our story
It is a story where passion, skill and creativity come together to create an extraordinary culinary experience. The delicious and distinctive mixture of Al-Abdullah chicken did not start from the small restaurant that Mr. Youssef Al-Abdullah (Abu Hussein) opened in 1999, which specialized in grilling chickens on charcoal, but rather from the moment when Abu Hussein planned to create the taste of an innovative, delicious, unprecedented and revolutionary sauce. Because a good meal attracts family and friends to share it together, the modest shop could no longer accommodate the number of visitors, so the restaurant moved to a larger and more spacious place in the year 2004.
Since we do not regard success as an end point, but rather a journey, after opening the second branch in 2013, the branches continued to open until they reached 11 branches in Lebanon in 2023. Considering that it is our duty to revive the Lebanese cuisine and contribute to the glowing of its distinctive flavors internationally, in the year 2021 we began our international expansion, as we currently have 3 branches in the United Arab Emirates, two branches in Iraq. In Addition to the mentioned branches, we are currently in the process of establishing branches in Qatar and other countries around the world.
As leadership and enhancing sustainability are our goals, it was necessary to institutionalize the Abdullah Restaurants Company in an elaborate manner, and accordingly, a kitchen, a warehouse, and a central slaughterhouse were established in the year 2016, and in parallel, in the same year, we obtained international quality certificates: ISO 9001:2015 for managing Quality and ISO 22000:2018 for managing Food Safety;
As crucial as delicious and consistent taste is to us, the company took the decision to expand horizontally in the year 2017, when it purchased a chicken farm and then its own slaughterhouse. Thus, allowing the company to guarantee quality and excellence on all production lines from the beginning of hatching process until the final product is presented to the customer.
