Japanese BBQ is having a moment, and Saudi is embracing it.

Kintan brings a premium cook-your-own style dining to Riyadh. Uniquely, guests will cook their own meal (with the help of servers of course) allowing diners to get more involved, and enjoy an authentic Japanese dining experience: Yakiniku.

This new spot is already popular with locals, serving up a range of succulent burgers and crispy, seasoned fries, Prime Cut has officially arrived in Riyadh. Roll your sleeves up, this is juicy, wholesome American-style grub.

Go classic with a double patty beef burger topped with grilled onions, fresh lettuce, tomatoes and pickles or trying something a little bit more adventurous like the slightly spiced, crunchy chipotle chicken burger with all the trimmings.
