WKD Chicken has launched its first dine-in branch, which is located at Bay Avenue Mall in Business Bay, Dubai.

Louay Ghandour, Cravia group managing director, said: “WKD Chicken is our second home-grown brand and our seventh overall. It takes the Nashville chicken recipe and elevates it to an exceptional flavour that surpasses all its global counterparts, offering crispy, succulent and perfectly seasoned chicken that is meticulously prepared to deliver unmatched taste in every bite.” 

“We are continuously investing in growing our portfolio of businesses across the region and beyond and are delighted to be opening WKD Chicken’s first dine-in location at Bay Avenue Mall to provide Nashville’s best to the populated office and residential buildings in the area.

“We look forward to welcoming customers to the new restaurant and invite them to explore WKD Chicken’s exceptional offering that mirrors our promised quality across the board.”

Presenting the best Nashville-style chicken this side of the planet, WKD Chicken has been elevating fried-chicken restaurants since its inauguration in May through its dark kitchen on Hessa Street and food truck in Motor City.

Represented by its cheeky mascot, GUS, WKD Chicken is a home-grown brand that serves delectable chicken sandos and wings, amazing waffle fries, and indulgent shakes made with premium ice cream.

The new restaurant at Bay Avenue Mall represents an expansion of the brand and Cravia’s portfolio, which also includes Cinnabon, Zaatar W Zeit, Seattle’s Best Coffee, and Carvel in the UAE and Five Guys and Zaatar W Zeit in Saudi Arabia.
