This Saudi Restaurant Still Serves Coca-Cola the Old-Fashioned Way
Baba Cola is bringing a nostalgic twist to Riyadh with old-fashioned colas, topped with vanilla ice cream and cherries.
Based in Riyadh’s Al Malqa, Baba Cola keeps things deliberately compact with a six-item menu built around steak-loaded sandwiches, Truffle Parmesana Fries and a particularly nostalgic take on cola.
That drink is where the retro streak really shows. Baba Cola serves old-fashioned colas topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a cherry, bringing the look and feel of a classic diner float into an otherwise modern menu.
The combination gives the concept a nice contrast: short, contemporary food menu on one side, full throwback soda-shop energy on the other.
Whether you’re there for the steak sandwiches, the fries or just the cola float, Baba Cola keeps the proposition simple — a small menu and just enough nostalgia to make it memorable.
