From Adana to Amsterdam: Building Authentic Turkish Kitchens That Perform

Turkish Restaurant Kitchen Projects – Engineered Culinary Systems from Turkey

We’ve worked with culinary consultants and chefs who run kitchens from Istanbul to Berlin, and here’s what we seen over and over again — Turkish kitchens aren’t just about grilling kebabs. They’re about mastering heat, preserving heritage, and delivering consistency during rush hours. From wood-fired pide ovens to kazan-style (large Turkish cooking pot) bulk cooking stations, these kitchens are all about pace, flame, and flavor.

As a turnkey kitchen manufacturer based in Turkey, we specialize in building fully export-compliant Turkish restaurant kitchens with the right blend of equipment, layout logic, and cultural respect. We collaborate with contractors, procurement managers, and kitchen consultants globally to make sure the soul of Turkish cuisine is respected — and operationally optimized.

Whether it’s a fine dining Anatolian kitchen in Qatar or a street-food style döner outlet in London, we make sure your Turkish food service line actually flows — from charcoal to cold chain.

Charcoal Cooking Needs Space
Turkish grills (mangal) generate smoke, sparks, and require prep proximity. Don’t compress them.

Pide Prep and Oven Must Be Aligned
Rolling, topping, and baking should happen in a straight line. Curves kill speed.

Hot Mezze Requires Holding Zones
Not everything goes out instantly. Salamanders and hot drawers are key.

Cold Mezze Isn’t Just Salad
Requires GN-friendly chilled drawers, not just upright fridges.

Kazan Cooking = Floor Space
These big pots (kazan-style pans) need clearance. Plan for 900 mm all sides.

Show Fire, But Hide the Smoke
FOH visibility is nice, but invest in hoods that manage real flames.

Doner Zones Must Be Grease-Isolated
Avoid placing near pastry or cold prep. Grease spread is real.

Utensil Chaos? Rail It.
Hanging rails, ladle bins, and GN inserts reduce cross-contamination and chaos.

We begin with your concept, not your catalog. That’s the Turkish way.

We consider:

  • Style: Ocakbaşı (grill-centered seating), Meze bar (cold starter service), Pide salonu (flatbread oven station), or Fusion
  • Fuel: Charcoal, gas, electric mix
  • Stations: Cold mezze, hot starters, grill, kazan
  • Return flow: Dirty dish zones never cross prep

📩 Planning a Turkish restaurant kitchen? Contact our Istanbul-based team for CAD drawings and tailored BOQ.

Planning a French restaurant kitchen? You should start not with a catalog, but with a menu.

We map layouts based on:

  • Type of French cuisine (brasserie, haute cuisine, patisserie-forward)
  • Seating capacity and service speed
  • Plate count and size
  • Prep-to-pass coordination
  • Cold vs hot ratio per menu segment

From initial BOQ to 3D layout, every step involves your consultant and our engineers — we align the dream with the ducting. We not skipping anything. Not even the soufflé.

We get the fuel dynamics of Turkish kitchens.

  • High-pressure gas lines for charcoal & grill zones
  • Charcoal ash bin access planning
  • Voltage matching for international deployment
  • Plumbing for kazan and dish return zoning
  • Hood air calculation per grill + oven capacity

🥶 Storage & Humidity Tips for Baklava

Baklava needs balanced humidity — too dry, it cracks; too moist, it gets soggy. We use:

  • GN-sized cold drawers with marble tops
  • Humidity-controlled cabinets (+4°C to +8°C)
  • Anti-condensation liners to preserve syrup texture

One mistake in storage, and 30 portions can go to waste.
