Dubai: Leading UAE-based food services company, Hotbrands International (HBI)has opened three quick service restaurants in new locations in the GCC, as part of its on-going expansion aimed at further consolidating its wide footprint in the region.

We are proud to be showcasing the newly designed Magic Wok in the Mall of the Emirates, as well as Dubai Airport Freezone and the introduction of Shamiana to their newly launched food court, is yet another great achievement for us."
