The Cheesecake Factory story began back in the 1940's when Evelyn Overton found a cheesecake recipe in a Detroit, Michigan newspaper that would inspire her "Original" cheesecake. More than 70 years and 30 cheesecakes later, The Cheesecake Factory has grown into an international sensation. With three restaurants located in Dubai and Kuwait, and the first restaurant in KSA now opening in Jeddah, this makes it the fourth The Cheesecake Factory in the Middle East.
The Cheesecake Factory is known for its extensive and creative menu, generous portions, distinctive décor and legendary desserts. With more than 250 menu selections including nearly 50 lower-calorie “SkinnyLicious™” dishes – all handmade, in-house with fresh ingredients – and its range of more than 30 legendary cheesecakes and specialty desserts including the White Chocolate Raspberry Truffle™, Ultimate Red Velvet Cake Cheesecake™ and Linda’s Fudge Cake, there is truly “Something for everyone” at The Cheesecake Factory.
