Vapiano, the Italian restaurant brand, has opened at a new location, at City Centre Al Zahia in Sharjah. This marks its entry into the emirate, where the brand hopes to find traction with the ‘hyper-customizable’ menus.

The 290 square meters of internal seating comes alongside a 122 square meter outdoor terrace that can accommodate up to 118 guests. The signature olive tree sits in the center of the restaurant, while the walls feature hand-drawn murals by the Swedish artist Matilde Petterson.

Al Ahlia General Trading now has six restaurants in the UAE.
