Mine was probably the KFC in Larkana, Sindh, Pakistan (the closest city to Mohenjodaro).

Most of Dubai seems like someone had an idea and they just rolled with it rather than do some research (or maybe it was just franchising fees/licenses). I imagine the conversation went like...

"Hey, what do people in America eat?"

"I was there on a business trip and remember seeing commercials for things called 'Red Lobster' and 'Ponderosa'. Perhaps we should put together a research grou--"

"Nah, build six of them and we'll see what happens."

Love that for them. May Cheddar Biscuits and Pondo Combos never die.
