About us

Our mission is to bring the most loved city-center restaurants closer to suburban communities, making high-quality dining more accessible than ever.

Huuva’s innovative multi-brand restaurant concept operates like a modern food hall—bringing multiple popular restaurant brands under one roof. Orders are freshly prepared in a shared kitchen, allowing customers to mix and match their favorite dishes from different restaurants in a single order. Whether dining in or ordering for delivery, Huuva offers a seamless and high-quality restaurant experience.

Since founding in 2021, we've grown to become one of the largest merchants for at-home dining in Finland and growing continuously. We are backed by some of the world's most successful investors including General Catalyst, Lifeline Ventures and many more.

Join us in shaping the future of dining! 🚀
