Sushi's flagship stores. The unique concept appealed to him and soon YO! Sushi became the first of its kind to open in the Middle East region under the Gourmet Gulf company flag. This marked the beginning of a new journey, bringing unique, dynamic, unexpected food and dining experience to the region. As well as YO! Sushi, our Brands include California Pizza Kitchen, Texas De Brazil, Hummingbird Bakery, Panda Express and Azkadenya. At Gourmet Gulf we target a diverse guest base, covering a wide range of dining experiences and tastes. In an ever-expanding portfolio, we currently have presence in the United Arab Emirates, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Qatar, with further expansion planned, to encompass all of the MENA region.
