Planet Hollywood opening in Kuwait

I found out today that Planet Hollywood will be opening in the basement of the Olympia towers in Salmiya at the end of summer. The only good thing that might come out of this is if Sylvester Stallone comes for the opening and I stalk him until he agrees to take a picture with me.

Update: Turns out The Noodle House is also opening in Olympia in June.

    Waii….sha5bari Planet Hollywood. Bs no one knows it exists anymore… Everyone grew out of the Planet Hollywood fever.

  10. Hasan.B says:

    Why would someone open a restaurant in the basement?

  11. GeordieLass says:

    :O exactly!

  12. Mark says:

    its the basement of a mall… its common for food courts or restaurants to be placed in the basement.

    Basement does not equal dungeon

  13. Moey says:

    I hated it in Amman, it went out of business and I know the person who bought the terminator 2 statue, it was wow. I have pics of it somewhere

  14. AndyQ8 says:

    Er, don’t hold your breath on this one… ;)

  15. azizbrown says:

    another hard rock cafe fail?

  16. Senorita says:

    “its common for food courts or restaurants to be placed in the basement”

    I dont mind food courts in basements…. but that is not always the case! True, it does not mean dungeon… but its also not “common”… specially not in the US!

  17. Rashisha says:

    Ugh!!!! WHYYYYYY??? When are we gonna start Getting the Good Places….

    We Need Fogo de Chão in Kuwiat!!!!

  18. Realist says:

    Mmmm so who is dumb idiot that thought it is still successfull ? Even a Hard Rock at the sea didn’t make it successfull. Food sucks and the atmosphere spells cheesiness all over. Now a noodle house is something I would go for.

  19. TweeZ says:

    I hope they get the terminator!

  20. zaydoun says:

    Yet another tired and crappy franchise way past it’s expiry date. Planet Hollywood’s 15 minutes of fame ended sometime in the mid 1990s

    And no you won’t get any celebs at the opening because they all cashed out and escaped the embarrassment when they could!

  21. i loveeeeeeeeee planet hollywoods veg burgerrrrrr

  22. Abdulrahman says:

    Noodle House is one of my favorite restaurants!!!!

  23. Rye says:

    The Planet Hollywood in Paris is located in a basement.

  24. Let’s just hope the food doesn’t taste like Hard Rock Cafe…………. *vomits in bag*

  25. Khaled says:

    when hollywood opened here (in Riyadh) no “actor” attended the opening :/

  26. Holla says:

  27. DaLLy says:

  28. Areej says:

    Didn’t this restaurant go bankrupt ages ago?!! What’s the deal??

  29. HKR says:

    keep up the good news ;D

  30. rad-dude81 says:

    Tried the one in London and it was horrid. I second Zaydoun, Planet Hollywood is way past its prime.

  31. David/ BBQ Lover says:

    Has anyone else besides us ever noticed the bad bod odor smell in Hard Rock?!

  32. Fwz247 says:

    Planet Hollywood is SUCK actually no 1′s goes 2 this resturant 4 like years ago so why now nd in Kuwait!! cuz it’s very strange!! Nd I don’t think so it will be very famous in Kuwait

  33. Sarah says:

  38. The Insider says:

    Noodle House will have 3 branches in Kuwait so far….first one next to Jonny Carinos, then Olympia and then Messila Hotel
    Planet Hollywood is in Olympia – basement….Stallone and Bruce Willis coming to open it
    Olympia is going to be fantastic….some very good shops

  39. [...] I previously posted about how Planet Hollywood was going to open at Olympia Towers this past summer but they never did. But, today a reader sent me a picture of the place from the outside and saying they will be opening in March 2010. I also previously mentioned that I had heard Sylvester Stallone is coming for the launch and I will say this again. If he comes I am going to be there with my copy of the Cobra DVD for him to autograph. I will not let him leave Kuwait before he does! [...]
