Chili’s Opens First Dubai Branch at Ibn Battuta Mall 2025
Food Innovation Company (FIC), the exclusive franchise partner of Chili’s in the UAE, Bahrain, and Oman, has announced an exciting milestone. Chili’s first Dubai restaurant opened at Ibn Battuta Mall on August 21, 2025.
This launch marks a new step in Chili’s UAE journey, after the success of its restaurants in Sharjah, Al Ain, and Abu Dhabi. The new branch brings the same authentic flavors, fun atmosphere, and warm hospitality that fans of Chili’s already love.
A New Beginning for Chili’s in Dubai
Chili’s has officially arrived at Ibn Battuta Mall, one of Dubai’s most famous shopping destinations. The new branch offers a welcoming space for families and friends to enjoy great food together.
The decision to open in Dubai highlights FIC’s commitment to expansion and guest satisfaction. After positive results in other Emirates, the brand is now ready to bring its unique dining experience to Dubai residents and visitors.
Proven Success in Other Emirates
Before entering Dubai, Chili’s already had strong roots in the UAE. Its restaurants at City Centre Al Zahia in Sharjah, Al Jimi Mall in Al Ain, and Dalma Mall in Abu Dhabi have been well received.
These branches showed that Chili’s is more than just a restaurant. It is a place where people gather to share food, laughter, and special moments. With each launch, FIC has proven that there is a strong demand for Chili’s signature style.

Lubna Fakhro, Managing Director of FIC, shared her excitement about the opening in Dubai:

Her message reflects FIC’s focus on quality, consistency, and customer happiness.
Why Dubai is the Right Choice
Dubai is one of the most exciting dining destinations in the world. The city is home to a diverse mix of people and attracts millions of tourists each year. It also has a strong dining culture, from fine dining to casual restaurants.
Opening a branch at Ibn Battuta Mall makes perfect sense. The mall is known for its high footfall, mix of visitors, and family-friendly atmosphere. Chili’s offers a casual dining experience that fits perfectly with Dubai’s lifestyle.
What to Expect at Chili’s Ibn Battuta Mall
The new Chili’s branch offers a modern design with a lively atmosphere. Guests can enjoy a wide range of favorites, including:
- Sizzling fajitas
- Signature burgers
- Classic quesadillas
- Ribs and Tex-Mex platters
- Molten chocolate cake
The restaurant is built for families and groups. With spacious seating, attentive service, and a fun vibe, it is a place for both everyday meals and special occasions.
Good Times Are Back
Chili’s global motto, “Good Times Are Back,” is at the heart of this new Dubai opening. The restaurant is not only about food but also about creating memories and experiences.
Every branch in the UAE follows the same approach: delicious meals, friendly staff, and a welcoming setting. Chili’s has become a place where people can celebrate birthdays, enjoy family dinners, or simply relax with friends.
The Role of Food Innovation Company
Food Innovation Company has played a major role in bringing Chili’s closer to UAE communities. With exclusive rights to operate Chili’s in the UAE, Bahrain, and Oman, FIC is committed to expanding the brand in a thoughtful and sustainable way.
Its strategy focuses on quality service, adapting to local preferences, and keeping global standards high. This balance has made Chili’s a trusted dining choice across the Emirates.
What’s Next for Chili’s in the UAE
The opening in Dubai is not the final step. FIC has plans to grow Chili’s presence in more locations across the UAE.
Future goals include:
- Opening more branches in malls and urban areas.
- Expanding delivery and digital ordering services.
- Adding new menu items that appeal to local tastes.
- Exploring sustainable practices in sourcing and operations.
This shows that FIC is looking beyond today’s launch and is working toward a long-term vision of making Chili’s a top dining destination across the UAE.
