Whether welcoming you at the counter or preparing your meal in our kitchen, RFC team members put care into every step of your experience. From the first order to the last bite, we aim to make every visit feel warm, familiar, and worth sharing with the people you love.
Eating at home should feel easy, not compromised. That’s why every RFC meal is prepared with care, from freshly seasoned fried chicken to burgers and sandwiches made to travel well. We focus on quality, consistency, and portions that stay satisfying even after the ride home. Because great food shouldn’t lose its warmth just because you’re eating it at your own table.
The RFC story began with a shared passion among five friends. Each brought something different to the table, from culinary expertise to business insight. Together, they shared one clear vision. Build a fried chicken brand rooted in Omani heritage, made with care, and served with pride.
Founded in Oman in 2016, RFC, Royal Food Court, started as a humble outlet with big intent. The goal was simple. Redefine the fried chicken experience using time-honored family recipes, consistent quality, and a touch of royal flair. What followed was steady growth built on trust, flavor, and community.
Over the years, RFC has grown into more than a fast-casual restaurant. It has become a place families return to, meals are shared, and memories are made. From our first kitchen to serving over 3 million delighted customers, the journey reflects a relentless focus on taste, warmth, and doing things the right way.
Today, RFC proudly operates 8 thriving locations across Oman. And this is just the beginning. By 2026, we aim to expand across the GCC, carrying our signature flavors and welcoming hospitality to chicken lovers throughout the region.
What started with five friends is now a growing family. And every meal continues that story.
RFC’s mission is twofold: to elevate chicken from a simple ingredient to a celebrated culinary centerpiece, and to expand our passion for fried chicken across the globe. Our vision is to foster a “Chickenomics” movement – a vibrant ecosystem where our restaurants serve as community hubs, fueled by the shared love of great food and warm hospitality.
Every decision starts here. From menu choices to seating layouts, RFC is designed for families to feel comfortable and cared for.
Fresh ingredients. Clear processes. No shortcuts. Our kitchens follow strict standards so every bite tastes the way it should.
We don’t chase food fads. We focus on flavors people come back for. Food that works for all ages.
