Ahmed Salih and Bassel Siblini are the Co-Founders of a brilliant new digital platform - Meelz, the first marketplace in the world to connect chefs directly to the customer.

It started during the pandemic, when the world seemed to stop, however the one thing that was always available was food, in some way or another from pro chefs to keen home cooks, wether it was though Instagram live, or YouTube, people always seemed to have to time to either watch food or cook it.
This gave both Ahmed and Bassel, the idea that sparked what is now Meelz, what if they were able to partner up with well-known chefs, give them a stage that would allow them to monetise their talents, as well be able to recommend the supply chain from each chef to regular customers.
Ahmed is an Emirati who comes from a food background, as he started as an entrepreneur in business from the age of 7, selling figs from his garden to friends, and is now the owner of the award-winning Dubai eatery – 3Fils.

Bassel had always grown up around food, between Libya, Lebanon and Spain, with a rich food culture, growing up his family played a huge role, educating him on the quality of great ingredients. Later of he went on to work at various leadership roles, predominantly in the e-commerce sectors within the F&B industry, which gave him the experience required to start such a platform.
Meelz, benefits everyone in the value chain, vendors, chefs, and above all the customers, who will have first-hand access to the very best produce and recipes from award winning chefs.
