February 25, 2009
BOSTON -- On the heels of a recent opening at the Mall of Dubai, the world's largest mall, Uno Chicago Grill continues its expansion into the Middle East with the opening of its first unit in Kuwait.
The restaurant is located in the Avenue Mall in Kuwait City, just across from an 8,000-square-foot children/family play area.
The Avenue Mall restaurant is one of several new openings in the area for Sofra LLC, the master licensee for Uno in the Middle East, which signed a 20-unit development deal covering nine countries: Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Egypt, Kuwait, Jordan, Oman and Bahrain.
The licensee for the new Kuwait City Uno is Sheikh Yousef Abdullah Sabah Al Nasser Al Sabah, amember of the ruling royal family.
Uno's lead chef and concept team have made menu and restaurant design changes to reflect the cultural and taste preferences of diners in each area. For example, pork dishes, as well as alcohol, have been removed from the menu, and Halal-certified meats are featured.
