As of 2015, there were 15 restaurants in the chain in a number of UAE locations, mainly around Abu Dhabi. [2] However, as of 2021, no functional restaurants are to be seen in Abu Dhabi, or any other emirate. It is not known whether this is related to the financial scandals which engulfed BR Shetty in 2020. There were also restaurants in Dubai and Sharjah.
