Afternoon tea has debuted at A.O.K. Kitchen Riyadh

The new concept was created exclusively for its outpost in Saudi Arabia.

The opening of A.O.K Kitchen’s first international outpost in Riyadh earlier this year accented the Saudi capital’s burgeoning hospitality scene with a chic dining concept renowned for its refined menu. Now, the London-based eatery has unveiled a brand-new afternoon tea concept offered exclusively at the Riyadh venue. This launch marks the first time that A.O.K. Kitchen is serving the British afternoon ritual.

The leisurely two-hour experience combines A.O.K.’s inclusive food ethos with refined teas and delicious beverages that are deliberately free from refined sugar and consciously limited in gluten and dairy, resulting in a light meal that feels as good as it tastes. Served daily from 5pm to 7pm daily, A.O.K. Kitchen’s afternoon tea experience brings the essence of London’s beloved high tea ritual to the heart of Riyadh. Designed to be enjoyed in good company, a minimum booking of two people is required.

Priced at SAR 220 per person, the experience features all the usual suspects – a mouthwatering selection of freshly made sandwiches, scones, cakes, and pastries – all of which are meticulously prepared using wholesome, high-quality ingredients sourced from small, artisanal producers. Additionally, the sandwiches and pastries will change seasonally and highlight the season’s culinary stars. Featuring English classics such as carrot cake, scones with homemade preserves and clotted cream, and Coronation Chicken sandwiches alongside regionally inspired creations like Cucumber and Zaatar sandwiches and Baba with Cardamom Namelaka, A.O.K.’s afternoon tea menu effortlessly blends British high tea traditions with local flavours.

Collectively, they’re served alongside a complete selection of green, black, and bespoke herbal tea infusions, making it an unmissable culinary ritual perfect for tea enthusiasts across Riyadh. For those looking to take their afternoon tea experience up another notch, premium non-alcoholic bubbles will also be available for order by the glass and by the bottle – the perfect way to celebrate a special occasion.
