Amber Haque is trying to strike a work: life balance amid running two Italian restaurants in Dubai. Amber Haque is the co-owner of the Pizza Guys and the recently opened Italian “soul food” restaurant Pi. Dubai.
Born in Dubai of Pakistani heritage, the Canadian citizen, 36, has lived in the UAE on and off since birth. She runs the two restaurants with her husband Rami Badawi, 36.
While Pi. Dubai opened in Dubai Mall last month, Pizza Guys in Business Bay opened in 2013.
Amber Haque was born in Dubai to a family of diplomats, met her husband Rami while studying at the American Community School of Abu Dhabi.
On a typical day at work, the husband and wife duo starts with the front-of-house staff line-up, to check that uniforms adhere to the dress code, have a debriefing of the day before and go through any specials for the day, with the chef explaining the ingredients and any allergens. The assistant manager then gives them an update on the day so far.
