Welcome to our company

Hill City Group is a diversified enterprise with a notable presence across Dubai's food and retail sectors.

The group specialises in authentic Indian, South Indian, Indo-Chinese and seafood dishes through its restaurants, while also operating a chain of grocery stores across the city.

Founded by Soopy bin Abdulla, the group is rooted in dedication, quality and community service, reflecting his journey from humble beginnings to a thriving business.

Our story

The journey of Soopy bin Abdulla

The group's story began in 1978, when its founder arrived in Dubai. Starting from the ground up, Soopy worked in a local canteen for nearly a decade, gaining invaluable insights into the food industry and the art of customer service.

In the late 1980s he seized an opportunity to open his own canteen at the Al Khazzan Water Tank Project in Satwa. His determination allowed the venture to succeed, paving the way for further growth.

In 1991 he launched his first grocery, Wadi Baraka Grocery in Al Quoz, which quickly earned a reputation for quality and service. That success led him into foodservice in 1998 with his first cafeteria.

Today the group is a testament to Soopy's resilience and dedication. What began as a single canteen has evolved into a multifaceted enterprise serving thousands across Dubai.
