The wait is finally over. Pickl Riyadh has arrived. The award-winning Dubai burger brand, known for its no-compromise approach to fresh ingredients and bold flavors, has opened its doors in the Saudi capital. And they didn’t just come quietly. With not one but two launches in Riyadh, including a flagship at U Walk, Pickl is bringing its full smash-burger swagger to the Kingdom’s booming food scene.
U Walk Gets a New Burger Star
U Walk has always been a magnet for food lovers, but now it has a sizzling new addition. The Pickl U Walk Riyadh location spans over 2,200 square feet, seating almost a hundred guests inside and two dozen outside. With neon lights, bold graphics, and that unmistakable Pickl vibe, it’s a space designed for lingering over fries as much as grabbing a burger on the go.
It’s open late, until 1 AM most nights, making it a prime stop for after-dinner cravings or a post-movie bite. And if you’d rather stay in, Pickl’s team is ready to deliver through all the major platforms.
The Story Behind the Brand
Pickl started in Dubai in 2019, but in just a few years, it’s become one of the Middle East’s most celebrated burger spots. Founded by Steve Flawith, the concept is simple: Fresh. Fast. Food. Every burger is made from hormone-free, antibiotic-free, preservative-free ingredients. That dedication to quality has won Pickl titles like Best Burger from Time Out Dubai and Restaurant of the Year from Deliveroo UAE.
Now with more than 35 locations across seven markets, Pickl Saudi Arabia is a milestone the brand has had its eye on for a long time.
A Menu Worth the Hype
The Pickl restaurant Riyadh menu is packed with favorites. Think The Jeff Cheeseburger with its fiery kick, the classic New Yorker, and the indulgent BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger. Chicken lovers get options like the heat-level-customizable Chicken Sando, while plant-based eaters can order an Impossible Burger that’s just as satisfying as the real thing.
Customization is key here. You can tweak patties, pick your pickles, and play with sauces until it’s exactly your kind of burger.
Why Riyadh Makes Sense
With Saudi Arabia’s food scene exploding and U Walk restaurants in Riyadh drawing constant crowds, the timing couldn’t be better. The city’s appetite for premium, personality-packed dining aligns perfectly with what Pickl brings to the table. It’s an experience that’s playful, flavorful, and proudly regional in its roots.
Beyond Burgers. A Vision for Growth
Pickl isn’t stopping at Riyadh. Operated in the Kingdom by Sky Restaurants, the plan is to expand further across Saudi Arabia. With the brand’s track record, expect to see more branches popping up in prime foodie spots soon.
A New Reason to Visit U Walk
Between the corniche-style walkway, boutique shops, and its growing list of must-try eateries, U Walk has become one of the capital’s favorite hangouts. Now, with Dubai’s famous burger in Saudi Arabia, there’s one more reason to make the trip. Whether you’re a smash burger purist or just looking for one of the best burgers in Riyadh, Pickl has arrived to claim a top spot on your list.
