I loved my experience here and the waiter that helped us Zahid, super helpful and extremely knowledgeable about every history of the food. 10/10.
Sultan baba iskander is a turkish cuisine on jumeira road, just visited them yesterday, and had an amazing experience, its heavenly divine , scrumptious food . Highly recommand u all to must visit them ❤
Very friendly staff, we had zahid as our waiter and he was very helpful helping us choose. Everything was so tasty, we couldn’t get enough of the fresh pitta and the Turkish pancake was out of this world!! So so yummy!!! Thank you.
All happiness depends on a leisurely food!
I had a great time enjoying this amazing spread at Sultan baba Iskander with its cool cosmos vibes from its Turkish tradional looks.
In starters I ordered Fattoush 🥗, a vibrant garden of lettuce, tomato, cucumber and parsley, topped with crispy bread mixed in the refreshingly pomegranate dressing, produced a wonderful blend of sweetness and zest👌.
In Main course i started off 🍽 with the Iskender Kebabs, the luscious lamb and beef doner slices were incredibly fork-tendered, topped with hot butter.
Loved Pillav Ustu Doner-Chicken Doner on the bed of fries served alongside rice. 🍚
Karsik Cantik- mixed Cantik , the dough is relatively thick with a pillowy crust, sufficiently cheesy with minced meat was one of my favourites. 🍕
The traditional Dondurmal Havuç Dilimi- Havuc Baklava with Ice cream🍦 was real delicious.
Loved the intricate, distinctive flavor and texture of Dondurmali Irmik Tatlisi-Samolina dessert with ice cream, having the perfect sweetness. 🍨
Thanks Sultan baba and team for having me over!
It's a must visit place to experience 🇹🇷 cuisine and hospitality.
I’ve not yet visited Turkey but my fondness for Turkish cuisine has recently grown, mainly due to amazing restaurants like Sultan Baba Iskender. Their food represents Turkish taste and their hospitality is the reflection of their culture. I left the restaurant, quite impressed & satisfied after having a delicious meal the other day. If you’re in Dubai and want to experience Turkish cuisine, head over to Sultan Baba Iskender.
A beautiful lunch today. Thank you to the staff for making us feel so welcome. Nice clean airy decor. A vast menu of choices. The doner kebab meat was delicious. Hummus and breads so tasty. My favourite was the tomato salad infused with parsley onions and balsamic. Cheese pide was served steaming hot and was melt in the mouth. A great restaurant. Faultless experience. Would definitely return !
Beautiful restaurant with amazing decor, plenty of choice on the menu, great friendly service - perfect option for dining and Turkish food - will visit again
Sultan Baba Iskander is a traditional Turkish restaurant with 4 branches located in UAE. We visited their Jumeirah branch, which amped up our dining experience by offering a breathtaking view of the Burj Al Arab.
The restaurant is located in a cosy little villa with great interiors. They also provide outdoor dining, which is a great choice to enjoy the food with a view.
Coming to the food, it is completely inspired by the authentic Turkish cuisine. With a vast array of kebabs, grills, doners, salads and desserts, we were spoilt for choice.
You need not worry about parking as there is valet parking available.
The ingredients used in each dish were of high quality and helped enhance the flavours,along with the meat which was extremely tender and juicy. Hats off to the presentation and service of the staff, as well.
Iskender Kebab is made with doner kebab. Thin lamb and beef doner slices served on grilled pita bread, topped with tomato and hot butter sauce with yogurt on the side
Mix Grill : Adana Kebab, Kebab with tomato, Lamb Shish, Chicken Shish, Chicken Wings and Lamb Chops. Juicy meat with perfect amount of spices and flavor. Served with onion salad, burgul and grilled vegetables
Chicken with Anatolian Fire Sauce : Chicken breast cooked with red capsicum, cream and spicy sauce. Served with white rice and potato wedges. It’s more of a tomato flavored chicken
Dondurmali Irmik Tatlisi: Semolina cooked with cheese in a sweet syrup served with ice cream. It’s a classic Turkish dessert. Quite thick to finish for one person, but the ice cream and semolina were the perfect match
And to balance the sweetness the authentic Turkish tea .
One of my favorite Cuisine - Turkish food

We had a lovely time @sultanbabaiskender and they have nice kids play area too.
