One of the best Turkish restaurant in Dubai.. amazing food with excellent service👍👍👍👍👍
Super food and excellent service. Menu is full of perfect varieties. Ambience is very good. I would rate their food as one of the best Turkish restaurant in Dubai. Tried many dishes and all were tasty. Staff is very helpful. The only feedback to improve is the price, overall and in the current situation, prices are very high.
Amazing food and ambience ! The kebabs were tender and delicious !
I had chosen Günaydin for a dinner with a close family. I had booked the table early on to make sure I get the best table. They called me to confirm the same too. Once I reached I was welcomed by a pleasant lady and assisted me to the table. The view was spectacular, one of the best in and around downtown.
Excellent service! I really want to thank mr Ismail for his professionalism and help in accommodating our group on outside sitting knowing that it was difficult as having a big group. Thanks again
I was confused where to eat n souk al bhar and this struck my eyes and I was impressed by customer service offered by jenny . She had good knowledge and knew what we wanted to eat and gave us full description of food. The salad was simply amazing and kebabs was juicy and tender to eat.keep up the good work and not to miss their fast delivery and the view of the restaurant facing the fountain was cherry on the top.
Loved the food quality except the iskender kebab which was dry and meat was not fresh except that enjoyed the meal and hands off to the most amazing adana kebab (please improved ur quality to maintain standards in some item)
This is my favorite one of the best restaurant the food is great but a bit pricey, I like the place and ambiance you can see the fountain and enjoy the food
Amazing place, amazing staff, and amazing food. It was a bit hot but the food and place all made up for it, i was enjoying my time and didnt care.
They can be listed in the top Turkish food places in Dubai. Everything was great in my visit to Gunaydin. Food, customer service, atmosphere and not to forget the amazing view of Dubai Mall fountain! Definitely a place to visit with zero concerns from my side.
Best location in Dubai Mall to watch the light show. Food is excellent, service is excellent and quite fast, all staff is very friendly. Definitely worth the price yoy pay. Recommend you make reservation as it is quite busy.
Nice ambience. Staff was courteous and service was prompt. The Turkish hummus was amazing .I had chicken and lamb kebabs for main courde.They we're delicious .
Great place for meat lovers...the menu is huge so you may need some help to order the right stuff that you like and i highly recommend the sheshlek kabab and their sujuk
The place itself is very nice however prices advertised on Zomato are not updated. Breakfast set menu costs 120 aed and not 75 according to Zomato. We arrived here and were surprised with the price difference.this of course affected the experience itself as expectation should match reality.
This place is quite unique and authentic. I felt as if I was in Turkey, and it was amazing. Loved the fact that most of the staff was Turkish and well trained! The food was super fresh and tasty. It’s a bit pricey, but I would still recommend it to anyone.
I went to Gunaydin for the first time last week although i have been wanting to try it for a while. I would say the experience was good, and you get authentic turkish food with a variety of flavorful dishes. My only concern, and this is personal, is the amount of fat in the almost all the meat dishes. The service is very good and the view, cant wish for better
Turkish cuisine has remained an indispensable part of the UAE culinary gastroscape, so to say. There are umpteen choices for experiencing authentic Turkish cuisine in Dubai and in my opinion Gunaydin is probably one of the best and most popular recommendation by anyone who knows Turkish food well. Gunaydin gets a 5* rating from blogliterati.com hands down for its top-class food, fine guest service, gorgeous location, relaxing ambiance and overall quality of its offering.
From the time Gunaydin opened in Souk Al Bahar, I always wanted to visit them but being a vegetarian, never set foot there as it is a meatery. But all that changed last week when I visited them to try their newly launched vegetarian and vegan dishes. Yes, big thumbs up to Gunaydin for including the new dishes and now vegetarians and vegans have another amazing restaurant to visit in Dubai.
This is by far, the best steak place in Dubai. The meat is so beautifully cooked, I just can't describe it. Tender, flavorful and literally orgasmic. I really thought I'd died and gone to butcher heaven. It's one of those places that are truly worth the hype. Be prepared to part with a generous portion of your money though. But trust me when I say you're not going to regret it.
We had the mixed grill, lokum meat, beef fillets, and one of the best desserts I've had in a long time. Katmer. I'd go back just for that. Their service is impeccable as well. The waiters are extremely efficient and helpful.
I really loved Günaydin!
I always pass by the restaurant on the way to Souk Al Bahar from the Dubai Mall.
Last night, my husband and I had the pleasure of dinning there and let me tell you, the food was fantastic! Did I mention they also have wonderful views of the Dubai fountain?
Günaydin is a little on the expensive side, but definitely worth trying. Günaydin is specialized in meats and kebabs. They recently also launched a vegan and seafood .
Visit my website to see the video I did of everything we ate!
This place is a one inch far from being a fine dinning cuisine.
It is awesome, has a great seating area, and a great service.
A little bit cozy, but it gives a great experience.
The food is super fresh, and it tastes Turkish to the bone.
However, it is pricy; might be a good place to gather with the fellows ;)

