We're building the most fun way to discover food in the GCC.
Jarb (جرب) means "try it" in Arabic. We're a Bahrain-born, GCC-focused team obsessed with helping you find your next favorite spot — and getting paid to do it.
A timeline.
- 2025The idea: what if discovering local food felt like opening a gift?
- 2026 Q1Bahrain MVP. First merchant conversations across Manama, Adliya, and Seef.
- 2026 Q2Public launch. First weekly drops go live.
- 2026 Q4Saudi Arabia + UAE expansion. Drops in Riyadh and Dubai.
- 2027Kuwait, Oman, Qatar. The full GCC.
Why we built Jarb
Jarb started with a simple frustration — the food discovery apps in our region all looked the same, all rewarded the same chains, and made trying new spots feel like work.
We wanted something that felt like Christmas morning, every Thursday. So we built it.
Here's how the magic happens
What we believe
Discovery should feel exciting
Algorithms shouldn't bury good places under ad spend. Every spot deserves a chance to be found by the right person.
Trying should be rewarded
Loyalty programs reward you for going to the same place. We reward you for trying somewhere new. That's how cities stay alive.
Local matters
Built in Bahrain, scaled across the GCC. We work with the spots actually keeping our neighborhoods interesting.
