My first time to an actual Turkish establishment. This is a decent place with good food. So I was actually taken here by my boss and since he was already a person familiar with the place we ordered on his recommendation. So we got the iskender mix, Istanbul salad and the kebab Istanbul. Service itself was amiable except for the fact that I didn't get a hot water when requested. (but we did get tea on the house so I was okay)

The food in my opinion was done well I do prefer the Istanbul kebab as the winner of the meals ordered. And in addition their bread, I have to mention was very well made. Maybe when I try more Turkish food, I would get an understanding of how to rate them better. But as for my first experience, based on taste. Excellent :)

Turkish food is always one of my favorite and Istanbul Flower is simply superb ! Great food and amazingly efficient service by staff makes this place worth visiting frequently. Kebabs, rice dishes and fresh bread besides the sweet dishes makes it a great experience. Must visit !

In Safestway shopping centre Istanbul flower or "zahrat istanbul" located in Alsafa Dubai. Very nice restaurant providing good taste and nice service. I have ordered Istanbul Salad as a starter, it is in somehow similar to the normal Arabic salad with some additional"bourgul" on it, it tastes very delicious.
As a main course I ordered "Beity Kepab" which means "Domestic Kebab or homemade kebab" it is nice delicious and presented little bit different from ordinary way that other restaurants do.
As a side dish I asked for muhammarah which is spicy paste, it is very hot and spicy but not as other restaurants would present, but still good.
An additional rice was served with the meal, I believe it is not necessary since bread was there.
Finally for desserts I ordered some Turkish sweets (photos show how I left nothing of it".


I believe this is very good restaurant to try. The staffs are very kind, friendly and quick in attending any order.
Photos below shows the dishes ordered.

We had a dinner meeting at this restaurant. 

It was my first time to taste Turkish cuisine and it was a piece of heaven (considering I am a meat person). I cannot pick which one is my favorite because they were all delicious and not too strong for my preference. Order the ice cream for dessert - it has a thick consistency with a mix of vanilla and cheese!

Though I heard the price is a bit expensive but I can say it's worth it.

Check my photos for what we had because I don't know the names.

This is my favorite Turkish restaurant in Dubai, I've been coming here since the last 10 years +.

I visited again on 17.09.2017, was delighted to meet the owner a very welcoming humble gentleman, he personally takes care of each and everyone of his valued customers, the restaurant serves delicious Turkish daily dishes and a variety of grills and the usual Turkish cuisine.

A must visit restaurant if you crave large portions of Turkish food.

If you love the simplicity of genuine tasting grilled meat, freshly baked breads and wholesome salads, this is the place the go.

A relatively small place at the Safa Park outlet but that tot
all is made over by the quality of food. The imagination with the Turkish spices is spot on and balances well with the Mezze and breads.

We ordered one Mezze to start with and a 1 kilo if mix grill. Portions sizes are good for the price. We also ordered fresh avocado shake and the signature lemon and mint cooler.

We had no place for desert but had the Turkish sweet tea at the end which balanced all the flavours.

Must visit for anyone who enjoys their meat !

The service staff are genuinely pleasant and say goodbye st the door while drizzling your palms with Turkish eau de cologne !!!

Went for Lunch and ordered mix mizze platter, stuffed vine leaves and chicken with potato and rice. The food was yummy, thought the chicken and potato were cold. It was from the daily dish but I guess should be heated before serving. Overall experience was good and staff were super friendly

I went there few days ago with my best friend for lunch. It's located behind/on the corner of the safestway on SZR (basically close to Malaya center).
We had the option of choosing from the daily lunch which covers main courses, salad etc.
We opted in for a la Carte, we ordered istanbuli kebab where we got fabulous kebab in bread rolls topped by tomato sauce with yogurt on the side. We also ordered a mixed maze plate that had hummus, mutabbal, salad, etc. After that we had the Kunafa and a sweet cake , accompanied with tea.

The food is absolutely delicious, yummy hot fresh wonderful food, we loved all of it! Very friendly staff, great service.

In summary; great good, friendly service, simple decorations as they focus on what they do best which is great food :). I loved it here and will definitely go back super soon!

Had food here last night. Its located next to mazaya center, and is tucked away on a side road. This place has the best Turkish food I have tried. The kebabs are tasty and fresh. The spinach bread to perfection. The stand out and one of the best bread dishes I have had to date is the meat bread. Delicious and just right. You have to try this place.

I've seen this place for years but only visited it the second time recently. It's a great eat out for a selection of Turkish/Arabic options, reasonably priced and good tasting too. In most places you get one or the other but seldom do you get all of that including good service.

