Phat Buns Now Open in Sharjah, Bringing Bold Flavours and Customisable Burgers by Rave Staff 18 Jul 2025 Phat Buns, the UK’s cult-favourite burger brand known for unapologetically bold flavours and visually striking creations, has officially launched in Sharjah, marking its exciting entry into the UAE market. Since its inception in Leicester in 2019, Phat Buns has rapidly gained street food acclaim for its innovative approach to burger craftsmanship, combining flavour innovation with precise engineering. The brand’s co-founder, Ahtesham Moosa, an aerospace engineer by profession, applies meticulous detail to every element of the burger experience. “With endless combinations, no two visits need to be the same,” Moosa says, highlighting the brand’s signature Build-a-Burger concept that empowers diners to personalise every aspect of their meal. Whether it’s a double smash patty stacked with crispy halloumi and a drizzle of the iconic PHAT sauce, or a spicy chicken burger layered with jalapeños on a buttery pretzel bun, each burger is tailored to individual tastes. Phat Buns’ menu features well-loved staples such as the PHAT Classic, a 4oz Aberdeen Angus smashed beef patty topped with melted cheddar cheese, alongside innovative dishes like fried chicken loaded fries with grilled mushrooms and halloumi, and the legendary 12-hour smoked pulled rib sandwich infused with BBQ flavours. While the Sharjah menu is thoughtfully adapted to suit local preferences, it retains the brand’s signature vibrancy and energy. The restaurant itself is designed to reflect street food culture with bold neon lighting and a vivid colour palette, creating an atmosphere as dynamic and inviting as the food. This eye-catching interior not only enhances the dining experience but also makes it perfect for social media sharing, echoing the brand’s viral appeal. Phat Buns’ expansion into Sharjah signifies a new phase in the brand’s international growth, moving beyond its UK roots to establish a notable presence in the UAE. It challenges the fast food paradigm by proving that quick-service dining can be both fun and refined. With the precision of a “rocket scientist” behind the kitchen, Phat Buns promises to make a lasting impact on Sharjah’s competitive burger scene.

In partnership with Janah International, the investment firm sets a new benchmark in private island sophistication with its debut Maldivian resort Agon Capital Unveils Glamorous Villivaru Island Resort - A Bold Foray into the Maldives’ Ultra-Luxury Landscape In partnership with Janah International, the investment firm sets a new benchmark in private island sophistication with its debut Maldivian resort by Rave Staff 26 May 2025 Agon Capital, the dynamic investment firm behind some of the region’s most exciting lifestyle ventures, has announced its most ambitious hospitality project yet: the development of the Villivaru Island Resort in the Maldives, a breathtaking, design-led escape set to redefine barefoot luxury in the Indian Ocean. In collaboration with Janah International Holding (JIH), Agon Capital has formed Villivaru Holdings to develop this visionary new private island resort. Located just 30 minutes by speedboat from Malé’s Velana International Airport, Villivaru will offer an intimate collection of 61 villas and 11 private island estates, fusing bold architecture with ecological harmony. Set within the jewel-like waters of the North Malé Atoll, the resort is a private sanctuary framed by powder-white sand beaches and vibrant coral reefs. It offers exceptional privacy, refined elegance, and curated experiences for the most discerning travellers. “Villivaru is more than a destination, it’s a legacy in the making,” said Ryan Hattigh, CEO of Agon Capital . “Our vision is to craft places that transcend trend, to shape iconic retreats that inspire, endure, and elevate the very concept of hospitality. With Villivaru, we are not simply building a resort; we are creating a living, breathing experience where architecture, nature, and service converge in perfect harmony. This project embodies everything Agon Capital stands for: a bold design ethos, an unwavering commitment to excellence, and a belief in hospitality as a force for emotional and cultural connection .” The project builds on the proven expertise of Agon Capital’s Hospitality division, which operates standout UAE venues such as Gitano, BCH:CLB, and The Coterie, and is known for delivering exceptional service and innovative experiences. This vision is further reflected in strategic partnerships like Agon’s investment with H&H in Eden House - a premium hospitality-led residential project that underscores the brand’s commitment to design, service, and lifestyle excellence. These ventures highlight Agon’s ability to execute at the highest level, ensuring Villivaru exceeds expectations on a global stage. From its spectacular overwater villas and beachfront retreats to a lavish Four-Bedroom Owner’s Residence, every accommodation is a symphony of privacy, design excellence, and sensory immersion. The resort’s 11 branded residences, each with their own private arrival pavilion, spa, and sunset bar, blur the line between home and haute hospitality. Adding to the island’s allure are ten exquisite dining venues, including four signature restaurants and two world-renowned culinary brands. Whether dining under the stars at an open-fire grill, or indulging in modern Maldivian fare at an overwater fine dining venue, every bite is curated for connoisseurs. Speaking on behalf of the joint venture, Mr Mohamed Ali Janah, Chairman of Janah International Holding, commented, “Villivaru Island Resort is more than a hospitality project, it’s a rare canvas for creating the Maldives’ next flagship experience. This partnership draws on global investment strength and generations of Maldivian know-how.” Poised to open in early 2027, Villivaru Island Resort symbolizes Agon Capital’s confident entry into one of the world’s most desirable, and competitive, luxury markets. As the Maldives embraces global investment and infrastructure evolution, this bold venture positions Agon as a leading voice in next-generation hospitality.
