‪turquisine‬

This place is a no brainer for a hearty home cooked style lunch at a reasonable price. For AED 45 you can get a bottle of water, a red cabbage salad, a couple of pieces of bread and a generous portion of boneless chicken breasts in gravy with potatoes. The quality of food has always been excellent whatever I have had. There lamb is a must try as well. Compare this to paying AED65 for one Poke Bowl at other restaurants.

Good Turkish home-made food. Previously restaurant owner's wife was there but cannot see her any more. However, the food is good, sometimes they cook more vegetable classics of Turkish cuisine (which should be everyday, I guess, not occasionally).

This is my go to place for lunch in the DIFC. I'm actually quite surprised how few reviews there are about the restaurant - I can only put it down to the usual DIFC clientele just being in too much of a rush when they visit this place during their lunch break.

All the dishes that I have tried at Turquisine can be described as good old fashioned homely food, I would imagine cooked with authentic fresh ingredients - that's how it tastes anyways! Always plenty of colourful stews, vegetable and meat based - all very warm and inviting.

The chicken (on the bone) with black pepper gravy is soft and succulent and packed with flavour. 2 pieces for just AED 30 is a bargain in the DIFC; grilled potato strips and fresh French bread and butter are complimentary. Sometimes, when i'm not that hungry, I will order a half portion which these guys have no problem doing; making it even cheaper! In the other hand when I'm really hungry or craving some carbs, the various rices they serve are very tasty and even half a portion is a handsome amount.

The lamb they serve with boiled carrots is mouthwatering. Unbelievably tender meat, soft and flavoursome - the taste again full of rich herbs, spices and the whole dish with a vintage old school charm about it. It's a bit more expensive at AED 45 but the portion is huge, and the taste is well worth it.

Finally, the grilled kofta, not to be mistaken with the baked kofta! Often this is not on display counter (never understood why) but it is available almost every day if you request it (5 minute wait). This is one of my favourite post gym foods to eat, served with potatoes and sliced tomato and onion. The meat is sizzling when served, oozing with juicy flavours, not bland, not too spicy and best of all the perfect balance between tender and crisp.

Overall this place is rated highly by me because of its great value for money, speed of service, consistency in taste and quality, home-cooked food vibe and variety of daily specials.

Interestingly although this is described as a Turkish restaurant, the menu is quite different to what you might expect. As I said before, it seems like the sort of food Turkish families probably eat at home I'm guessing with their grandmother!

Fresh Turkish food. Been here a couple of times. Food is always good. Very well priced too. I've tried the cutlets, the chickpeas with beef and the chicken here. Always been good food.

The food at Turquisine is as authentic Turkish as it is homely and delicious. Fashioned like a small, point-and-serve cafeteria, you can tell a concerted effort has gone into disguising its mall-style, inner-building throughway location. There are a number of freshly made dishes on display which you choose from like at IKEA in DFC; put everything on to a tray, pay and then find a table to eat at. My son, back from Uni in the UK via Istanbul where he spent a fortnight with his mates, chose the Turkish Beans whereas I pointed to the Meat & Eggplant Moussaka. Whatever is not on display, yet on the menu, comes from the Turkish run kitchen in the back. I was a little miffed to find that neither of our orders came with rice, a 14 Dirham extra – not cool! That takes the cost of each meal to a steep Dhs50 and, although portions are big, I originally felt that was way too much. The truth is, whatever doubts or reservations I had evaporated the minute I started my meal. Their food is truly good. So much so that I ordered another to take home. Highly recommended. Tamam.

Waste NOT. Want NOT.

This is the place to go when you're looking for big flavors and good, hearty food. We visited during the lunch time on a week day. Being situated in a busy workplace, this place tends to be quite crowded during lunch time.

The tables here are squeezed quite close together and a long queue forms for the service area at busy times which goes through the seating area so this is definitely not the place for a quiet meal. Also, all the items on the menu are not served everyday. There are specials for different days apparently.

So one has to take their tray to the service area, choose the dishes from the display counter and pay at the end of it. This is the place for saucy gravies and meat and potato lovers. Most of the dishes were cooked in tomato gravies and looked scrumptious.

I got beef and potato in tomato gravy. Don't know the exact name as I got it by choosing from the display. You also get to have a bowl of complementary bread at service area. I got half a serving of this dish and enjoyed it a lot. Great mild Turkish flavors and soft meat. The potatoes were thick and yummy. This should be ordered with a side of rice.

Prices are similar to what other places in the same area are charging. The food is quite filling when you factor in the side of bread or rice. The dessert section looked tempting also and will give it a try some other time. Would definitely try this place again.
