A commercial kitchen is the most heavily regulated part of any restaurant fit-out in Dubai. Get the extract, gas and approvals right and the opening holds; get them wrong and it slips. Here is what is involved.
The core requirements
- Kitchen extract and ventilation sized to the equipment.
- Gas and refrigeration systems via qualified specialists.
- Grease management and drainage to municipality standards.
- Fire suppression and Civil Defence sign-off.
- Food-control and municipality approvals.
Why design and services must align early
The kitchen layout, extract routing and drainage shape the whole restaurant — so they are designed together with front of house, not bolted on afterwards.
