One of the best experiences I had so far. Today I went to Denize in Dubai Marina. The place is so cozy, staff are wonderful and food is enormous.
We started with Quinoa Salad, Vine Leaves and Eggplant dish. For main dishes we took a grilled seabas, pide and Yogurt with Meat plate. Everything was fantastic and mouthwatering. Specially the seabas its coming directly from heaven.

Located in the prime Torch building ground floor in Dubai Marine this restaurant is one of the rare HIDDEN GEM. This restaurant serves a mix of Greek & Turkey cuisine. We were really amazed by the taste & the quality of food served to us. It was a pleasantly beyond our expectations. Each n every dish in the menu deserve a rating above 5.
The ambience is of a very nicely decorated interior with beautiful murals on the wall giving it a very cool & cozy feeling. Restaurant is very spacious with plenty of indoor n outdoor seating. The team of well trained & the courteous servers makes the experience here more lively headed my the very efficient manager Mr. Othman, his mannerisms and knowledge about the food were praiseworthy. Service here is immaculate with prompt free valet service too.
For drinks we tried the Forest slushy, it was out of the world experience. We were mesmerized by the blend. The Watermelon Martini was another killer served in a beautiful martini glass. The Cucumber Gyalinos was the healthy option with small chunks of cucumber mixed with goodness of pineapple & green apple juices leaves a very lasting taste in the mouth. A perfect cooler during summer.
To start with we opted for 2 salad, Super food & the Rainbow salad. Super food had goodness of everything that can be healthy, its a full meal in itself, the dressing itself is mindblowing. The Rainbow salad is a visual treat by itself with the colours of the rainbow reflecting due to natural colours of fresh mint, dill, spring onion, radish, carrot and infused with pomegranate molasses dressing.
Mushroom Shrimp, is the real Showstopper. This is the soft and very succulent shrimp & mushroom served on a bubbling sizzler plate, it is very absolutely relishing and must be consumed when hot. Mains we ordered for Grilled salmon served with salad n mash potato. The salmon was fresh and well done, very lightly marinated making it very delectable.
Now for the last surprise of the day, the Sea bass Saute. It was dish prepared in very thick n creamy sauce, I have never tasted such brilliantly prepared fish cuisine, hats off to the chef who crafted it flawlessly. Must have !
For dessert we had After Midnight, its a chocolate hazelnut tartuffo, topped with very scrumptious Raffaelo sauce and a very fresh Strawberry. This combo of chocolate and the Raffaelo sauce was truely a killer and my most favourite dessert. After Midnight is a must have for all dessert lovers.
Manager Mr.Othman & Odil our server were very polite and courteous, their efforts made us leave the premises with a smile on our face. It was my first visit but my praise says about my experience there. Will definitely revisit. Very Highly Recommended!!!!!
If you like to have some sea food then this is the place.

I’ve been told that this restaurant has the best Turkish breakfast in town. But I’ve been so busy plus the the locked down, thus I wasn’t able to visit. Today, I had the chance to have Turkish breakfast here as I am nearby. And behold, the hype about how good their Turkish breakfast is true! Their one person Turkish breakfast can be shared by 2 people! They also have the best menemen in town! Their Menemen is so good that you can taste the freshness of eggs and tomatoes! I have tried most of the Turkish restaurants breakfast, but Deniz Turkish breakfast is really good! It’s just too bad that the one person breakfast didn’t come with Kaymak. I’ve been told by the waiter that it’s only available for 2 person big breakfast meal. Unfortunately the big one is too much for me and my friend. The price also reasonable, with this one person breakfast and additional Menemen, plus unlimited tea will only cost 87AED, additional 19 for big local water. I’m happy with the breakfast, the Menemen, the quality of service here as the staffs who served us were really accommodating, the Filipina lady and the Kenyan guy, Daniel, I guess. Plus the reasonable price is also amazing! It won’t break my wallet! 😂 so I’m giving this a 5 star for my experience today.
Will try to come back for their other menu especially the pides, and I hope I won’t have to edit my 5 star rating by then! 😉
Lovely interior in the middle of Dubai Marina
Service was very good
They also have a nice outdoor seating area
Appetizers were very good, we really enjoyed the beetroot hummus and the shrimps with mushrooms
They serve freshly squeezed juices as well.
Prices are reasonable
It’s called Kereziv with Labne which is a mix of celery and apple with labne and topped up with walnut. It was so tasty and you will not feel that you are eating a labne 😉. I must have a salad when I am having my lunch and dinner and this Superfood Salad is very highly recommended. This dish is a must order.
Great and very generous seafood place, actually the best sea bass I had so far in Dubai , the grilled salmon is too. And don't miss their lahmacun, it's waw. As for the service Daniel was perfect they deserve the 5*
so far the best Turkish breakfast in town!!!! The Staff, chefs, restaurant manager is all awesome ! Turkish tea is amazing and breakfast is a must to try but if you are going during weekdays you can also check out the business lunch menu :)
Deniz has very welcoming and attentive staff, warm atmosphere and, of course, fresh and tasty food. This is my go-to place in Marina for a healthy meal and a relaxed atmosphere at any time of the day! Perfect place to come with family or a group of friends for breakfast or lunch.
Marina, Dan and other staff always welcome & attend to guests with a smile! Prices are very reasonable for the type of meals and service you get.