After a summer hiatus, Günaydin in Souk al Bahar recently relaunched their amazing Turkish breakfast, which is available from 8:30am to 12:30pm every Friday and Saturday. In fact, Günaydin actually means “good morning” in Turkish, which is a bit random considering they’re known as a steakhouse and butchery, but far more befitting when you visit for breakfast.
If you are craving Turkish cuisine and if you love having Breakfast, you can go and try the Breakfast of Gunaydin, a Turkish Restaurant located at Souk Al Bahar. I went last Saturday with my friend and we enjoyed the breakfast. You can start by ordering the Turkish Breakfast set that is exactly like the below.

Beautiful ambiance facing Dubai mall and the view of the musical fountain was totally mesmerising while having dinner. The food was good but I felt the quantity was a little less for the price being charged. The server was friendly and patient to explain what each dish was if at all you have any doubts. Overall it was lovely experience☺️
Turkish restaurant and the location is unbeatable, very good food and tasty, the best thing is the beef and the baklawa. Good menu, friendly staffs, highly recommended 👍🏼
If you are looking for a nice view and delicious food gunaydin is the perfect option with luxurious seating outside plus their desserts are to die for 😋
Food is good and the restaurant is clean with nice seating. The menu is huge in regards to meat selection, starters and sweets. Staff are very nice and helpful. Recommended

Gunaydin is one out of two of our most favourite steak joints in Dubai. Hands down. Their grilled steak and kebaps are otherworldly. Go there RIGHT NOW if you haven’t. Please. You’ll be happy you did! (And don’t forget to come back here to thank me... ;D)
What we ordered:
1. Adana Kebap (minced lamb kebab with Turkish spices and herbs - so delicious!!! I could eat endless plates of these, especially with buttered Turkish rice. Mmmmm. Get this!)
2. Tulum Peynirli Salata (lettuce salad with tulum cheese, walnuts, golden sultanas - tasty, but the portion is MASSIVE for only two people to share...don’t order this unless you have more than 3 people OR if it’s somebody’s main...)
3. Buhara Pilavi (special Turkish rice - sweet tomato based flavour, lots of peas - not our type of rice dish. Pass.)
4. Rib Eye Steak from the Grill (cooked medium, MOST AMAZING DISH FROM GUNAYDIN! Mind. Bloooooown. So juicy, beautiful grill marks, perfectly seasoned, tender and just the right amount of fat. GET THIIIIIS. Please.)
5. Pembe Sultan (cold mezze, yogurt mixed with beetroot, decent but not fantastic)
6. Muhammara (not our type of muhammara, bit too chunky, weird after taste)
Next time, we’ll stick to more meat dishes. Not as many sides. AND we want to try the Wagyu steak on the grill. I know it’ll be spectacular. Also, must to try for us next time is the Baklava Ice Cream dessert. Mmmmm......
Happy eating 🌷
In the heart of Souk Al Bahar, located in nice place with view of fountain, in evening time is so relaxing 😌, Adana Kebab is very delicious same as in Turkey, service is good, but your fruit salad is really big portion for 2 people is more than enough! Highly recommended !
Very high food quality with very very incredible hosting from the staff. I highly recommend the place to anyone who is seeking high fiod quality
We enjoyed the authentic Turkish food to the fullest at Gunaydin located at the lovely ambience of Souk al Bahar.
Amazing Turkish good . Best sellers : Gunaydin special platter , Urga kebab, pistachio kebab , halep lamachun, and pistachio pastry with ice cream

Urfa Kebab, Chopped Lamb Kebab with Turkish spices and Herbs was very good.

