The OddEATS Story
OddEATS is a new kind of food company — one that ditches the industrial shortcuts and does things the real way. We create brick-and-mortar restaurants and cloud kitchen brands built around one idea: better food, for people who care.
From the eggs in your ramen to the meat in your burger, everything is chosen with purpose. No seed oils. No weird additives. Just curated, clean meals for professionals who want flavour without compromise.
Focused on ethically sourced, local where possible, sustainable practice. For us, better food isn’t just about ingredients — it’s about impact. OddEATS is committed to changing the way people engage with casual dining by building a brand where taste, transparency, and responsibility go hand in hand. As part of this commitment, we have adopted the United Nations Global Compact, committing to their 10 Principles that govern fundamental issues on Human Rights, Labour, Environment, and Anti-Corruption.
We also aim to accelerate the implementation of sustainable practices and embed the 17 principles of the UN Sustainable Development goals within the operations of our company.
About Us
OddEATS is the master curator. Every sub-brand is created to stand alone, with its vibe, menu, and identity, but when you see it through OddEATS, you know what it stands for.
We create, evolve, and reimagine concepts across ramen, wraps, burgers, salads, and a growing range of global cuisines. Our goal is to make cuisines easy to access and enhance the experience by honing in on sourcing quality ingredients that improve the quality of the dishes we prepare.
Why It's Working
The new consumer is informed. Conscious. Craving trust.
OddEATS sits at the intersection of what the market wants and what traditional food brands won’t deliver.
UAE Market
72% of working UAE professionals order food delivery 2–4 times per week.
Quality Over Cost
83% of UAE say they’re willing to pay more for food that’s healthier and transparently sourced.
Clean is Winning
Clean-label food brands are growing 5x faster than conventional QSRs.
Local Loyalty Leads
Local-first digital food brands are seeing higher retention than global apps in premium areas.
Our Team
OddEATS was built by a small team of brand-makers, food obsessives, and system thinkers who were tired of the same food. We’re not just launching restaurants; we’re rewriting the rulebook on what real food looks like in a fast-paced world.
From design to delivery, every part of this platform has been shaped by people who believe food should be honest, craveable, and a little rebellious. We’re here to build brands that stand for something and scale without selling out.