Enjoyed the food and service @sultanbabaiskender and I highly recommend the restaurant
Ever since I visited Istanbul (not Constantinople) I've been a fan of Turkish cuisine. I could go to the many famous Turkish restaurant outlets in Dubai which cost an arm and a leg to have a meal at, but for an authentic meal with great service and fairly reasonable pricing, I'd go to Sultan Baba Iskander⠀I'd recommend starting with their traditional Rocca salad with fresh Tulum cheese and beetroot. A good Mouttabal is my weakness and the one they serve goes really well with the freshly made bread. Please try the Lahmacun which can best be described as a Turkish pizza. It's paper-thin and crispy with the freshest layer of minced meat, minced vegetables and herbs.⠀Please have kebabs for mains which are charcoal grilled excellent cuts of quality meat. The spices they use are subtle so you get the full flavour of the meat. I would highly recommend the Kesap Köfte which are butcher style meatballs with spices and served with delicious Pilav (white rice that is fried in butter). I enjoyed the lamb chops and their famous Iskander kebabs as well. For dessert, the Kunefe with ice-cream is absolutely delicious. If you want to try something more, the pistachio Baklava is really good.Sultan Baba Iskander is definitely a must-try restaurant. I'm going back there for my Ottaman food fix very soon.
I tried their grilled chicken, Lamb and Chicken doner which was so tender and juicy, served with thick potato fries, grilled vegetables and sticky rice.
Loved their mixed cantik which was juicy, full of flavor with some good amount of cheese.
The semolina dessert awed me with a surprise filling of Icecream inside. Also their signatures desserts are a must try - Katmer with Icecream and Baklava with Icecream
Lastly I ended my meal with their authentic Turkish coffee, really loved every sip of it.
So where can you get really authentic Turkish food in Dubai you may ask.... I got you boo 😉⠀
⠀
Sultanbabaiskender is one of the those real Turkish restaurants in Dubai.⠀
⠀
We started with a traditional Turkish Rocca salad with Beetroot and Tulum cheese. Really fresh and tasty. One of my favourite dishes was the Turkish pizza called Lahmacun which is a pita bread topped with tomatoes, minced lamb, onions, garlic and Turkish spices. Yummm!⠀
⠀
They still grill their meats on a charcoal grill with a unique blend of spices, goat's butter and yoghurt. Their lamb and beef Kofte was absolutely delicious and perfectly cooked served with fries and a buttery white rice. ⠀
⠀
You can't end the meal without a dessert though. We tried the Kunefe with vanilla ice cream and the baklava. Both tasted very fresh and wonderfully sweet. A perfect end to the meal 😍
A memorable dine in experience... the restaurant is location in umm Suqeim one of the best locations in Dubai.
The interior of the restaurant is Mid century modern!! The restaurant was clean and hygiene standards well maintained. They have a huge outdoor seating area, which is close with glass door coz of uae summers.
Our meal comprised of;
Iskendar Kebab - A delicious blend of doner meat served on the bed of pide bread and topped up with chillies, tomato gravy and Turkish butter
Sultan Baba kebab tray - A mix of beef and meat served in tomato gravy
Mix Pide - Kids enjoyed the Pepperoni five and I liked spinach side
Mix Grill served - That’s the best dish we can have in a Turkish restaurant it had meat pieces kebabs and chicken which was grill to perfection
For drinks we ordered
Pineapple juice
Mango milk shake
Ayran
For Dessert
Baklava with ice cream
Turkish coffee
Turkish Tea
An absolute family dine in restaurant!!
Lezzetli Yemek!
That means Delicious Food in Turkish.
And that's exactly how the food was at @sultanbabaiskender
I had never tried Turkish food before and now I am a fan completely!
Now let the Pictures speak ;)
@burjalarab is right behind it and the view was breathtaking!
Visited this authentic turkish restaurant recently and i was really excited to try their food. Loved the ambience as it was surrounded with the greenery and pretty soft turkish music playing, environment is quite calming and the crowd is pretty fancy.
Food tasted absolutely delicious, especially the bbq dishes made with fresh meat and chicken.
But here’s a part which was not really up to the mark and need improvement, The Turkish pizza’s tasted not so good and i had so much of expectations with the dessert but the sweetness was a bit more extra.
Overall everything was good,
Dishes what we ordered:
Turkish pizza
Yarpak Sarma - vine leaves
Firin beyti
Adana kebab
Havuc baklava with icecream
Pumpkin dessert with tahina & icecream
Turkish tea
Super place to be in if you are a fan of Turkish cuisine. They have a nice seating area both inside and outside the restaurant. Ambience was cozy and seats were comfortable with soothing music playing in the background.
We tried Tulum Peynirli Pancarli Roka Salaltasi, beautifully presented salad with all goodness in it. Tavuk Doner Sandwich & Tavuk Doner Durum Doner Wrap Chicken were fantastic with generous stuffing.
