The Dubai Municipality has the authority to approve the establishment of restaurants under its jurisdiction, by the rules of the Dubai Municipality. Businesses seeking approval must submit various requirements and documentation to the Dubai Municipality for consideration. The initial inspection conducted by the Dubai Municipality may encompass designated restaurant building, safety requirements, and food quality.
Dubai aligns its food safety standards with those of the United States, Australia, and Hong Kong, demonstrating compliance with the United Nations’ requirements for food safety. This reflects the authorities’ efforts to adhere to international standards.
