RIYADH: As winter sets in across Riyadh, residents are looking for new ways to enjoy the city, from trying different restaurants to exploring outdoor activities.
For those who want to combine a meal with a fun new experience, Ki in Riyadh offers a way to enjoy a restaurant outing with friends while trying something different.
The Japanese dining spot has two locations in Riyadh: one in the northern neighborhood of Al-Narjis and another in Hittin, closer to the city center.
The spot offers great food while also introducing the concept of playing card games while putting participants’ phones in a box on the table.
The card games are great for couples and groups as they explore deeper questions about the other party. The cards are reminiscent of a popular card game titled We’re Not Really Strangers, which uses conversation and play to help people build stronger connections.
Alongside the activity, guests enjoy a selection of Japanese dishes. The menu features familiar favorites, including dynamite shrimp, bao, gyoza and sushi.
The restaurant has a softly lit interior and calming decor, with a limited number of tables that create an intimate atmosphere. We decided to order our food before starting the game and placed our phones in the lockbox provided on the table.
