Opening a cafe, coffee shop or cafeteria in Dubai? Al Sahm Interior Design handles the full cafe fit-out in Dubai: 3D design, Dubai Municipality and Civil Defence approval drawings, kitchen and grease trap works, joinery, counters, signage and handover. One company, one contract, from empty shell to opening day.
Many of our clients open a cafeteria in a residential building or office tower: a compact counter for karak, juices and sandwiches, with a small kitchen behind it. Others open a full-seating specialty coffee shop or a large restaurant, like our Chai Pakoda restaurant fit-out. Whatever the size, we plan the space to keep the flow from kitchen to counter fast and the seating as large as possible.
Food outlets in Dubai must have a correctly sized grease trap, a proper kitchen exhaust system and food-safe finishes before they can get approval and open. We prepare the grease trap detail, exhaust layout and kitchen drawings, then supply and install them. This avoids failed inspections and delays to your opening date.
Budget planning: see our fit-out cost guide for Dubai to see what affects salon, café and shop fit-out costs.
A small cafeteria usually takes about 3 to 5 weeks of site work. A larger cafe with seating takes about 6 to 10 weeks, plus the time for approvals. We give you a clear timeline with the quotation.
