CupBop Is Now Delivering Bold Korean BBQ Flavours Across Dubai to Help Satisfy Your Craving
Since firing up its first UAE store at Ibn Battuta Mall earlier this month, CupBop has already ignited the appetite of Dubai diners with its bold flavours and street-style Korean eats. Launched under RMAL Hospitality, the opening marked a major milestone for the US-born brand, which rose to fame after a viral appearance on Shark Tank. Its Ibn Battuta location has already become a must-visit for fans of fun, fuss-free food, and now that same buzz can be delivered directly to your door.
The full menu is now available for delivery from 10 AM to 10:30 PM on weekdays and until 11:30 PM on weekends. Offering guests from Umm Suqeim to Dubai Investment Park the chance to order from the comfort of their home or office, CupBop is covering the southern half of the city with flavour-packed bowls, ready in just a few taps.
What makes CupBop so addictive? It's all about customisation. Every bowl is built to your taste, starting with a base of rice, noodles, or both, then loaded with your choice of protein, veggies, and a heat level from sweet and mild (#1) to extra fiery (#10). The protein options include beef bulgogi, crispy chicken katsu, or crunchy tofu, ensuring something for everyone, and each bowl is made to mix, match, and crave again.
Signature menu favourites include the juicy BBQ chicken in the KKO KKO BOP, crispy fried chicken in the spicy ROCK BOP, and savoury beef in the B-BOP. For something crunchier, the KRUNCH BOP delivers golden chicken katsu goodness, while vegetarians can tuck into the VEGGIE BOP or DOOCHI BOP, brimming with tofu, greens, and flavourful sauces. Add a side of kimchi, crispy mandoo dumplings, or wings to make it a meal to remember.
No meal is complete without a sweet treat to finish. Never forgetting dessert, CupBop also delivers its cult-favourite Korean ice creams, including the much-loved Samanco fish-shaped treat. All dishes are made fresh to order, fast to your door, and served with the same bold energy that's made CupBop a global sensation.
Elias Madbak, CEO of RMAL Hospitality, recently said of the latest addition to Dubai's bustling food scene, 'The response to CupBop's Dubai launch has been incredible, and we're thrilled to now bring that same bold, fresh, and fast experience straight to people's homes. Delivery is a natural next step in making CupBop even more accessible, and with multiple delivery partners now on board, we're excited to share our Korean BBQ-in-a-cup sensation with even more food lovers across the city.'
Skip the lines and order for delivery as CupBop is here to bring the flavour home.

JLo in Abu Dhabi: Everything you need to know before the big show
Get ready, Abu Dhabi, the queen of sparkle, sass and all-out showstoppers is about to take the stage. Jennifer Lopez brings her Up All Night: Live in 2025 tour to Etihad Arena tonight, and whether you're there for the dance-floor anthems, the high-octane choreography or that viral skirt toss, you're in for a night of pure spectacle. From bedazzled bodysuits to beats that shake the arena, this is no ordinary concert – it's a full-scale JLo production, and it's going to be loud, glamorous and unforgettable. To help you plan the perfect night, we've rounded up everything from where to fuel up pre-show to the best spots to crash post-concert. Because while she may be 'Jenny from the Block,' tonight she's running the whole capital. Last week in Warsaw, she reminded the world why she's still that girl. Mid-performance, while thanking her fans, the gold glittery skirt she was wearing snapped off. One second it was there, the next it was on the floor. Creating a viral moment, she picked it up and threw it into the crowd like a party favour. One fan went home with couture, the rest went wild. This week the 'love don't cost a thing' singer is bringing that same energy to Etihad Arena for the only Middle East stop on her Up All Night: Live in 2025 world tour. But Jennifer Lopez is no stranger to the UAE. She performed in Dubai in 2012 and again in 2014. Earlier this year she headlined Saadiyat Nights in Abu Dhabi, with an open-air show that left fans screaming for more. This time, she's taking it indoors with a full-scale arena production. Doors open at 6pm, and if you're driving, plan ahead. The smart move is to make a full night of it. If you are heading home straight after the show, do yourself a favour and pack a snack, make a playlist, and accept the fact that you might be in traffic longer than JLO was on stage. But hey, if the post-show magic holds, the cars around you might get loud and hoot in harmony to Jenny from the Block . Where to eat before the show Whether you're lining your stomach for a night of dancing or just want to kick off your evening in style, these Yas hotspots are all a short stroll from Etihad Arena.

The Dubai-born venue brings its signature high-energy atmosphere to the capital, with themed nights, live entertainment and a crowd that came to party. The waterfront setting doesn't hurt either. This is where the after-work crowd turns into the no-work-tomorrow crowd. It's loud, it's proud, and it's perfectly chaotic in the best way.

It's all about connection, comfort and slow food with purpose.
