Dave’s Hot Chicken is a Los Angeles based chain that was started back in 2017 by four Armenian friends in a parking lot with just $900. Today they have over 40 locations, Drake as a major investor and will soon have 30 more locations opening up in the Gulf. According to the press release that was published yesterday, the company that got the rights to Dave’s Hot Chicken in the region is the UAE based Lavoya, a company that also has the rights to Joe & The Juice.
The press release doesn’t mention an opening date only that they will be opening 31 locations in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman. I’m trying to remember if I ever had Dave’s Hot Chicken while in LA since the logo looks familiar (plus they’re Armenian) but can’t seem to find any photos of the food in my vacation albums. The food does look really really good on their instagram account so you can drool over those for now @daveshotchicken

Drizzy all the way baby ! 🔥🔥
I know this place well. Eaten there many times & im a huge supporter of their product. Know the owners good people.
What ever happened with Chick-fil-A opening here?
Maybe “We are closed on Sundays” was a deal breaker.
or corona
🤷🏼
As if we didnt have enough Chicken spots in Kuwait already !
Fried chicken and chips. Anything new?
Gonna be a huge loss for CHCKN
I honestly think they are overrated. The chicken strips are more like batter strips.
Since we are on the topic of restaurants…just noticed that Americana has opened up a restaurant in Salmiya in the complex adjacent to Mothercare.
It is located above Wimpys Salmiya.
Any idea what is the Americana restaurant all about? Do we get a large version of their strawberry swiss rolls or something ?
I don’t think there’s an actual restaurant, it’s just an extra dining area (which was there for many years). Americana is the name of the company that owns the franchise rights of Hardee’s, KFC, Baskin Robbins, etc. for the Gulf region so I think it’s just an ordinary sign.
The complex is called FASHION WAY, and Americana Kuwait Food Company renovated their restaurant outlets removing Sbarro and replacing it with Wimpy. Hardee’s, KFC, Baskin Robbins and Krispy Kreme are still there. The upper floor is an additional dining area for their outlets.
Maybe its a shop that sells Americana products like the KDD shop sells KDD products
It will be a hype then slowly die like the rest of the american brnads like blaze and stuff
I don’t think blaze pizza is dead
My LA peeps think Howlin Rays is better. Dunno what it was so I looked it up. It looks really cool.
Dave’s is more famous though.
Hahaha didn’t know Mark was Hispanic… Los Angelas?
🤷🏻♂️
lol i didn’t get the red squiggly underline so didn’t notice!
still waiting for chipotle to open here. im craving them real bad 🥲
please don’t be overpriced please don’t be overpriced please don’t be overpriced…
Dave’s is actually pretty cheap compared to other chicken places where I live it’s about $12 USD and that gives you two sandwiches and a side
