Kap’s Cafe lands in Dubai just in time for New Year’s Eve
Comedian and TV star Kapil Sharma is taking his on-screen charm offline with the launch of Kap’s Cafe in Dubai. The themed eatery — inspired by the set and vibe of his popular Netflix series — will open its doors to customers on December 31, 2025, giving fans a festive way to ring in the New Year with a dash of Kapil-style humour and warmth.
Instagram reveal and cafe vibe
Kapil announced the Dubai launch on Instagram with a short video that begins with the Dubai skyline and closes in on the cafe’s welcoming facade. In the clip he greets a customer with a cup of coffee, teasing the cosy, visually engaging décor that follows the design language of the Surrey, Canada, outlet.
The Dubai branch is expected to recreate the familiar atmosphere from the show: warm lighting, quirky set pieces and a space that feels like a real-life extension of Kapil’s entertainment world. It’s a concept aimed at fans who want to step into the comedian’s universe and casual diners looking for a comfortable spot to eat and unwind.
Opening day details and menu hints
Kap’s Cafe will operate from 4 pm to 12 am on opening day. While the full menu for the Dubai location has not been revealed, the Canadian branch offers a good indication of what to expect. The Surrey menu mixes Indian comfort food and Western favourites — think vada pav, pasta, and a selection of coffees, teas and matchas — suggesting a diverse culinary experience that caters to both desi tastes and international palates.
- Opening hours (Dec 31, 2025): 4 pm – 12 am
- Menu hints: Indian street-style bites alongside pasta and specialty beverages
- Ambience: Cozy, set-inspired décor similar to the Canadian outlet
From television sets to cafe counters: Kapil’s growing brand
Kapil Sharma has steadily built an entertainment empire, moving beyond stand-up and TV to digital content and now hospitality. Kap’s Cafe is the latest example of this expansion, blending his reputation for hospitality and humour with a real-world space fans can visit. The Dubai launch marks an important international push for the brand and offers a fresh way for audiences to connect with his work off-screen.
Streaming success gives the cafe a boost
Kapil’s digital presence is strong. The fourth season of The Great Indian Kapil Show recently recorded 2.3 million views in its first two weeks and ranked second among the Top 5 most-watched non-fiction shows on Netflix India. The season’s initial episodes featured Priyanka Chopra Jonas and the Indian Women’s Cricket Team, proving the show’s pull and likely helping fuel excitement for the cafe’s opening.
What this means for fans and foodies
Fans visiting Dubai over New Year’s Eve now have a new spot to add to their plans. Whether you’re there for the Kapil Sharma connection or curious about a themed dining experience, Kap’s Cafe promises a mix of entertainment nostalgia and casual dining. Expect photo opportunities, signature beverages, and, depending on the Dubai menu reveal, a blend of familiar Indian flavours and global dishes.
As Kapil extends his footprint from television to international hospitality, Kap’s Cafe Dubai will be an interesting test of how well show-inspired spaces translate across cultures. For now, the countdown is on — and the cafe’s New Year’s Eve debut is likely to draw a crowd of fans eager to experience a little bit of Kapil’s world in the heart of Dubai.
