Subway® UAE teams up with Excellence Hot Sauce to serve up UAE's nostalgic flavors in every bite

The lineup features three bold creations: Fresh & Furious, with crispy chicken bites, Excellence Hot Sauce, and crunchy Chips; Wahed Sub Laham, combining tender beef Philly steak, melted cheddar, Excellence Hot Sauce, Chips, fresh vegetables, and ranch dressing; and the side dish, Fery Good, Fery Nice (Dynamite Chicken), starring crispy Dynamite Chicken bites enhanced with Excellence Hot Sauce and Chips.

"The beauty of this campaign lies in its ability to take something deeply rooted in local culture and give it a fresh, contemporary perspective," said Ibrahim Hasan, Regional Head of McCann Content Studios – MENA. "Subway® UAE proves that with the right approach, global brands can tell local stories with authenticity and impact."

Celebrating the launch, a multisensory event was hosted in collaboration with Karak Nights, an initiative known for celebrating UAE narratives. The evening featured a lineup of artists, including Emirati sensation Alya Al Ali, alongside Noor the DJ, DJ Hind Fadel and DJ Ill Baz, all known for their genre-defying energy.

"This collaboration with Subway® UAE was a natural extension of what Karak Nights stands for—celebrating the narratives that define UAE's culture," shared Aaron Ferns, Co-Founder of Karak Nights. "We were proud to play a pivotal role in curating an event that not only honored cafeteria culture but also created a space where art, music, and heritage came together to resonate with the community."

The evening also featured the launch of a limited-edition merchandise collection designed by Waggish. Inspired by Dubai's Street vendor culture, the line included hoodies, and stickers that combined street-style aesthetics with Subway®'s playful branding.

As the global QSR restaurant created this local statement, Mahmoud Mneimne, Marketing Director for Subway® UAE said, "Our goal was to craft an experience that captures the soul of UAE cafeteria culture while offering a fresh and innovative take. "We're proud to have created something that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly new, reflecting the vibrant community we serve."

The limited-edition menu is available across Subway® UAE outlets.
