The Royal Orchid Group
The house of Cater Inc.
Second-generation restaurateurs who have fed Abu Dhabi, Dubai and the Emirates for four decades.
Our story
Forty years from a single restaurant.
The Royal Orchid Group was founded in 1985 by Vinay Varmawith the launch of Kwality, Abu Dhabi’s veteran Indian restaurant. Its success, built on long hours and a refusal to cut corners, turned one restaurant into a collection of award-winning concepts that have lasted through every shift in the region’s dining.
The catering division was born in parallel, to meet the demand for weddings, corporate events and private celebrations across the UAE. Over the years Cater Inc. has become a preferred and trusted choice for events large and small.
Today the group spans fourteen restaurants and nine brands, a 6,500 sq ft HACCP production facility, and a team of more than two hundred and fifty, still run by the family that started it.
