DUBAI: If there’s one restaurant in the city that offers guilt-free food selection for the health-conscious and the just-loving-it foodies, Kenny Rogers Roasters is definitely one of the best places to be.
Filipinos in the UAE are already bombarded with unhealthy food options and with the entry of Kenny Rogers Roasters (KRR) in Dubai last Dec. 17, healthy eating became an everyday possibility. For just about a year, Kenny Rogers Roasters has become a hit not only to Filipinos but to other nationalities not familiar with the brand. “Healthy doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be tasty,” Luis Daniel, KRR vice president said.
Daniel added that Kenny Rogers Roasters’ philosophy is focused on preparing wholesome, hearty and well-balanced meals, which mirrors today’s discerning consumers’ changing attitude toward healthy eating lifestyle, especially those living in the Gulf. Their rotisserie chicken, for example, is a healthier alternative and less fattening compared to your regular fried chicken.
The restaurant is known for their rotisserie-roasted chicken and varieties of cold and hot side dishes. They are also serving pastas and soups that complete the dining experience. Tropical Island soup is a must-try. And let’s not forget taking home a dozen or two of their homemade muffins.
Choose from golden vanilla, chocolate raisin and cinnamon raisins. For the sweet tooth, indulge yourself in their best-selling muffin submarine; imagine… all your favorite muffins topped with an ice cream of your choice. Yum! International Kenny Rogers Roasters was founded by Kenny Rogers and John Y. Brown Jr.
They opened their first restaurant in Coral Springs, Florida in August 1991. Over the years, they have grown to over 350 restaurants in several locations in Canada, Asia and now in the Middle East. Kenny Rogers Roaster is located in Al Karama; two branches are geared to open by the end of the year in Sahara Mall, Sharjah and Business Bay Dubai. Hungry? Dial healthy at 04 354 8303.
