  • Kapil Sharma to open Kap's Cafe in Dubai on December 31, 2025
  • The cafe features a pastel, Instagram-friendly interior inspired by his TV show
  • Kap's Cafe Dubai offers a relaxed New Year's Eve, open 4 pm to midnight.

Indian television’s most recognisable comic Kapil Sharma is set to ring in the New Year with a new international venture. The comedian has announced that his themed eatery, Kap’s Cafe, will open its doors in Dubai on December 31, 2025, marking the brand’s first foray into the Middle East.

Sharma, who currently hosts the popular Netflix series The Kapil Sharma Show, shared the announcement on Instagram through a short, slick video. The clip opens with sweeping shots of the Dubai skyline before zooming into the cafe’s entrance. Inside, Sharma is seen smiling warmly as he welcomes a customer and serves a cup of coffee, setting the tone for what he describes as a friendly, relaxed hangout.

Kap’s Cafe is inspired by the familiar visual language of The Kapil Sharma Show set. Photos shared online show a pastel-heavy interior palette with soft greens and light pinks, designed to feel cosy, welcoming and distinctly Instagram-friendly. The Dubai outlet closely mirrors the look and feel of the cafe’s existing branch in Surrey, Canada, which was the brand’s first international location.

According to details shared by the team, Kap’s Cafe Dubai will be open on December 31 from 4 pm to midnight, positioning itself as a relaxed New Year’s Eve spot rather than a loud party venue. While the official menu for the Dubai outlet has not yet been revealed, the Surrey branch offers a mix of Indian and Western comfort food. Dishes there range from vada pav and other desi snacks to pastas and cafe-style plates, along with an extensive selection of coffees, teas and matcha-based drinks.

The cafe’s journey, however, has not been without controversy. Earlier this year, the Surrey outlet made headlines after a shooting incident in which bullets were fired at the cafe’s glass facade, shattering a window. Indian police later arrested an Indian national, who had briefly worked in Dubai as a waiter, for allegedly planning the attack.

Despite that setback, the Dubai launch signals Sharma’s confidence in expanding Kap’s Cafe as a global lifestyle brand, blending comedy, comfort food and casual conversation under one roof.
