In the heart of Riyadh’s Diplomatic Quarter, a new culinary oasis is about to emerge, offering a much-needed solution for residents and professionals in the area. Set to open in mid-November, Round 12 will be located in the lively Al Fazari Plaza, perfectly positioned between roundabouts 2 and 3, directly facing the British Council. For those who’ve long faced the challenge of venturing far outside the Quarter to satisfy their cravings, Round 12 is about to change the game—bringing both convenience and flavor right to their doorstep.
With sleek, modern interiors and a concept that feels both global and local, Round 12 is more than just a restaurant—it’s a culinary destination. The café will open early, at 6 AM on weekdays (8 AM on weekends), catering to the early risers with a breakfast menu featuring fresh, traditional Arabic dishes. Imagine the aromatic allure of warm flatbreads, rich cheeses, and vibrant spreads, perfectly complemented by a daily selection of specialty coffee that’s bound to become a morning ritual for many.
But the magic doesn’t end with breakfast. As the day turns into night, Round 12 will transform, offering an exotic twist with its West African-inspired dinner menu, coming straight from West Africa. Think hot, spicy bites of chicken and tender meat sticks reminiscent of kebabs but crafted with an elevated touch—better quality, deeper flavors, and a dining experience that will transport your taste buds across continents. These grilled delights, served with a hint of spice and flair, are poised to become an instant hit among the Quarter’s discerning food lovers.
What’s refreshing about Round 12 is that while it brings unique and diverse flavors, it does so at prices that won’t break the bank. Affordable yet refined, it’s designed to cater to both the casual diner looking for a quick, satisfying meal and those seeking a more relaxed, sit-down experience.
The Diplomatic Quarter has long been a hub of international life, yet finding quality dining options within its borders has often been a challenge. With the arrival of Round 12, this cosmopolitan area finally gets the dining spot it deserves. Whether you’re grabbing a quick coffee on your way to the office, meeting friends for lunch, or settling in for a leisurely dinner under the stars, Round 12 offers something for everyone, blending the best of traditional Arabic flavors with bold West African dishes.
So, mark your calendars for mid-November and get ready to experience Round 12. This new restaurant is poised to become the Quarter’s most sought-after dining destination—an answer to the community’s needs and a celebration of diverse flavors, all without leaving the comfort of Riyadh’s Diplomatic Quarter.
