Job description

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.

At Dhaba, every dish carries a story, and it deserves to arrive at the table perfectly. We are looking for energetic, reliable Food Runners to join our pre-opening team and connect our kitchen with our guests.