My fresh juice drink tasted just that and I was pleased to know unlike other restaurants they don't add sugar to heir natural juice drinks.

Their cold appetisers are in itself pleasing to the palette and I suppose you could make a meal out of this alone as they serve piping hot bread.

Their Turkish cheese pastry is to die for, a bit like an elongated Manakish oozing with freshly melted Turkish mozzarella cheese. It comes with a guaranteed appeal that you just cannot resist!

Their shawarma's note the name, as in Turkey their equivalent are known as 'Doner' sandwiches again come with a fusion feel reflecting the flavours of Arabia and Turkey in one. The same again with their Shish Tawouk now this one has got to be purely.

A must try and great value for money!

Absolute MUST!!!!! (Visit only Al Safa Branch off SZR)
Beware: The other outlets are not the same!!!
This is hands down the best Turkish restaurant to visit in Dubai. If this is your first time, let the staff guide you with what to order -- don't do it on your own.
Everything tastes terrific (see the pictures)!
Yes for the location/ambience, the prices are on the higher side but trust me on the value for money.
You will not be disappointed and would become a regular patron.
I drive more than 23kms to visit this place at least once a week!

My first time trying Turkish cuisine and I am surprised how much I like it. Not a fan of red meat per se but the whole charcoal taste really enhances the flavour of the lamb dishes. The service is really good. The waiter was quite perky and had a fairly good knowledge of the menu. His recommendations were good. We ordered the Istanbul salad that had four dips - hummus, mast khair, baba ganoush and some tomato salsa sorta dip, Turkish Pastry Chicken, Iskender Chicken, Red mix grill and Kebab Istanbul. They even serve their own water. PINAR, Yasam Pinarim from Turkey. The food was absolutely delicious and I was over stuffed. All in all a lovely evening.

Istanbul flower has one of the original Turkish cuisine in Dubai so far . The ambience was very calm and peaceful. The sitting was very comfy. The service was really good too. For dinner we had Lentil soup, Doner kabab, Adana Kabab and Aryan. All of these were Excellent. The price was not bad at all we paid Dhs 100 in total. Definitely going there in the near future to try other dishes.

Side note: I love Turkish cuisine because the chef cook from their heart.

Good food at the Istanbul Flower but this place is rather expensive. You’re looking at AED 75-100 per person at least. That being said, your waiter will let you know the portion sizes are for one. The kababs, and particularly the Lamb Adana, are flavorful and expertly grilled, and the shawarmas are worth a tip of the hat. Skip the hummus here if you know what’s good for you – it tastes canned.

I have been going to this place for years and I still rate them the best Turkish restaurant in Dubai. Their food is consistently good, they have great service and its very well priced.

My favourite dishes are the mixed grill and the iskender kebab, for dessert you cant go wrong with turkish baklava and the rice pudding is yummy too!!

I was visiting a friend who lives close by so for dinner we decided to give Istanbul Flower a try. We both weren't too hungry so we got 2 meat and cheese flatbreads instead of grills.

At first I was a bit shocked with the price cause I was thinking this is going to be similar to a manooshe and those usually cost 15 Dhs max. However, when our ordered arrived I realized why the high price tag....this Turkish flat bread is quite big! That first bite was an even bigger shock....it tasted so so good! The meat was perfectly seasoned and the cheese they used was a perfect match!

Definitely getting this again!

If you are a meat lover, then do try the mixed grill , meat and cheese pastry with some mixed dips. It is served with hot and fresh bread. The portions are huge and satisfactory and the service is quick.

Upon my dad's suggestion, we decided to try out this restaurant (also, because i was craving some scrumptious kababs).
It's located in a tucked away place close to Mazaya Center so not something that got me blown away. We ordered salad and some mixed mezze for starters. The salad is amazing and enough for a huge table. Do try their vine leaves, really tasty!

We ordered the kabab but got suggested to try mixed grill- so we went along with our the server's suggestion. It got served in time and was quite delicious and I was satisfied with the food quality. We also ordered baklava in the end along with the Turkish tea to finish off the evening.

However, I was disappointed when I saw the bill and did not get charged for mixed grill but instead, got charged for each item separately. For a restaurant with no view and very average location, the price is ridiculously high. Yet, the food quality is good and maybe worth one visit.

