Cheaper yet are the countless curry shops run by and for Saudi Arabia's large Indian/Pakistani/Bangladeshi community, which serve up large thali platters of subcontinental fare for under SR10. Just don't expect frills like air-conditioning.

Fast food is a huge business in Saudi Arabia, with all the usual suspects McDonalds, Burger King, Pizza Hut, Subway and not a few chains that rarely venture outside America elsewhere e.g. Hardee's/Carl's Jr., Little Caesars. Meals invariably served with fries and Coke cost SR10-20. Some local imitators worth checking out include:

House of Donuts

"the finest american pastries" - a chain started by saudi students who studied in america

local cuisine
Mandi
