About Us

United Kitchen Concepts represents a paradigm shift for the F&B space. Founded by a passionate entrepreneur with a dream of innovating local concepts on a global scale,
UKC marries the dark kitchen space with brick and mortar venues, to create a whole new level of world-class service and exceptional food.

Our vision is to lead innovation in how consumers access quality international cuisine, creating new concepts that will be operating around the world.

Our Values

UKC is a company built on hard work, business acumen and love. Sharing food has always been intrinsic to our way of life, uniting strangers and showing affection for friends and family.

In today’s uncertain world, it is more important than ever to come together and show our gratitude to others. We have met the challenges of COVID 19 by adapting our model; starting our operations in the dark kitchen space before moving into brick and mortar restaurants. This is testament to our flexibility, ingenuity and commitment to supporting the local community, creating job opportunities and serving frontline NHS members who are working relentlessly for us all. As well as creating a global brand and bringing truly exciting new concepts to life, we are building a global family with traditional values at its centre.

The UKC Team

Hussam El Jammal
Founder & CEO
Our founder Hussam El Jammal is a young, ambitious and highly successful entrepreneur whose history is firmly rooted in food and hospitality. Hussam discovered his passion for food as a child, watching the chefs in the kitchen at his father’s hotel. Having built a successful hospitality business over 40 years, Hussam’s father wanted him to understand every aspect of the industry and appreciate the value of hard work. This was invaluable advice, with Hussam learning the ropes as a kitchen porter before going on to create culinary masterpieces of his own. One of Hussam's success story being Ayam Elezz situated in the heart of Dubai an award winning restaurant that transports you to the golden era of Lebanon. As his experience and skill grew, so did his ability to dream big. In his quest to create a global brand like no other, he relocated to the UK to study the market, investing great time and effort to work with the best experts in the business. After many months of meticulously researching locations, building brands, engineering menus and devising the best possible operational and training solutions for multiple concepts, United Kitchen Concepts was born.

Our
Brands

Levanthyme

Mediterranean on the go, Levanthyme is our first concept and brings our rich history and passion to life. Famous for its temperate climate, azure waters and delicious food, the Levant region is a fertile crescent at the southern edge of the Mediterranean that many historians cite as the birthplace of civilisation . It was here that our founder grew up, and he always dreamed of sharing the flavours of his homeland with a European audience. Visit Website

Coming Soon

Lebanese Concept

Located on the eastern shores of the Mediterranean Sea, Lebanon is renowned for its generous hospitality, rich cultural heritage and mouth watering flavours. It’s a diverse land that has seen its fair share of challenges over the centuries, but like a phoenix rising from the ashes it has grown stronger and more beautiful than ever. UKC is bringing the bold flavours and aromas of traditional Lebanese cuisine to a new audience, with lovingly made dishes available on the go.

Coming Soon

Indian Concept

Across all regions, food is an integral part of Indian culture. Our simple, yet delicious dishes are inspired by Indian street food, using traditional ingredients and a delicate combination of warming herbs and spices. Unlike the ubiquitous curries found in restaurants across Europe, the (brand name) experience is packed with flavour surprisingly healthy.
