It is a culmination of the team efforts of all the employees of Al Adil group. We have recently opened our Al Adil’s 41st super store in Lynx towers at Dubai Silicon Oasis, a modern and prestigious free trade zone with state-of-the-art facilities. The inauguration of the new facility took place at the hands of famous Bollywood actress and playback singer Parineeti Chopra in the presence of Maiyadah Tawfeeq Ramadan, Associate Manager at Dubai Silicon Oasis Authority. I attended the function with my wife Vandana and sons Hrishikesh and Rohit. A huge crowd was present at the venue to boost our spirit. The stunning and youthful Parineeti mesmerised everyone and made the event a memorable one.”

We wish that our customers will get all the health benefits from this new product.”
