ABOUT KCAL
Pronounced kay-cal. We are an innovative food company making a sustainable, healthy lifestyle possible, without compromising on taste or convenience.
We are chefs, nutritionists, food experts, gym goers, latte drinkers, dessert eaters, life lovers; we offer wheat free, dairy free, meat free, sugar free, but never taste free.
Offering a menu that boasts a selection of dishes which are calorie controlled and inspired by our multicultural hometown, Dubai, our mission is simple: to make the world a better place through wholesome, tasty food and outstanding service. We cook with passion and your health in mind and we never compromise.
In 2010, Mark Carroll and Andreas L Borgmann opened their first Kcal restaurant in Jumeirah Lakes Towers. They were, and still are, on a mission to prove that “healthy” is so much more than just the calorie count. It’s about getting up, getting moving, being positive and making lasting lifestyle changes.
Since then, our story has continued and we have been at the forefront of healthy eating in Dubai, forging the way for others who have followed. Our restaurant family has grown from one outlet in JLT to locations all over the UAE and beyond.
We don’t offer meal plans but our sister company Kcal Extra does. Find out more here.
