Overview

Kcal is a Dubai-founded healthy fast-casual dining brand established in 2010 by co-founders Andreas Borgmann and Mark Carroll, offering dine-in/delivery restaurants, corporate meal plans, and meal-prep/subscription services built around nutritious, preservative-free food. Starting with a single UAE outlet, it grew into a multi-brand F&B group (Kcal Restaurants, Kcal Meal Plans, Fuel-Up, Kcal Extra) with locations across Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah. The company has franchised/expanded into other MENA markets over the years, including an announced Egypt entry (2014-15) and, more recently, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and a 2025 Riyadh launch, partly via cloud-kitchen partnerships such as KitchenPark.

Official Channels

Where Kcal publishes directly. Each link is checked for the correct platform and profile format.

A tick means the link resolves to a valid company profile URL on that platform. It does not confirm the account is operated by Kcal — that requires a signal only the platform or the company can give, so DXBi does not claim it.

Press & Announcements

Every item links back to its original source. Announcements are only marked as coming from Kcal when the link resolves to the company's own domain.
