Chili’s opens first outlet in Abu Dhabi, operated by FIC

Abu Dhabi: Food Innovation Company (FIC), the exclusive franchisee of Chili’s in the UAE, Bahrain, and Oman, is pleased to announce the opening of Chili’s first Abu Dhabi location at Dalma Mall on May 14, 2025. Following successful operations in Sharjah and Al Ain, this expansion marks an exciting milestone in Chili’s journey across the Emirates.

Located in one of Abu Dhabi’s premier family destinations, Dalma Mall, the new Chili’s branch offers a warm and welcoming dining experience for all. This opening marks FIC’s first Chili’s location in the capital, following the successful launches in Sharjah (City Centre Al Zahia) and Al Ain (Al Jimi Mall). The expansion reflects FIC’s commitment to consistent quality, guest satisfaction, and bringing the original Chili’s flavor to more communities across the UAE, showing that truly Good Times Are Back!

“We are proud to bring the Chili’s experience to Abu Dhabi for the first time,” said Lubna Fakhro, Managing Director of Food Innovation Company (FIC).

“Our branches in Sharjah and Al Ain have been incredibly well received, and we’re proud of the results our team has achieved so far. This new location in Dalma Mall marks another important step in our growth journey. We’re doing everything we can to ensure we deliver the same high standards in Abu Dhabi - and continue raising the bar as we expand across the UAE.

We are truly grateful for the warm support and enthusiasm of the UAE’s residents, whose love for Chili’s continues to inspire us. Our goal is to create welcoming spaces where families and friends can come together to enjoy great food and meaningful moments.”

Dalma Mall officially opens its doors to the public on May 16, 2025.
