Dave’s Hot Chicken Ignites Abu Dhabi Again with Yas Mall Location This January!

ABU DHABI/GULF TIME

Dave’s Hot Chicken, the cult-favourite LA-born brand celebrated for its Nashville-style hot chicken, is turning up the heat in the capital on January 29 with the grand opening of its newest branch at Yas Mall, Abu Dhabi. This much-anticipated debut comes on the heels of the brand’s rapid regional expansion, including recent openings at Marina Mall in Abu Dhabi and Dubai Festival City Mall.
The Yas Mall launch marks a major step in the brand’s continued UAE growth, bringing its crave-worthy menu to one of Abu Dhabi’s most vibrant shopping and entertainment destinations. Mohamed Ahmed, Director of Operations – Dave’s Hot Chicken GCC, at Lavoya Restaurants Group said:
“Opening at Yas Mall is a huge milestone for us in Abu Dhabi. It’s a destination that attracts residents, tourists, and families alike – the perfect location to introduce even more people to Dave’s Hot Chicken. We’re excited to keep expanding across the UAE and delivering the bold flavours and high-energy experience our fans love.”
Strategically located in the heart of Yas Island’s bustling retail hub, the new Dave’s Hot Chicken branch is set to become a go-to spot for flavour seekers. Whether stopping by during a shopping spree, before a movie, or after a day at the attractions on Yas Island, guests can expect nice interiors, friendly service, and the brand’s signature heat-packed menu.
Known for its Hot Chicken Sliders, Tenders, and Dave’s Bites, the brand offers seven heat levels- from No Spice to the infamous Reaper™, which requires a signed waiver for the brave. Fan-favourite sides include creamy Mac & Cheese, fresh Kale Slaw, Top-Loaded Fries, Slushers, indulgent shakes, and the newly launched saucy bites, making it one of the region’s most exciting fast-casual dining destinations.
The opening at Yas Mall marks yet another chapter in Dave’s Hot Chicken’s impressive UAE journey, with more expansions planned as the brand continues to win hearts (and burn taste buds — in the best way) across the region.
