One minor issue during our visit was finding the upstairs toilet, as the signage was not very clear and visible, so we got a bit lost. Hopefully management can improve this for a better guest experience. Aside from that, we had a great dining experience during Eid Al Adha Mubarak 2026 while craving Latin American food in Riyadh with friends. We enjoyed everything we ordered from starters to mains, desserts, and drinks. The Grilled Baby Chicken Hot Pot, Slow Cooked Beef Cheek, Cucumber & Green Apple Salad, Guacamole, and Chichamisu dessert were our favorites. The restaurant has a classy ambiance, and the staff were friendly and attentive, especially Miss Hope and the Filipino team for their recommendations and excellent service.
Inspired by Incan ancient civilization, each corner of the restaurant is designed with clear attention to detail and immerses you in the beautiful world of Coya. Everything about the decor, the design, the glassware is stunning. As for the food, the cuisine is labeled as Peruvian, but there are many items on the menu that are clearly not Peruvian. The Slow Cooked Beef Cheek (my favorite dish) was very flavorful and the meat was extremely tender and I really enjoyed the golden berry cocktail. That being said, I think the portions were ridiculously small for the price you pay. I understand that you are paying for the experience, but I don’t think the food was all that good for the price you pay. If they shortened the list of options on the menu, I think the Coya team could focus on perfecting a few dishes, and I think that would enhance the customer experience. The team that served us were all super friendly and extremely accommodating so shout outs to them!
An absolutely unforgettable Ramadan Iftar experience — truly one of the finest and most luxurious we have ever had. ✨ From the moment we arrived, everything was simply exceptional… the elegant atmosphere, the exquisite flavors, the impeccable attention to detail, and the warm, refined hospitality that made the entire evening feel truly special. Every element was thoughtfully curated, creating a dining experience that was not only memorable, but genuinely remarkable. A heartfelt thank you to the entire COYA team for delivering such a beautiful and elevated experience. And a very special appreciation to CAMILO and RIYAJ for their outstanding service, professionalism, and genuine care — you made our evening even more extraordinary. Without a doubt, one of the best Iftar experiences we’ve ever had… and certainly not our last visit. 🤍
