KFC

The first KFC restaurant opened its doors back in 1983 opposite the filling station in Curepipe not far from the Sainte-Thérèse Church. Everyone going through Curepipe would have to drive past KFC and were led by their noses into the restaurant to enjoy great tasting food amongst friends and family. Back then, the menu was made up of a Dinner Box, a Lunch Box, Chicken Pieces and Chips. The Rounder was only launched a couple of years later with the Zinger following in the 90’s. 

Affordable American style cuisine had finally arrived in Mauritius and it was an instant favourite!
