Dave’s Hot Chicken Opens in Al Khobar

Dave’s Hot Chicken has expanded its Saudi Arabian presence with a new Al Khobar restaurant, bringing its signature Nashville-style flavours to the Eastern Province.

Dave’s Hot Chicken has opened its first restaurant in Al Khobar, continuing the fast-growing brand’s expansion across Saudi Arabia.

Located at Grand House, the new branch is the brand’s sixth restaurant in the Kingdom and introduces customers in the Eastern Province to its distinctive take on Nashville hot chicken.

As one of Saudi Arabia’s leading coastal lifestyle destinations, Al Khobar represents an important addition to the company’s growth plans. The opening reflects Dave’s Hot Chicken’s commitment to reaching more communities across the Kingdom while contributing to its increasingly diverse food and beverage sector.

Born in Los Angeles, Dave’s Hot Chicken has gained international recognition for its bold flavours and customisable spice levels, which range from Not Hot to the daring Reaper. Guests choosing the hottest option are required to sign a waiver.

The menu features the brand’s signature chicken sliders, crispy tenders and saucy bites, accompanied by a selection of sides including macaroni and cheese, kale slaw, loaded fries and Hot Mozz. Diners can also choose from creamy slushers and indulgent loaded shakes.

A Key Milestone

Najib Yaacoub, Chief Operating Officer of Lavoya Restaurants Group, says: “Al Khobar represents an important milestone in Dave’s Hot Chicken’s Saudi Arabia growth strategy as we continue to expand our presence in key markets across the Kingdom.”

Mr. Yaacoub says the opening demonstrates the company’s long-term commitment to investing in Saudi Arabia’s dynamic food and beverage industry while introducing an internationally recognised concept that responds to evolving customer expectations.

He adds: “As the Kingdom advances its Vision 2030 ambitions, we are proud to play a role in enriching the culinary landscape through unique dining experiences and continued investment in local communities.”

Available for dine-in, takeaway and delivery, the Al Khobar restaurant combines bold flavours, high-quality ingredients and warm hospitality in a relaxed, fast-casual setting.

Dave’s Hot Chicken began in 2017 when childhood friends Dave Kopushyan, Arman Oganesyan and Tommy Rubenyan launched the concept from a Los Angeles car park using portable fryers and folding tables.

The business quickly gained momentum before opening its first permanent restaurant in East Hollywood. It has since developed into an international franchise with locations across the United States, Canada and the Middle East.
