About the project
Turkish cuisine is the focus at Khayal Restaurant in Jeddah, from grilled meats and mezze platters to Turkish specialties. Its menu centres on meat dishes made from traditional family recipes and is served from breakfast through to dinner, which means a kitchen that grills and cooks for long hours every day.
Why fire and life safety matter in a grill restaurant
Grills and hot cooking equipment are a constant source of flame and heat, and the grease they release settles in hoods and exhaust ducts, among the most common places for restaurant fires to start and spread. A kitchen running from morning to night leaves little downtime for equipment to cool or be cleaned, so more depends on protection that works automatically. Meanwhile the dining room fills with families and visitors who do not know the building and need early warning and clear exits before kitchen smoke reaches them. Protection has to address the high-hazard kitchen and the busy dining area together, in line with Civil Defense requirements.
AZEIDK’s role
