There are many places in Riyadh serving steak, but how many are making their own cherry cola from scratch? Meet Baba Cola, a new steakhouse in Al Malqa bringing a fun American diner experience to the city, complete with handcrafted sodas, comfort food, and a seriously nostalgic vibe.
The menu is short, but that’s exactly what makes it good. The Baba Steak (38 SAR) is the star of the show, while the Truffle Parmesana Fries are the perfect side for sharing. You can also go for the Halloumi with Honey, Parmesana Salad, or keep it simple with their crispy Classic Fries.
The real reason everyone is talking about Baba Cola, though, is the drinks. Instead of pouring cola from a bottle, they make their signature cherry cola the old-school way. Every glass is mixed by hand using flavored syrup and sparkling water, just like vintage soda fountains used to do it. It’s fresh, fizzy, and honestly one of the coolest things about the whole experience.
And if you have a sweet tooth, don’t leave without ordering the Soda Float. Their handcrafted cherry cola topped with creamy ice cream is the perfect mix of refreshing and nostalgic.
If you’re always looking for new restaurants in Riyadh that actually offer something unique, this one deserves a spot on your list.
Baba Cola is open daily from 6 PM until 2 AM in Al Malqa. Just make sure to book your table in advance before you go.
