From a small kitchen making smoked meats to No. 12 on the Middle East & North Africa’s 50 Best Restaurants 2026 — five years running.
The ranking, year by year
In 2022 Marble entered the Middle East & North Africa’s 50 Best Restaurants for the first time. It placed 30th in 2023, 23rd in 2024, 16th in 2025 as the best restaurant in Saudi Arabia, and 12th on the Middle East & North Africa’s 50 Best Restaurants 2026.
How the list is chosen
The list cannot be bought or requested; more than 250 independent experts across the region vote on it. Being chosen once is an honour. Being chosen five years running is consistency — the hardest thing in restaurants.
What came with it
Alongside it came the FACT Dining Awards Riyadh two years in a row, and the trust of national institutions in our catering. But our measures do not hang on a wall: they are re-earned every evening, plate by plate.