Went with no expectations but went back the next day for more.
Breakfast is lovely as it is all i have tried so far. Prices are fair and decent compared to other places. Food is really authentic. Presentation is good, too. Service is great i must say.
I had cilbir as i love it and after first taste, i was transferred back home, it is just like my mother’s. Garlic in the yoghurt is just right amount which is hard to get right but for me that is what makes the whole dish. The oil on top, over all the look of the dish is how it should be as well, really appetizing.
Menemen is how it should be done , too. Delicious. Even my pickiest friend could not fault the food and the service. I also have seen the breakfast for one being presented the tables around and it looked so good and at that price it is unbelievably generous portion with sweet and savory selection. Great for sharing between 2-3 people easily.
Service was impressive in both days. Our tea glasses were never empty. Empty plates were taken immediately.
If anything, i have to say, could be improved is music. I thought selection is very random. But very very minor thing.
Was very surprised and pleased to see how good food was and sure will be back for more as i heard they are very good at seafood and mezzes as well.
If you want to eat a nice fish, this is the address. Good prices and nice atmosphere
Tek kelime ile lezzet fırtınası! Harika bir yer mutlaka uğrayın. Fava,şakşuka ve hele o deniz levreği
As a Turkish, i can said that it is one of the most delicious Turkish food I have ever had in Dubai. Mantı and Çöp Şiş are absolutely delicious! Alice in wonderland is also perfect finisher. Nice music,Kind service, good prices. And off course complimentary Turkish tea! All the best thank you Deniz Team!
Great relaxed ambience and head chef Ibrahim prepared a fantastic Blue Fish main for us- tasted very good! Fish soup Alcorn very good. Staff attentive and very friendly.
Highly family-centric restaurant and a very warm atmosphere. The staff is extremely friendly, especially their Manager Maryna was very accommodating. No parking issues either, swift valet service at the door. Now, to be precise, this should not be confused with Greek or Balkans food. This is more of an Aegean cuisine. Full review on the link below.

Probably Deniz is the best Turkish restaurant in town. I have tried many of the dishes in their menu, all tastes are authentic. Thanks for your existence.
I just moved to marina so i'm trying the restaurants around ... deniz is absolutely amazing the people there are so nice and welcoming the food is good i loved the kofte and the souvlaki was ok then rice budding as dessert (not pictured) was so refreshing plus the turkish music and songs so amazing vibes loved it
Best Turkish breakfast ever! All ingredients are so fresh and tasty. Interior is very nice and staff is so welcoming. As a regular client, I recommend this place to everyone.

As a Turkish who loves to eat I visit all Turkish restaurants in town. Some have nothing to do with authentic Turkish food with no chefs from Turkey, some only focus on meat because it is always a hit; but it takes a certain understanding of food to know that Turkish food is not just kebabs and stuff. Deniz Restaurants takes a risk by bringing the rare Turkish delicacies here, making them sub par would be a disaster to trained stomachs. But they simply accomplished the task of preparing regional dishes the way they are done in Turkey.
The items they have on the menu are all from different regions of Turkey which means you have to travel to have them the way they are supposed to taste like. Manti with kesh cheese is mid Anatolian while lahmacun is eastern and zucchini flowers are Aegean, To be able to enjoy them made this well all in one place is not really a possibility in Turkey, let alone Dubai but Deniz did it, everything is delicious.
We had a chance to try different mezes and while all tasted amazing, atom was out of this world. Manti is a must, I am a manti aficionado and it was one of the best I have ever had and I had hundreds. Cop sis had lamb cubes melting away in your mouth, not chewy. not hard, just little parcels of flavor. Zucchini flower dolmas are hard to found in Turkey, considered a real delicacy only a handful of Aegean towns master, yet you can have them here, right in the middle of Marina. And I have two words to say about the honey almond souffle: culinary masterpiece! Everything washed down with the spiced sherbet made in house which reminded me of old Istanbul, food so good that makes you reminisce is amazing food.
Long story short. if you have not visited Deniz yet but contemplating to do so, just go, you will be transferred to a small Aegean taverna with white&blue decor, old fishermen returning with the catch of the day and sun setting on the horizon, day slowing with cool sea breeze and a decadent dinner...

Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking to have a taste of Turkish cuisine in Dubai. A restaurant deserving of 5 stars without a doubt.
İf you want to taste real Turkish breakfast u have to try this restaurant.from 6 years (and im Turkish) i ate most delicious one on there.try sojook and menemen.and prices are not crazy like others.
Perfect breakfast! Feels just like home. Stuff is constantly smiling, probably because of the good food, and they're really helping. Thanks for everything everyone, especially Daniel!
Been there few times and all I can say is that Deniz is a hidden gem in Dubai Marina . From the moment you walk in you are greeted well by their staff , served with appetizers and the food is amazing and flavorful. Big shout out to Mr. Daniel and Mr. Umit who are very courteous and helpful in every way.
I will definitely look forward to going back more and more often .
Great variety and great taste. Well done culinary team. Seafoods are irresistible as well as breakfast.
Will be there every occasion that i could find.
Absolutely recommended place, my best Turkish food experience in dubai so far! All staff is super nice; as well as the chef! Will come back soon!!!
AMAZING!!!! I didn't expect that a good surprise. I took the big breakfast and was really really really good. Yes I know 3 really but it deserves them. I recommend it you have absolutely to go.

Excellent food with very welcoming staff and good service. The food arrived quickly. The atmosphere is quite relaxing. Also a very clean restaurant and pleasant to the eye. I recommend the rose lemonade and the seafood pasta.
Mutfakta her kim varsa güzel iş çıkarıyor.Gayet lezzetli yemekler. Kahvaltısını denemenizi tavsiye ederim özellikle.Müzikler müthiş! Garsonluk da oldukça özenli ve dikkatli, Daniel’i tanıyınca siz de hak vereceksiniz bana.
I wanted to try a few things so ordered the zucchini dolma, sweet potato and Atom- which had a real kick to it and was really delicious. The combination of flavors was impressive and pleasing to the palate. The team there were also helpful, attentive and had great knowledge of the cuisine. I wasn’t sure what dessert to have as there is a wide range but Othman recommended the Citrus Pumpkin which I really enjoyed- the different textures work well and the sweetness was just right- the tahini, molasses and chocolate sauce complemented one another. It was also fantastically presented. To top it off I had the watermelon mocktail which was also lovely. Overall a superb experience and I’ll be coming back to try more!
Such a great local restaurant! Amazing food, generous portions and great flavours. We’ve had the breakfast a few times which we loved. The dinner menu has some great dishes too.
Thank you Daniel and all the great staff!
We always have the best time here. We always come here for breakfast but decided to have dinner this time round and the variety was just as good. The staff is super friendly, the food is equally amazing. Huge regards to Daniel who always ensures we have a great time!
A beautiful restaurant to start your day at. With dishes and drinks that not only look lovely but taste the best, your European breakfast morning goes just well.
We started off with Unicorn Hot Chocolate and Cappuccino. The hot chocolate is a completely unique looking drink topped with marshmallows.
Suggestions:
Breakfast:
- Sunrise Feast for two
- Herb Omlette
- Menemen
- Soujouk Cassarole
Pastries from the oven:
- Simit
- Pogaca
- Su Borek
- Tahini Corek
It's so good, you'd want to try their whole breakfast menu! Daniel was a lovely host along with Maryna. Visit them for business lunch at 55 only!
Amazing food, atmosphere and friendly staff. I highly recommend this place for its consistent high quality fresh food ...a real gem in Dubai Marina

