Bringing Kickin’Inn’s Flavours from Australia to the World

We’re thrilled to share that Kickin’Inn is taking our signature Cajun-style seafood experience beyond Australian shores! 🌏🦐 Since our humble beginnings in 2018, we’ve grown to nearly 30 locations across Australia, becoming a much-loved destination for families and food lovers nationwide. With incredible community support and rapid national growth, we’re now gearing up to expand into New Zealand and Asia, bringing the Kickin’Inn experience to even more tables around the world.

Our Founders and the Heart of Kickin’Inn👨‍🍳❤️

Since day one, Ravi Singh and Sami Karras have pioneered Australia’s Cajun seafood-boil dining experience, creating our very own Kickin’ sauces – the heart of everything we do. Sami shares the story behind our signature sauce and what makes it truly one-of-a-kind, ‘we tasted a few cajun sauces and we didn’t like them… so we started making our own cajun sauce from scratch’. It’s this bold, flavour-packed approach that continues to set Kickin’Inn apart as we prepare for global expansion.

Family Culture and Community at Our Core👪🤝

Serving over 1 million customers annually and employing more than 500 team members, Kickin’Inn has grown into a brand where family-like culture and community involvement are central to our identity. As Ravi shares, ‘we have created a culture where all our employees feel they are part of a family’, these values drive our team and make Kickin’Inn a place people love to work and dine. 

What started in a humble kitchen has become a national favourite. As Veena Singh reflects, “Kickin’Inn is special as it was born in a family kitchen,” while Hala Karras adds, ‘I’m so proud of the boys and us for not giving up’. Their stories show how our family-first values continue to shape everything we do. These principles will remain at the heart of Kickin’Inn as we bring our experience to new international markets.

Giving Back to the Community 💛🌱

Beyond great food, Kickin’Inn is deeply committed to giving back to the community. Clare Pearson, CEO of Little Wings, highlights the impact of our partnership, saying, ‘Kickin’Inn has been a great partner for us in supporting country kids all across Australia in different ways.’Ravi adds, “It’s all about doing things from the heart, how can you add value to the community.” Supporting and uplifting the communities around us is as important as serving bold, flavour-packed meals.

Looking Ahead🚀✨

As we expand overseas, our focus remains the same: delivering memorable dining experiences, fostering a family-like culture, and making a positive impact in our communities. From humble beginnings in a small kitchen to becoming an Australian favourite, Kickin’Inn is proud to share our flavours and values with the world. 💛
