Who thought that comfort food could be healthy?

Kitchen Confidential was born in Beirut out of the passion for creating the highest quality comfort delicacies by using nothing but premium quality organic and natural nutrient-rich ingredients. It all started in 2013 with the Khairallah family, Walid a Medical Doctor, his brother Imad a Financier, and Siham their mother, a talented executive chef. Together, they decided to transform comfort food into a healthy version without compromising on taste and texture. And this, after experiencing the effect of clean eating on their body and mind. By harnessing their family’s skillsets, they have been helping people with allergies, intolerances, or special dietary requirements, enjoy eating out or ordering in their favorite treat. All dishes are crafted in a dedicated gluten-free kitchen, ensuring no risk of cross-contamination.

About Kitchen Confidential

A healthy lifestyle food concept, Kitchen Confidential was born out of the passion to create the highest quality comfort delicacies by using nothing but premium quality organic and natural nutrient-rich ingredients.

All dishes are crafted in a dedicated gluten free kitchen ensuring no risk of cross-contamination while accommodating all of the clients’ food allergens and dietary preferences.

It all started in 2013, when a family, with complementary backgrounds and skills and after personally experiencing the effect of clean eating on their body and mind, decided to transform comfort food, including items perceived as unhealthy, into its gluten free, allergen friendly, refined sugar free, natural, and healthy version without compromising on taste and texture.

The brothers, a Medical Doctor and a Financier, along with their mother, a talented and passionate Executive Chef, decided to have a social and health impact by creating a concept where people with allergies, intolerances, special dietary requirements and preferences or who are simply looking for clean transparent yet tasty food can still enjoy eating out or ordering in their favorite treat.