Certainly one of the earlier entrants into the Turkish-food market in Dubai, but there are several newer Turkish restaurants which offer good value. The portions are generous, and the food is filling and tasty (provided you order the right combinations of items); the restaurant could possibly benefit from a redesign of their menu (adding descriptions to each menu item so as to help customers who aren't familiar with the cuisine order the right things) and upgrade of their décor which is pretty standard. Most of the dishes available in mainstream Turkish restaurants in Turkey feature on their menu, and the taste pretty authentic. The restaurant has maintained consistency over the years I visited and I'm very likely to go there again.

I failed to notice one thing in my previous two visits, but I did in my third. Those who decide to go here, PLEASE be careful of what you order. I'm not talking about the quality of food; it's the price! Their menu is EXPENSIVE! Don't blindly order anything you like because, when the bill comes, it will give you a mini heart attack.

My sister and her in-laws ordered the one-metre kebab platter which came with lamb chops, shish tawouk, chicken wings, and lamb pieces. Everything was individually charged in the bill - the one-metre kebab itself was for a whopping Dhs. 300, the lamb chops and the pieces were Dhs. 53 (approx.) each, and the shish tawouk and chicken wings were Dhs. 48 (approx) each. In total, that platter cost almost Dhs. 500 which is ridiculous!

-------------------------------

Went back here a couple of weeks ago. Ordered the Adana Kebab, Istanbul Kofte, Chicken Shawarma and Meat and Cheese Pastry with an appetizer of salad (large size), mixed dipping sauces and a yogurt-garlic plate.

The meat and cheese pastry was super tasty. Although the Adana Kebab was good, the Istanbul Kofte stole the show - they were phenomenal.

Just one thing to take note about - when the server offers you the mixed appetizer, they do not tell you that it costs Dhs 100. Yes, it is lovely, but it's too expensive.

-------------------------------

Came here with my family a couple of months ago. Upon entering, the restaurant was quite busy but we found a table immediately.

We ordered Chicken Shawarma for each of us and decided to try the Special Istanbul Sandwich. They brought the salad and hummus-vegetable plates first which were very fresh. Along with that came the freshly baked bread which was AH-MA-ZING! We all could not stop eating more and more of it.

The shawarma size is pretty big, so even if you are famished, I suggest one can fill you up and assuage your appetite. We were still biting into our shawarmas when the Special Istanbul Sandwich arrived. It was a massive shawarma filled generously (making it a little messy to eat). No doubt it was super tasty but we were already too full to enjoy it fully.

It's a bit on the pricey side but food is great. Would love to go back to try other options (and for more of that bread :P).

P.S. Sorry for the unsatisfactory photos. I was super hungry to click any thing decent.

Immensely popular on weekends, this place genuinely has potential. For my visit there, everything was about the freebies - the meal opened with a free salad, cut vegetables doused in olive oil. The waitstaff were friendly and attentive, once they worked out you wanted to order.

Unfortunately, my ploy of asking for recommendations didn't work well, so I had to guess my way through the menu. Every item was reasonably priced, and service is quick.

I opted for the mixed salad plate with warm pita bread and this went down a treat. The piquant chopped tomato was a good foil to the rich, creamy hummus. I probably could have done with a few more rounds of pita bread.

My randomly chosen kebab dish was less successful though - it had Istanbul in the name, what could go wrong? Well, for starters the heaping helping of yoghurt was way too much for me, I felt sorry to leave so much on the plate at the end. The chicken within was juicy and tender, but the spiced tomato paste liberally strewn on the pieces tended to drown everything out at first.

I ended the meal with what was called Turkish tea (is that a thing? it was just plain tea) in a glass that certainly looked the part.

Overall, a hearty meal for not very much money but I feel the real gems in the menu are as yet uncovered by me

I don't know how i missed to write a review for this restaurant. My previous workplace was near to this location, and when it comes to lunch I'm kind of choosy to have something good and light. Everyday i use to go to this place to grab 1 or 2 shawarma. And trust me I suggest at least try it once, you'll love it.
Though people asked me aren't you tired of having the same shawarma everyday? 😝 but i never did. And many times i driven at nights to have shawarma hehe. It is so different from other shawarma places.

I respect this restaurant and Respect is the correct word here. For many years and this chain of the two restaurants I know in Safa and Dubai healthcare city maintaining the same level of quality, service and price range in average to other Turkish restaurants. Thump up to the management. You need to build on top of that and expand.

My recommendation - have a Iskender Meal, chicken or meat or better yet ask for the mix if you're undecided. I can say this is my most favourite turkish meal (not that I've tried a lot already). The overall appearance of the place is simple, quiet and cozy. The crew are attentive and I must not forget their on the house appetiser which is really appetising.

