Restaurant Concept Development Company UAE

As a restaurant concept development company UAE, First Unicorn Interiors delivers complete fit-out solutions for restaurants across Dubai. Our services cover concept development, design, permitting, and construction. For a typical restaurant, our fit-out costs range from AED 90,000 to AED 900,000, depending on size and finish level. The timeline for completion is 5-18 weeks, based on the scope. We handle all approvals, including Dubai Municipality permits and Civil Defence approvals, ensuring a smooth process.

Dubai's restaurant scene is competitive, and your concept must stand out. We work with you to develop a unique theme, from casual dining to fine dining. Our in-house team of designers and engineers ensures that your vision is realized. We also assist with menu engineering and kitchen workflow to optimize efficiency. With over 800 projects completed, we have the expertise to deliver a restaurant that attracts customers and generates revenue.

Approvals are a critical part of any restaurant fit-out in Dubai. You need a Dubai Municipality permit for building and fit-out plan approval, which takes 10-15 working days. Civil Defence approval for fire and life safety takes 5-10 days. DEWA connection or modification takes 7-14 days. If your restaurant is in a master-planned community like Emaar, Nakheel, or Damac, you also need a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the developer, which takes 10-20 days. We manage all these approvals for you.

For restaurants on Palm Jumeirah or in Jebel Ali, Trakhees approval is required, taking 15-25 days. If you're in a mall, the landlord's approval adds another 10-20 days. We have experience navigating these complex processes. Our team ensures that all paperwork is in order, minimizing delays. We also coordinate with Civil Defence for fire safety inspections and with DEWA for power and water connections.

The cost of your restaurant fit-out depends on several factors. Our pricing is based on floor area, not bedrooms. For basic finishes, expect AED 80-150 per square foot. Mid-range finishes cost AED 150-300 per square foot. Luxury finishes range from AED 300-500 per square foot. For a small restaurant (up to 500 sq ft), total costs range from AED 90,000 to AED 180,000. Medium restaurants (500-1500 sq ft) cost AED 180,000-400,000. Large restaurants (1500-5000 sq ft) cost AED 400,000-900,000.

Timelines vary by size. Small restaurants take 5-7 weeks, medium 8-12 weeks, and large 12-18 weeks. These timelines include approvals and construction. We work efficiently to meet your opening date. Our project managers keep you updated throughout the process. We also offer a 3-year warranty on workmanship, giving you peace of mind.

Recent completed project: A 2,000 sq ft restaurant in Dubai Marina. The client wanted a modern industrial look with exposed brick and steel. Before/after: the space was a bare shell with concrete floors and no MEP. We transformed it into a stylish dining area with custom lighting, a mezzanine floor, and a fully equipped kitchen. The project was completed in 14 weeks, within the AED 400,000-900,000 range. The client praised our attention to detail and timely delivery.

We understand the unique challenges of restaurant fit-outs, such as kitchen extraction and grease management. These systems are crucial for food safety and compliance. We design and install commercial kitchen ventilation, grease traps, and fire suppression systems. Our team ensures that all equipment meets Dubai Municipality and Civil Defence standards. This attention to detail prevents costly delays and ensures your restaurant passes inspections.

We offer turnkey solutions, from concept to handover. Our team includes architects, interior designers, MEP engineers, and project managers. We handle everything, so you can focus on your business.
