A.O.K stands for “all is okay”. The restaurant was born in 2019 London’s Marylebone neighbourhood and is known for its Mediterranean-meets-Californian food along with inclusive menu that caters to different diets and food intolerances.

The A.O.K Riyadh menu will stay true to the original A.O.K Marylebone menu so diners can expect a focus on Californian and Mediterranean plates crafted with quality ingredients from small, artisanal producers and a wholesome, sugar-free menu that uses limited dairy and gluten.

A.O.K Riyadh will offer all-day dining. The eatery is open daily from 8am to 11.30pm, and it serves breakfast, lunch, dinner and the aforementioned exclusive afternoon tea that will only be available in the first Saudi Arabia A.O.K.