Went to this new place in marina for a late lunch and the first thing caught my eye was the beautiful art on the wall. beside that the whole place is aesthetically designed with outdoor seating.
we were welcomed warmly, for drinks Ingot my self watermelon martini which was refreshing.
for starters we got cheese rolls which were crispy on the outside with melted cheese and just delicious.
when I saw the Turkish bread simik on the menu i knew I had to get it as it reminds me of Istanbul it was fresh and warm.
for mains we got the mushroom with prawns that came on a sizzler and it was perfect amount of sauce and spices.
we also got the chicken burger with black bun and it was just perfect with juicy chicken and cheese.
for the dessert we had the best almond soufflé with one of the yummiest vanilla icecream. it was all melted inside just too good
totally give it a try if u r around marina
Delicious food with perfect service with reasonable prices. What else can you expect? Not so easy to find but really worth. It’s definitely must try in Dubai.
To get a 5-Star rating a restaurant must have it all.. Great Food, Excellent Service, Elegant decor, Authenticity of the Cuisine & Good value for money.. I think Denize has nailed it on all fronts.. We had a great time for dinner. They welcomed us warmly, the restaurant has beautifully done up interiors and comfortable outdoor seating. We tried the Grilled Sea Bass, Kofte, Souvlaki & Gyro. The Sea Bass is their speciality and was really fresh and perfectly grilled & deboned. The Kofte's were very soft & juicy.. The other items were well prepared too. Seafood lovers must definately come & try their fresh fish. We are looking forward to another visit to try Breakfast and Mezzee's PS - with so many good reviews I'm surprised that their rating is only 3.7
First of all great food. Kudos to the chef!!! Friendly staff, they are quick and helpful. Amazing Mrs. Deniz turned this place into typical Aegean restaurant which rarely can be found in Dubai. I recommend everyone to try Hamsi, Dolma, and specially Balik Kokorec.
service and product variety is fine. If you want to have a meal that reflects Turkish hospitality and feel yourself at home, the right address is Deniz Restaurant
Lovely place in Dubai Marina. Delicious foods and great ambiance. I want to thank to Deniz team who made this place a must visit restaurant for me.
One of the best turkish breakfast in dubai , whatever I tried in the menu is delicious , and very polite stuff good ambiance.Even you can bring your pet !
Deniz is highly recommended for more reasons than one. The atmosphere is so peaceful and modern. The staff are extremely polite and enjoy being there. When it comes to the food, you can't go wrong with anything. Everything I ordered was better than the last and all our plates were empty when we left. The fresh, warm bread and dip are amazing. The seafood is very savory and the drinks were delightful. My favorites were the cheese rolls and almond souffle. Dessert is a must and is prepared to order. Nice to know they offer complimentary valet as well. #mustvisit
Best breakfast in Dubai! Everything is best quality and variety is unbelievable. You must try the set menu breakfast and order some sucuk, borek and menemen next to it. Great for 2+ people as portions are very generous. The more you are the merrier cause you can order everything in the menu 😋
We also ordered from the lunch menu, and the fish skewer was delicious.
Very cosy atmosphere with professional but friendly service.
Also a great news for dog owners, they welcome dogs at the terrace area.
Both healthy and delicious food! The best Octopus i had in Dubai, Seabass Scewers, Seafood Sizzle are must try! Salads and Turkish menu are as healthy as you can get at home. Congrats!
A nice fine dining food with casual atmosphere. The manager was very nice , we liked the valet parking concept as it was no available parking in marina
Definitely worth many more visits in the future.. Great service, we were made to feel welcome, nice atmosphere and friendly Manager + valet parking ( this is always a plus) . The food was a treat, everything we order was beautiful (super food salad is a @must try@)
This place is a gem 💎 I had tried almost half of the items in the menu. Fish, meat, chicken, pasta, filling salads, desserts... all mouthwatering. Amazing value for price. Strongly recommended. Its a shame they dont have alcohol license. It’s great that they have free valet parking service👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Tried Deniz Aegean Cuisine with my family for the first time. I just amazed and inlove with the decoration,the Manager “Marina(blonde hair) recommend us from A-Z it was amazing very professional and it was so excellent,the service was excellent too,overall great manager excellent service highly recommended.
Food is tasty and well priced. Staff is friendly and respectful. Music and overall ambiance is very relaxing. It’s a family friendly restaurant. Free valet parking makes it so convenient for us.
Do try the fishes, grilled chicken and beef burger. Oh and the kaymakli ayva for dessert. You wont regret it.
We had lunch for the first time in "Deniz" in torch tower in marina,the restaurant is so nice with beautiful painting,decoration,ambiance.
The manager approached us immediately and help us with the menu,since its our first time to try Turkish food, she recommend us for the appetizers ^^ shakshouka^^spicy labna^^cesar salad^^ it was really tasty,just lovely, for the main course we had sea bass its so fresh and yammy with great price which is not expensive, while were eating the manager asked us how is the food,the Moroccan waiter visited our table and explained to us the ingredients.after the manager suggested for us lovely dessert which has almond and ice cream and turkish tea.
I just wanna thanks all the staff and the manager for their amazing services and food, its highly recommended.

Food fest in my papillas :) the most delicious seafood in UAE. A must come for seafood lovers. You will feel Aegean Sea culture in your mouth. Close your eyes and enjoy your food:)
Lahmacun is really tasty and crunchy, recommended! Also, decorations are nicely done, reminded me a white coast village in Turkey or Greece👌
New restaurant in Dubai marina
“Aegean Cuisine”..a blend of turkish and greek dishes, a lovely place with nice outdoor seating especially in this weather ! Drank the spicy punch made fresh fruit in hibuscus water ,with cinnamon cloves &cranberry ...interesting flavors similar to a virgin Sangria!

And the Lahmacun Pide ..which was a flat bread with lamb brisket , peppers, tomato ,onion ,parsley ,garlic,black pepper, cumin and lime...
