As the humidity rises, the heat intensifies and thoughts turn to lighter eating and summer holiday prep, Kcal, the UAE’s original and best-loved health and diet-focused restaurant and meal delivery service has launched an exciting “A Taste of Tradition” menu.

Making it easy to make the right choice, the limited-edition menu sees classic Middle Eastern dishes reinvented the Kcal way: think nutritionist-approved, fantastic-tasting, convenient, nutritionally balanced and made with natural ingredients.

Those that try the new menu will not only be able to enjoy delicious, regionally-inspired dishes without sacrificing on health, but can also avail a fantastic offer. Priced at just AED 69, Kcal’s combo meal deal includes a choice of soup, salad, main course and dessert, all of which are prepared from scratch using fresh, high-quality ingredients that not only taste great but deliver significant nutritional benefits too.

To begin, soup choices include a protein-packed carrot, coriander and chicken option, a wholesome, spiced lentil soup that has all the hallmark of favourite harira but is vegan and low in calories and fat content, and a full-flavoured, high-fibre beef and quinoa broth. After

that, light and bright freshly tossed salads – think gleaming, herb-flecked tabbouleh with quinoa and crunchy, colourful fattoush with citrussy baked sumac crisps – keep the healthy vibes coming.

Mouth-watering main courses such as tender chicken served with vibrant mulukhiyah, vermicelli rice and a zippy, zesty onion and vinegar onion sauce, a fragrant, vegetable-packed brown rice biryani finished with golden roasted cashew nuts, raisins, fresh coriander and onions and beef ouzi featuring beautifully marinated meat, spiced rice and green peas are all intended to satisfy cravings for homecooked meals and classic comfort dishes without adding unnecessary calories.

Dessert lovers certainly won’t be disappointed thanks to an array of choices that taste properly indulgent but rather than sending sugar levels soaring, actually do you good (grain-free tahini brownies, fudgy fig and date cookie bars and salted tahini caramel bars included).

Whether diners are looking to boost energy levels, eat well the low-effort fuss-free way, satisfy cravings for hearty Middle Eastern favourites while managing their weight, establish new foodie

traditions that all the family can enjoy or simply try something different, Kcal’s brilliantly priced “A Taste of Tradition” menu allows them to do so in delicious, highly convenient style.
