The Mukaab’s restaurant programming will operate within one of the largest concentrated retail environments ever constructed — over 980,000 square meters of retail space across the New Murabba development, exceeding the gross leasable area of Dubai Mall. The spiral tower at the structure’s core integrates dining across multiple elevation levels, offering restaurants with views into the world’s largest immersive dome. Riyadh’s existing restaurant landscape provides the competitive context: 52 venues recognized in the inaugural MICHELIN Guide Saudi Arabia 2026, celebrity chefs from Daniel Boulud to Akira Back already operating in the capital, and a foodservice market projected to reach USD 32.56 billion in 2026. This section profiles every known and anticipated dining concept within The Mukaab and benchmarks them against the KAFD, Diriyah, and Boulevard dining ecosystems that have set the standard for mega-project F&B in Saudi Arabia.
