Winner: Favourite Urban Bites – Dave’s Hot Chicken
If it’s one thing Saudi diners hold near and dear to their hearts, it’s fried chicken. This wildly popular, Nashville-style hot chicken chain from Los Angeles (LA), with rappers and actors for investors, joined the Saudi dining scene in early 2023 and has since become a firm favourite in the Kingdom thanks to its true tests of spice (you’re even meant to sign a waiver for a particular spice level). It’s fun, it’s easy, but most importantly, it is delicious.
