C2i - Commis - Dhaba Kitchen - Abu Dhabi

About Dhaba

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.

Every great kitchen is built on people eager to learn and grow. We are looking for motivated Commis Chefs to join our pre-opening team and develop their skills across every section of a modern Indian kitchen.

• Follow HACCP and food safety standards at all times
• Keep your station, equipment and storage areas clean and organised
• Rotate between sections as required to build your skills
• Report shortages or equipment issues to your Chef de Partie