I happened to be at Safestway supermarket and decided to grab lunch on my way out. Istanbul Flower was at a walking distance and hence decided to give it a try. Turkish food has always been a favourite. Here, they offer lunch special of Cold Mezzeh for AED 35 and a meat combo with bread for AED 45! Me and my guest ordered for both and it was indeed splendid. The restaurant offers enough seating area. A tip: Park at Safestway parking spot and walk down to save the parking fee!

Turkish food never disappoints! The kebabs here are brilliant. The salads and hummus combo they have is just so fresh! The hot breads are excellent and the meats are juicy and succulent.  

PS. There's this red sauce thingy in it, bit like a salsa sauce, it is just heavenly. I could eat that with their hot bread and hummus all day every day.

We were introduced to this restaurant by my colleague who happens to be their faithful customer since last 8 years or so.  He had praised the shawarmas so much so that , that was THE item we ordered along with a zaatar manakish. 

Where do I start with the description..... the khubz or wrap is the kind of bread I have never tasted in any other shawarmas so far. The texture was soft and firm at the same time without being elastic. The filling is mainly meat / chicken with pickled vegetables. With the very first bite, u get a delicious nutty- cheesy-meaty flavour infusing into your taste buds. Yummm.... It also seems to be quite filling. Under extremely hungry situation, I could barely finish 1.5 shawarmas.  For those who expect a little more spice in their shawarmas, please order elsewhere. The zaatar manakish also deserves adequate praise. The bread is so nice and crispy and splattered with an abundance of zaatar and sesame seeds. You could just have it as starter. 

The service is really quick and the ambiance is not bad either. There are ambient parking spaces right in front of the restaurant as well.

This is by far one of if not the best turkish restaurants in dubai. Their bbq platter is quite amazing and iskander is one of best out there. The salads are a bit steep and they put it on ur table as soon as u sit so beware they are not free. Highly recommended.

Dolma... Dolmaaaaaa (Stuffed peppers)

I loved this place ever since I first visited it in 2006.

We had a war going on in Lebanon and this place gave me some comfort food. 

It still has the same effect on me now, as the food is very tasty at very competitive prices.

I recommend the Dolma and the Shawarmas.

I can say they are the best turkish restaurant in dubai. They have the authentic & traditional food from turkey with highest quality. I've tried many dishes like iskandar kebab, mix grill, meat pastry, hommos, borgul. All of them were fresh and had amazing taste. the grilled dishes are amazing, once you try, you will feel how fresh is the ingredients. they also have different daily turkish dishes which are also amazing.

Had never heard of this restaurant. But had a few friends raving about the food here, so decided to give it a try. I couldn't believe it was right next to the Safeway supermarket on sh zayed road, as I hadn't ever noticed it before. Coming to the food we ordered the Spl mix grill, Mix mezze and the mix grill. In hindsight we should have ordered the Iskender instead of the mix grill. Overall the food wasn't too bad. The mix mezze was different from what you usually are served at Lebanese joints, great with the hot breads. Meats were nice and juicy cooked just right. Will definitely be back to try the Iskender again.

The salad was simple and had a light, refreshing dressing. The bread was soft and fluffy, the meat tender and juicy and the rice had a light hint of spices. The whole meal was a great combination and came in a sizable portion big enough to share between four people!

This place is a heaven for lovers of Turkish food. I've been coming here for more than 10 years and never found that the quality has changed. Superb as always. I Love their Iskendar kebab and shawerma. A must try.

I really enjoy eating here as the food is incredible. The restaurant decor isn't great and the prices could be better but the food is awesome. It was so good that for a month i would come here for lunch at least 3 times a week and enjoy myself every time... The only problem was the food was really heavy! I mean i gained some serious weight (though i enjoyed doing it) and therefore i had to stop. So once in a while i come back here and i only wish the food was a little less fattening!

I have lived very near this restaurant for quite a few years and occasionally shop at the supermarket within which it is located. I always used to wonder about it and frankly thinking that it was just another hole in the wall, I ignored it. I was with a friend and one day we were wondering where to go and eat. He has been a long time Dubai resident and he always finds these small places where they mostly have great food. So, from the other end of SZR we ended up here. I have to say that they do a great job and when you are eating or looking a t the kitchen you find everything surprisingly very clean. The chicken wings, breads, salads and daily specials are all fantastically made and well proportioned. This is one of the little ones here in Dubai that we should be proud of. It is consistently good in the three years that I have now been eating there and take away and not once has their quality dipped.
