious and very filling.

One of Century Burger’s many creative takes on burgers is black umami, served with black squid ink buns, grilled chicken breast, Swiss cheese, arugula, crispy onion, a house-made umami sauce and pickles.

The restaurant also offers variety of starters and side orders, from flavored chicken wings and chicken strips to various shrimp options.

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.
