Careem launches budget-friendly ‘Meals:On' in Abu Dhabi
Dubai super app Careem announced the launch of 'Meals:On' in Abu Dhabi – a new food feature designed to simplify solo food orders and make high-quality meal deals more affordable for customers ordering alone.
Ordering a solo meal often feels expensive, with a lack of reasonably priced meal bundles.
'Meals:On' addresses this by offering a curated selection of complete, high-quality meal deals from top local and international restaurants, all priced under AED29.
Most meals include a main dish, side salad, and drink and can be found in a dedicated section on Careem Food for easy one-tap ordering, the company said.
Jaskaran Singh, VP of Careem Food, said the purpose is to simplify life in the region, and with this launch the company is doing just that for solo diners.
'Whether it's lunch during a busy workday or a quick dinner after hours, customers often feel overwhelmed by the choices and feel like they're paying too much for each meal. Meals:On eliminates that friction by making high-quality, affordable meals available with minimal effort,' he said.

Imad El Fay, VP of Growth at Kitopi, said the firm is excited to partner with Careem on the launch of 'Meals:On' to make it easier and more affordable for customers to enjoy great food, especially when ordering for one person.
Meals:On boasts a number of popular Abu Dhabi restaurants, including Wagamama, Wingstop, Just Burger, Zaatar w Zeit, Barbar, Papa Johns, Right Bite, Sushi Do, Costa and Allo Beirut.
Careem Plus members also enjoy free delivery on Meals:On orders, even if the order value is below AED30 – a benefit designed specifically for solo meal purchases, the company said.
The company's data indicates that over 64 per cent of Careem Food customers in the UAE typically order for one during lunch hours.
'Meals:On' is meant to cater to that majority, drawing inspiration from Munch:On, the solo-meal platform Careem acquired in 2022, the company said.

Huda Kattan Reclaims Sole Control of Huda Beauty
Arabian Post Staff -Dubai Huda Kattan has reacquired full ownership of Huda Beauty, the globally recognised cosmetics brand she founded in 2013, by buying back the minority stake held by US-based private equity firm TSG Consumer Partners. This move concludes an eight-year partnership initiated in 2017 when TSG acquired a minority interest to support the brand's expansion. With this transaction, Huda Beauty becomes one of the few major beauty brands entirely owned by its founder. Kattan, who serves as Founder and Co-CEO, will continue to lead the company alongside her husband, Christopher Goncalo, also Co-CEO, and her sister, Alya Kattan, who oversees social strategy. ADVERTISEMENT In a statement, Kattan expressed the significance of this milestone: 'Taking back full ownership of Huda Beauty is a deeply important moment for me. This brand was built on passion, creativity, and a desire to challenge the beauty industry.' She emphasised the brand's commitment to innovation and authenticity, stating, 'As we step into this new chapter, I'm more committed than ever to pushing boundaries, staying true to our roots, and showing up for our incredible community every step of the way.' Founded in Dubai with a $6,000 loan from her sister, Huda Beauty gained initial acclaim with a line of false eyelashes that became a bestseller at Sephora in The Dubai Mall. The brand has since expanded its product range to include a variety of cosmetics and skincare items, earning a reputation for viral product launches and a strong digital presence. Its Instagram account boasts nearly 57 million followers, making it the most-followed beauty brand globally. The decision to repurchase the stake from TSG aligns with a broader trend of founder-led buybacks in the beauty industry, reflecting a desire for greater control over brand direction and values. Kattan's move underscores her commitment to maintaining the brand's original vision and fostering deeper engagement with its global community. Huda Beauty's philosophy, 'Beauty is Self-Made,' continues to resonate with a diverse audience, promoting inclusivity and challenging traditional beauty standards. Under Kattan's leadership, the company has phased out the use of Photoshop and filters on social media, advocating for realistic representations of beauty.

Huda Kattan reclaims full ownership of her namesake brand Huda Beauty
Huda Kattan has reclaimed complete ownership of her renowned namesake brand, Huda Beauty, after an eight-year partnership with TSG Consumer. Kattan's brand was initially founded in 2013, built after the success of her beauty blog and her reputation as a makeup artist, with a $6,000 (Dhs22,037) loan from her sister, Alya Kattan, starting with a range of viral eyelashes. From there, Huda Beauty has remained a household name in the beauty space, launching products that blend artistry and innovation, such as the bestselling Easy Bake Loose Baking and Setting Powder and #FAUXFILTER Color Corrector, which has truly changed the game and launched a beauty movement rooted in self-expression, empowerment, and authenticity. View this post on Instagram A post shared by HUDA BEAUTY (@hudabeauty) Prior to regaining full ownership, TSG Consumer acquired a minority stake of the company in 2017. Now, in 2025, Huda Kattan, founder and Co-CEO of Huda Beauty, has officially bought back her equity. With this move, Huda Beauty is now a fully independent business and marks a powerful new chapter for the brand. The decision to reclaim full ownership allows Huda Kattan, now at the helm as the sole owner, to have complete control over her brand's direction, future product launches, and a deeper community engagement along with her husband, Christopher Goncalo, who's serving alongside her as Co-CEO, and her sister, Alya Kattan, leading the social strategy. 'Taking back full ownership of Huda Beauty is a deeply very important moment for me,' said Huda Kattan. 'It says that while many of us dreamers have visions that we are told are too big or not possible to do alone, in actuality, you have all the power you need to change the world yourself! This brand was built on passion, creativity, and a desire to challenge the beauty industry. As we step into this new chapter, I'm more committed than ever to pushing boundaries, staying true to our roots, and showing up for our incredible community every step of the way.' – For more on luxury lifestyle, news, fashion and beauty follow Emirates Woman on Facebook and Instagram Images: Supplied