Isa is a very good staff. Funny and cool. Food are fresh. Definitely worth paying for. Location is good. Staff are friendly and food taste really good. Will come back again.
Gunaydin has got to be my favorite restaurant in downtown. The ambience, decor and vibe of the restaurant is just phenomenonal. How much I loved the good I can't even tell you. I had the fattoush salad and humus with their freshly baked bread as starters. Everything was great. For mains we had the kasap lofted and kuzu tandir. The meat was so tender and soft and juicy. I'd go back every single time just for that. A must try restaurant for meat lovers. Outstanding service too.
Hersey cok guzeldi gunaydin kalitesini tam anlamiyla hissettik. Ailem ve misafirlerimle gecirdigimiz bu guzel iftar yemegi icin gunaydin ekibine tesekkur ederim. Ayrica sorumlu Tolga beye de bu guzel aksam icin tesekkur ederim.
Awesome authentic turkish foods.
We ordered pomegranate salad, vine leaves, alinazik kebab and lamb sote.
The staff (Isa and Serkan) were amazingly great and friendly.
Really recommended and will come for other dishes.
Simply amazing food with a fantastic view....we...enjoyed the hospitality and outdoor seating .....went with my colleagues at INDOGUNA ....this place is a must visit for all food lovers...
Superb location to enjoy the fountain show and projection mapping show of Burj Khalifa. Depending on the seat, the view is more spectacular than what you can get in Abd El Wahab. Rocket salad and bread were nice. Gunaydin special was also nice but a little tasteless.
Don't miss the turkish tabag of breakfast here...directly from heaven..I'd rather gunaydin breakfast options to it's main courses, however the variety of kebabs are good as well..best view of fountain and burj Khalifa..
what a location for gunaydin a full view of dubai fountain u can’t find a table without reservations or waiting list for the food was very tasty and worth every penny very friendly staff highly recommended
The food was great but the weather inside the restaurant was too hot! I specially liked the iskandar .. highly recommended. The meat is and kebab was very delicious.
We ordered a Durum Beyti and a Chicken Cop Shish for dinner, both dishes were very delicious and huge in portion, but a bit too salty and oily
My husband felt like eating Turkish food so we decided to go to Gunaydin. We ordered appetizers the grilled eggplant loved it. The sausage was very good over all was very good.
I have been to this restaurant twice , for lunch and breakfast ..
Location is great opposing the fountain and Dubai mall , staff are friendly and smiling , the breakfast was just wow , every plate was delicious and the price is quite fair for the quantity
One of the best breakfast restaurants
worth visiting!
The food is insanely delicious and what I loved the most about this place was that the fact it being so crowded the service was amazing
Whatever I opted for was not at all disappointing! Great taste, quality and portion.
The menu can be a little too hard to understand as there is a lot going on so just do make sure to ask for suggestions and help if you feel lost!
Generous
Tried mega breakfast as my daughter named it !!
Fantastic and great value for money , for some one who loves breakfast with cheese , mega hot breads, eggs .. a place to be !!
Will be back for lunch or dinner for more !!
Keep It up
So good and delicious food served with love. I love Turkish foods. But only one point I can say the prices are high.
I really recommend trying their food and u can also visit their branch in Istanbul.
Yummy in the tummy
Absolutely amazing all around. The food was delicious and fresh. The donor meat was unbelievable and probably one of the best I've tried in Dubai. The prices were great and the ambience was amazing. The best part of this restaurant besides the food was the service. The staff was so friendly and even though they were busy they still managed to get me the table I wanted outside. I highly recommend this restaurant as it's five stars.
Loved this restaurant located at Souk Al Bahar downtown with beautiful views of Dubai Mall & Burj Khalifa - Ambience is WOW
Being a vegetarian i was in double mind to go to this place or not but i was wrong. They have some great veg options and the best Cheese pie ever. Turkish Hospitality is amazing and the dessert is mind blowing. Loved it and totally recommend it !!
Had a yummy weekend breakfast with friends at gunaydin, a famous Turkish meatery located at the heart of Downtown Dubai. It brought me back the memories of Istanbul and my love for Turkish food. The place has an awesome view of Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall, the staff are very friendly and food was delicious as expected.
My love for Turkish food has led me deep into the touristy area of Dubai and for good reason. Gunaydin has built a solid reputation for itself. We ordered a bunch of starters, a steak, and two desserts, including the legen—wait for it—dary baklava. Really hard to fault anything at this place from the food to the ambience to the service so they get a solid 5 in my book. They’re equivalently priced though so come with an open mind and an open cheque 🤑

Having heard that Gunaydin started Turkish breakfast on weekends, I was excited and visited here with friends at first availability.
Gunaydin did not disappoint me with the breakfast (AED 105); for me currently they are one of the best with the variety of tastes and the quality of the products.
White cheese which is the integral component of a Turkish breakfast was exceptional. Sogus (tomatoes and cucumber), simit, variety of jams and butter, pide (special pita bread), black and green olives were all great in taste. We ordered sucuklu yumurta (eggs with soujouk), that was nice as well. They serve unlimited tea free of charge which is a classical Turkish hospitality.
Having been seated outdoors by the fountain and Burj Khalifa view, it was very relaxing and the weekend fountain show was the bonus.
Definitely Gunaydin is trending up on my list for weekend breakfasts.
@gunaydindubai Meatery at the @thedubaimall will not only offer you the best cut of meat but a little action to go with it. 😍😍😍 We recommend you try the Gunaydin Special Kișilik (prices vary depending on number of people)
@dubaifoodfest with a blast! #dubaifoodfest

