Cinnabon Dolmen Mall Clifton Review by Farah S Kamal
It is not uncommon to drool over the whiff of cinnamon mixed aroma of
hot buttery Cinnabons, as one strolls in the Malls or rush to catch trains at
Subways around US. This American chain, famous as a brand that operates in
malls has been an straight hit with Karachiites since it is opened in Dolmen
Mall-Clifton earlier this year. Many witnessed the non ending lines and
hundreds of people outside the Cinnabon kiosk.

Talking at a bloggers meet to Yasir Khawaja, the very friendly and
pleasant owner of this franchise shared his passion to bring something
different to Pakistani food scene as his starting point to venture into
bringing Cinnabon in Lahore two years back as a bakery café. Now a Cinnabon in
Clifton and another one inaugurated in Atrium Mall on 11th April.
Educated in US, with business experience in Dubai , UK and South Africa, Yasir
is very particular about maintaining quality, he provided extensive training of
each of his staff to roll, bake, manage and serve at these Cinnabon
kiosks..jpg)

Rich and Greg Komen’s mission was to pioneer the “world’s best cinnamon
roll.” To accomplish this, they hired a local food connoisseur, Jerilyn
Brusseau. After many months, hundreds of kitchen experiments, and numerous
trips to Indonesia to find the best, most flavorful most
flavorful cinnamon. After perfecting their Cinnabon recipe, they opened the first Cinnabon
bakery on Dec. 4, 1985 at Sea Tac Mall in Seattle, WA. Yassir Khawaja with
the same passion and vision of providing the best cinnamon rolls to us here in
Pakistan opened these Cinnabon kisoks and plans on opening them in almost every
mall around Pakistan. To provide this world class desert, and to bring the same
taste, he imports all the ingredients from US and or Dubai. The staff are all
trained from the Cinnabon experts from USA and constantly strive to maintain
the taste and texture as per international Cinnabon standards. Zara
the brand manager showed us around and served these mouth watering treats with
a delcious huge tumbler of Latte’, the ideal companion to an aromatic, sweet
and nutty frost topped cinnamon roll and cinnamon sticks. There is a full range
of Latte, Cuppacino and Coffee on the menu, the size of their hot beverages are
larger then most café and fast food outlets. The kiosk style outlet offers the
full range of Cinnabon delicacies ranging from their gooey Cinnamon rolls to
their refreshing and ultra delicious Chillatas. With their second outlet in
Karachi, Cinnabon Pakistan is strengthening its presence in Karachi – a city
which embraced Cinnabon with open arms, long lines and a hefty appetite for the
Cinnamon rolls.

and Latte to complete the excitement and round off a great day.
