THE MATAR STORY

It started in 1988.

Four chapters from the counter in Dekwaneh to the suites in Bauchrieh.

1988 / MATAR CHICKEN

A fresh start in Dekwaneh.

We began by selling fresh chicken in Dekwaneh. Rotisserie and charcoal followed, and the sauce served with our charcoal chicken became part of what neighbours came back for.

03 / OUR FLAGSHIP

Matar Chicken

A Dekwaneh tradition since 1988.

We opened with a fresh chicken counter in Dekwaneh. Rotisserie came next, followed by charcoal chicken and the sauce our neighbours know us for. Matar Chicken remains the crown jewel of Matar Group.