Entering Gunaydin can only be described as a Carnivores dream.
We were initially seated inside, however as soon as we requested to be seated outside so as to enjoy the fountain and laser show, despite being completely packed, they accommodated our request and we were outside within 2 min.
We ordered the following for 3 people:
1- mixed green salad with tulum cheese
It had a great mix of sweet and tart. The raisins in the dish added a great extra touch.
2- platter of tulum cheese
Tasted great with the hot bread that was served alongside it.
3- Gunaydin Special for 2
This dish can only be described as a show in itself. The way they cut the meat, set the sizzler on fire and served the food was indescribable. The atmosphere this dish created was amazing and the meat itself was extremely tender (as it should be being cooked in that much butter)
4- Mixed grill for 2
In the mixed grill we received 2 lambchops, 1 kebab, 5 lamb pieces and 6 pieces of chicken.
Imo opinion the lambchops were a little dry.
The kebab was delicious and took Centre stage of the dish. The meat was soft and had a great flavor to it.
The lamb pieces were so soft that even when the dish became cold, it was so easy to cut through.
I will not give an opinion on the chicken as I did not try it.
Our waiter Isa was probably one of the funniest people we've met and he made the meal a lot more enjoyable.
We wanted to order baklava for desert, however Isa convinced us to order Katmer instead.
I really enjoyed the fact that dish was not overtly sweet. The pastry was nice and flaky and the tasted great with the i cream which was rolled into the middle.
The desert in my opinion was a great end to the meal and really tied it all together.
Definitely a revisit!

Gunaydin a meat shop turned to this bewildering spot for all those Turkish food lovers.
This was our introduction to the Turkish cuisine and it was one hell of a introduction.
One of the dishes we tasted was the Lahmancun (try saying that 10 times), which is a kind of Turkish pizza and was perfection in disguise. Lahmacun is basically bread layered with perfectly seasoned chopped lamb and is served with fresh herbs and lemon.
The dish was perfectly balanced. The
freshness of the herbs complimented the spicy mince perfectly. We can now ofically say that we both are MASSIVE Turkish food fans "Lunch with a view" is something we are massive fans off. Throw in an outdoor seating arrangment and a great view and we're sold. So if you wanna enjoy amazing Turkish cuisine with a view of the magnificent burj khalifa then Gunaydin is the place to be. @gunaydindubai #turkish #turkishfood #turkishcuisine
Interiors flawless, food delectable, staff hospitable and cutlery sharp enough to cut through a meat loaf like butter that describes @gunaydindubai. The place has a remarkable view with the most desirable cuisine.
Best breakfast... meneman, pastirma were amazing 💕😍
Price is a bit high compared with other turkish restaurants.
I definitely want to try again
Delicious meat, very good service and lovely location. Wide range of choices on the menu, authentic Turkish dishes and very good meat. Highly recommend the kebab, steak and burger. Salads are good and desserts delicious! A little on the expensive side but the meat is super good quality so definitely good value for money.

This is no place for vegetarians. Gunaydin is a proper meatery with an amazing selection of meats and cuts at a high quality. I very rarely eat meat and when I find a place with quality cuts I enjoy it. We ordered the muhammara, minik etli pide (the small turkish style pizza), I had the spicy lamb kebabs (not super spicy but definately big on flavour) while my friend ordered the lamb chops which he thoroughly enjoyed. Service was good, kitchen looked amazing with its open concept and fresh meats and produce on display. It gets busy quickly so I highly recommend making a reservation especially if you want to sit outside to be able to enjoy the fountains. Of course there are also vegetarian options available but you don't really come to a meatery for its veggies do you?
This is a brilliant place serving Turkish cuisine and definite deserves a visit. I ordered for the avocado salata and the Chicken Shawarma doner. Speechless!!!
Great quality food, tasty and great location, but it comes at a price. The pistachio and ice cream dessert was not worth the money but good to experience the show.

Will try it again for different type of meal.
مطعم تركي جيد و خدمة متميزة.
الاكل جيد جداً و أسعاره فوق المتوسط (مثل معظم مطاعم دبي مول).
