Building the Brand
Bateel, a journey of transformation and creation, forging an enduring legacy of innovation, delighting discerning consumers of fine food around the world. Bateel elevated a revered ancient fruit to gourmet delicacies and created a luxury retail experience that launched an entirely new market, a market for the gourmet dates and date products.
Bateel produces exceptional quality organic dates. This is the foundation for developing Bateel’s world-renowned gourmet range, offered in Bateel luxury boutiques and other premium retailing channels.
Elevating the art of gift-giving
Bateel is the ultimate indulgence and gifting destination. Our luxurious boutiques offer a distinctly different experience where guests are welcomed with the warmth of Arabian hospitality and treated to a collection of gourmet date products.
Bespoke Gifts
Our luxurious gift collections are fully customisable and feature a range of gourmet delights. Tailored to suit a variety of themes and tastes, the gift packaging includes stunning wooden presentation boxes, ballotins, silver trays, etageres and classic carton packaging.
Fine Food,
Exceptional Flavour
Bateel’s market leadership position as a purveyor of fine food is anchored on its strategy of developing innovative high-quality products. An ethos supported by research, production assets and collaborations with other fine food innovators. These investments enable Bateel to continuously enhance the existing range, adding new products to the portfolio, which include date inspired creations, such as date-balsamic vinegar, flavoured date dhibs and sparkling date juice.
Café Bateel
One of the leading purveyors of gourmet food experiences, Café Bateel is a celebration of culinary inspiration. Taking the brand beyond gourmet products, Café Bateel represents the ultimate Bateel experience, providing a warm and sophisticated ambiance where you can enjoy extraordinary cuisine.
Café Bateel is recognised for exquisite quality, heartfelt hospitality and gourmet food located in premium commercial and residential districts.

Our award-winning chefs have an unwavering commitment to produce the highest quality dishes sourcing only the finest ingredients to create Mediterranean inspired menu.
A Heritage of Excellence
Like the word ‘bateel’ itself – which refers to the young offshoot of a date palm that can be used to grow into a new tree – the company continues to forge new culinary frontiers. Bateel has evolved from its origins as a pioneer in the gourmet date market to a leader in the international luxury food sector.
