To find a good kitchen space for rent in India, look for a 250–600 sq ft space with a 15kW commercial power connection, proper exhaust, water and drainage, FSSAI-ready hygiene, and easy rider access — typically ₹15,000–45,000/month depending on the city.

Why rent instead of build?
A new cloud kitchen fit-out costs ₹3–8 lakh and 1–2 months of work. A rented, equipped kitchen needs only a deposit and the first month's rent — you can be on Swiggy and Zomato within weeks. Rent first; build your own only after 3–6 months of proven orders.
The 7-point checklist before you sign
- Power load: at least 15kW commercial connection for burners, refrigeration and exhaust.
- Exhaust and ventilation: a working chimney/duct system — retrofitting one is expensive.
- Water and drainage: continuous water supply and a proper grease trap.
- FSSAI readiness: the premises must meet Schedule 4 hygiene norms so your licence inspection passes.
- Rider access: easy two-wheeler parking and a dispatch point — riders will not climb three floors.
- Location: within 3–4 km of dense residential or office clusters; delivery radius decides your orders.
- Agreement terms: lock-in period, rent escalation, who pays for equipment repairs, and permission for commercial cooking.
Rent by city (300–600 sq ft, per month)
- Mumbai / Delhi NCR / Bengaluru: ₹20,000–45,000
- Hyderabad / Pune / Chennai: ₹15,000–35,000
- Tier-2 cities (Indore, Jaipur, Bhopal, Vijayawada, Lucknow): ₹8,000–20,000
Shared kitchens vs dedicated spaces
Shared or managed kitchens rent equipped stations from 100 sq ft with zero fit-out — good for testing a brand. Dedicated spaces give you full control of the layout and timings — better once you cross 50+ orders a day. Read our commissary kitchen guide for the shared model in detail.

Check power load (15kW+ commercial connection), exhaust and ventilation, water supply and drainage, FSSAI Schedule 4 hygiene readiness, rider access for delivery pickup, and whether the landlord allows commercial cooking on the premises.
Is it cheaper to rent a kitchen or build my own?
