Eat-in/out options
We are happy to confirm that all takeaway restaurants
currently operating are now offering limited indoor seating. Takeaway meals can also be enjoyed in the outdoor seating areas in Discovery Square and Harbor Walk.
Whether you prefer to enjoy your meal inside or outside, the Keep KAUST Safe guidelines regarding
physical distancing must be observed at all times.
Our
table service restaurants will start welcoming the community back to eat on site (indoor/outdoor) in the coming days. Check the
website to see when on site dining reopens. You may need to check menus using
HungryCampus or using a QR code on your phone.
Capacity is limited. If your preferred restaurant is busy, please be patient and try another restaurant or return at another time.
