Both the Dolmen Mall and Z Block outlets will carry a menu that will feature all-American favourite dishes including made-to-order burgers, American fries, sandwiches and hand-spun shakes.

With a floor space of 3,135ft², the restaurant at Dolmen Mall is located near the sea, offering guests with sea views from the restaurant.

Hamdan International CEO Monavar K Ahmad said the restaurant is known for its casual ambiance, upbeat music and passion for guest engagement, which should be very well-received by their family-focused culture.

"There’s really nothing quite like Johnny Rockets here in Pakistan, and local residents and area visitors should warmly embrace what makes it so special," Ahmad added.
