It's apparently short for "Quick Bites" so I guess it would sound the way no one would expect it to -- "Koo eh bye"

Kind of sounds when pronounced in Portuguese like Kibbeh (https://www.oliviascuisine.com/kibbeh-lebanese-beef-croquett...), Lebanese "beef croquettes" (I never was a big fan). Usually spelled "kibe" in Portuguese. It seems to fall into the "Quick Bites" category.
