Kitchen Equipment

Foundation of Every UAE Kitchen in Restaurants

Opening or modernizing a restaurant in the United Arab Emirates is not a minor chore. From layout to licensing, every element important; but, the equipment you select determines the success of your kitchen most of all. Efficiency, safety, and service quality depend on a well-equipped kitchen whether your project is a fine-dining concept in Dubai or a café in Abu Dhabi.

At Home Decor, we assist UAE restaurant owners in designing and furnishing commercial kitchens compliant with industry requirements that maximise output. 

This is your complete list of necessary kitchen tools catered for the F&B sector in UAE by 2025.

Culinary Tools

The centre of your kitchen. Select energy-efficient, heavy-duty appliances able to manage maximum demand.

Essential Items:

  • Electric ranges or gas ranges: 4- or 6-burners with oven
  • Perfect for burgers, steaks, and grilled dishes are griddles and charbroilers.

Units of refrigeration

Meeting UAE Municipality food safety rules depends on proper food storage.

Suggested Count:

  • Under-counter refrigerators for fast access products close to prep stations

Pro Tip: In high-temperature surroundings, choose stainless steel interiors for durability and hygienic value.

Kitchen Tools for Preparation

In a commercial kitchen, time is money—prep tools simplify your workflow.

Basics:

Racking System and Storage

Safety and speed depend critically on effective storage. You will want distinct spaces for cleaning supplies, perishables, and dry products.

Items Needed:

  • Modifiable for dry storage, wire shelves
  • Ingredient bins for grains, sugar, flour
  • Shelves mounted wall-wise: to optimize vertical space
  • Cabinets for Cleaning Supplies: Different from food products per UAE hygienic standards

Every racking and shelf item we have at Home Decor is NSF-approved and meant to stop mildew and corrosion.

Sanitation and dishwashing

In the UAE, especially considering regular inspections, a tidy kitchen is non-negotiable.

Tools to Invite:

  • Hood-type or conveyor, depending on capacity, commercial dishwashers
  • Glass washers: For pubs or cafes offering glass-heavy cuisine
  • Three-Compartment Sinks: For cycles of hand wash-rinse-sanitize
  • UAE law requires hand washing sinks, preferably with knee pedal operation.

Remember floor drains, grease traps, and cleaning stations—all of which Home Decor can assist source and install.

Safety Regarding Fire and Ventilation

Without correct ventilation and fire suppression systems, no kitchen is compliant.

  • Equipment List: Filters on an exhaust hood

Working with trained installers, Home Decor makes sure that every ventilation system satisfies Dubai and Abu Dhabi fire safety regulations.
