Commercial Kitchen Equipment Buyer's Guide — Nairobi 2026

A practical guide to budgeting and choosing the right commercial kitchen equipment for restaurants in Kenya.

Whether you're opening a small café or a 200-cover restaurant, equipment choice will determine your margin. We break down refrigeration, cooking, prep and warewashing — what to buy, what to skip, and what to fabricate.

At Karisma, every project starts with the same question: what does this kitchen, butchery or processing line need to do every day for the next decade? We then engineer back from that — from material grade to weld type to layout to training. The result: equipment that pays for itself.
