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.
8 Essential Kitchen Flow Insights for Turkish Cuisine
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.
Layout Planning – From Menu Logic to CAD Drawings
We begin with your concept, not your catalog. That’s the Turkish way.

📌 Tip: Doner stations should be kept away from pastry zones to prevent cross-contamination and heat interference.
We’ve shipped to Marseille, Munich, and Muscat. Here’s how things shift:
Local install? We send our team. Export? We ship with schematic drawings.
Baklava needs balanced humidity — too dry, it cracks; too moist, it gets soggy. We use:
One mistake in storage, and 30 portions can go to waste.
Do you offer charcoal-compatible hoods?
Yes — with grease filtration, spark arrestor, and ducting support.
Can we combine wood oven and charcoal grill in one line?
Absolutely. We balance the thermal zones and ventilation.
Do you offer export support for Africa or GCC?
Yes — full documentation and sea freight packaging included.
Can we include traditional copper pots in the design?
Yes, with proper shelving and low-flame burners.
: Can we integrate charcoal cooking stations safely?
Yes. Our setups include fire-blocking layers and airflow balance.
