About Dhaba Kitchen
Dhaba began by the warmth of Chef Enayatullah Safi's grandmother's tandoor in Afghanistan. His journey carried him through the streets of India, which gave Dhaba its soul, and into the kitchens of Copenhagen, where he learned precision and respect for every ingredient. Now, in Abu Dhabi, all of those chapters come together at one table, alongside the multicultural energy of the UAE.
We are preparing to open our new flagship restaurant in Saadiyat Grove, one of the UAE's most exciting dining destinations, and we are looking for an experienced, ambitious Head Chef to join our pre-opening team.
The Role
Reporting to the Executive Chef and Culinary Director, you will lead the day-to-day running of the kitchen and build a high-performing culinary team before and after opening. Our food combines Indian flavours, live-fire and tandoor cooking, premium ingredients and contemporary Copenhagen technique, with the generosity of Indian hospitality always at its heart.

What You Bring
The Person
We are looking for a chef who is curious, creative and disciplined. This is not about reproducing traditional dishes; it is about understanding the foundations of Indian cuisine and presenting those flavours in a contemporary, sophisticated way. You will have the confidence to lead, the humility to keep learning, and the ambition to help build one of Abu Dhabi's most exciting new Indian restaurants.
