  • I was at a birthday dinner and asked a girl how she met my friend. She said at a Timeleft dinner! I had never heard of the app, but I decided to give it a go. I have been to two dinners so far and plan to go to more…

Questions about Timeleft in Riyadh

How can I meet new friends in Riyadh?
Timeleft matches you with four to six people for dinner or coffee in Riyadh, based on your interests, personality and language. You sign up on your own, we choose the venue and the group, and 12 hours before the event, the app tells you where to go.
When are Timeleft events in Riyadh?
There's dinner every Wednesday and Friday at 8:00 pm and coffee every Saturday at 4:00 pm. Bookings close 13 hours before each event starts.
Where in Riyadh do they happen?
At restaurants and cafés across Riyadh. The app shows the exact venue 12 hours before the event.
How much does a Timeleft dinner cost in Riyadh?
To book, you need a Timeleft subscription. Food and drinks are paid separately at the venue. Subscription prices depend on the plan you pick, and the app shows them before you pay.
Can I go on my own?
Yes. You book on your own and we put the group together, so you don't need to bring anyone. Every event is at a public venue we've vetted, and our safety guidelines cover the rest. The guide to your first dinner walks through it step by step.
Is Timeleft a dating app?
No. There are no profiles to swipe through, and nobody gets paired off. You meet four to six people at once, in person.
What if I'm vegetarian or vegan, or have an allergy?
Pick a dietary preference in the app when you book, and we'll do our best to seat you at a venue that caters to it. Nearly every restaurant we use in Riyadh has vegetarian dishes, and some have vegan ones too. For allergies, check with the venue on the day.
