Kapil Sharma Opens ‘Kap’s Cafe’ in Dubai for New Year’s Eve 2025 Launch
Bollywood comedy superstar Kapil Sharma is entering the Middle Eastern market with the launch of his Kap’s Cafe in Dubai, set to open its doors on New Year’s Eve, December 31, 2025. This marks the brand’s second international location following its debut in Surrey, Canada, and expands Sharma’s entrepreneurial venture into Dubai's vibrant dining scene.
The cafe aims to translate the comedian’s signature warmth and humor into a community-centric dining experience, offering fans and visitors a relaxed space inspired by the aesthetic of The Kapil Sharma Show.
A Dubai Debut with Signature Style
Announced via a vibrant Instagram reel, the launch video showcased Dubai’s skyline before highlighting the cafe’s inviting facade. The design mirrors the successful Surrey outlet, featuring soft pastel greens and pinks, Instagram-friendly décor, and relaxed seating to create a comfortable, visually engaging ambiance.
Slated to open from 4 PM to midnight on December 31, the cafe is positioning itself as a chilled New Year’s Eve alternative—a comfortable spot to usher in 2026 without the typical party hustle.
Menu and Ambiance
While the Dubai-specific menu is yet to be fully revealed, expectations are based on the Surrey location’s offering, which blends Indian and Western comfort foods. Patrons can anticipate a range from vada pav and desi snacks to pastas and classic cafe dishes, complemented by a wide selection of coffees, teas, and matcha beverages.
Brand Expansion and Strategic Growth
The Dubai opening underscores Sharma’s strategy to grow Kap’s Cafe into a global lifestyle brand. By choosing Dubai—a hub for international visitors, expatriates, and trendsetting dining—Sharma taps into a market that values celebrity-driven concepts and unique experiential venues.
Overcoming Challenges with Resilience
The brand has demonstrated resilience following a challenging incident in 2025, when the Surrey cafe’s facade was damaged in a shooting. No injuries were reported, and the cafe has since reopened. Sharma’s team affirmed their commitment to their mission of community and joy, a sentiment echoed as they expand to Dubai.