We even tried Kori Soslu Tavuk, its a Chicken dish with Curry sauce & Kekikli Tavuk, Chicken with fresh thyme. Both were served with white rice & potato wedges. They were brilliant & had an appealing presentation.
The food here is definitely commendable & when it comes to the taste every dish was unique & had a typical turkish touch & flavour to them.
If you are a true foodie then this place is definitely worth your visit.
Turkish food is my favorite and one of the best Turkish restaurant in uae is Sultan baba iskendar..
Their food is fresh and very scrumptious 😋.
I love their salads and sauces.
Their bread is large in portion and so soft.
Yougort kebab is perfect 👌 in taste.
Their baklawa is so delicious filled with dried fruits and so good.
Seating arrangement is good inside the restaurant it's gives complete Turkish interior design.
The outside seating arrangement is like lawn or garden.
Enjoy delicious Turkish food with great ambient.
Must try their food, everything is so tempting.
I couldn’t ask for a better weekend dinner. It was a delightful dinner we had at Sultan baba Iskendar .
Located on the #jumeirahroad at #ummsequiemdubai , @sultanbabaiskender is all set to satisfy your Turkish cuisine cravings. They’ve got a spacious indoor & outdoor seating area, with a beautiful #burjalarab view.
And the best part of dining here is the “ valet parking” . It saves us from having to look for a parking place and prevents a longer-than-necessary walk. It also allows us to get inside more quickly and avoid inclement weather. Mostly, though, it makes us feel important, which is something we all enjoy! And the our little ones are not left behind. They have a cute little play area for kiddos , to make their experience memorable🏟💛💖🤸♀️
🇹🇷They serve the best authentic #turkishfood from healthy salads, Kebabs , Turkish breads, pizzas & decadent desserts . Turkish Cuisine has always been my favourite and this restaurant is no exception when it comes to serving excellent Turkish dishes.
We were welcomed with a glass of cold & refreshing lemonade. Then we ordered the starters which included hummus , gavurdagi salad & Ezme , served with their unlimited entry of soft & pillowy pita bread.
Next up is Lahmajun also known as Turkish pizza, It makes a great appetizer.
I can’t rave enough about their very famous “#iskenderkebap “.It’s the king of Turkish Kebabs. It is also very popular around the globe too.
🥩If you’re a meat lover, you already know that Turkish cuisine is the home of grilled meats and kebab dishes. Iskender Kebab is the way of serving vertically roasted lamb meat slices, known as ‘Döner Kebab’, topped with hot tomato sauce over pieces of pita bread and generously slathered with melted sheep butter and yogurt. You can’t afford to miss this dish .
Then comes in chicken shish kebab served with rice potato wedges , rice & grilled veggies.
Followed by Adana kebab , it’s a long log kinda kebab served with bulgar rice , potato wedges & veggies.
Last but not the least we ended our meal on a sweet note & traditional Turkish style . Baklava with very famous Turkish tea . What a heavenly combo it was . Can’t get enough of the ridiculously delicious baklava with a layer of pistachio paste & Turkish ice cream.
Overall a great value for money & amazing dining experience.
Located at Umm Suqeim, Jumeirah (they have other branches too). Serving traditional Turkish Cuisine, they also take pride in using 100% natural ingredients without artificial flavourings, and I would say their food totally reflected that. The ambience is cool too and should say the staff and our server Zahid was extremely humble and polite and suggested the best of the dishes to us.
So lets get on to what we devoured…
𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐝 – Gavurdagi Salad – finely chopped tomato, herbs, nuts and topped with olive oil & pomegranate sauce was wow !
𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 – served with a nice hot bread roti which was a feast to the eyes.
Ezma – Roasted bell pepper & onions crushed with tomato, nuts, herbs & pomegranate sauce, this was quite different & nice.
Haydari – thick dehydrated yoghurt mixed with garlic and herbs
Both were perfect & delicious.
𝐌𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬 -
𝐌𝐢𝐱 𝐏𝐢𝐭𝐚 – baked Turkish pita bread, this was not on their menu but specially made to cover all the different toppings, I just loved this, must try.
𝐈𝐬𝐤𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐊𝐞𝐛𝐚𝐛 – Thin lamb & beef doner slices served on grilled pita bread, was quite good too.
𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐭 – Baklava with pistachio ice-cream
by this time we were already quite full and didn’t think we could have it, but the moment this was served and we tasted it, it disappeared within minutes..need I say more !!
So overall I would definitely rate them a 4.5/5. They have valet parking available too, do give this place a try, you’ll love it.

We recently dined here on a Tuesday night and were amazed by the interior, ambience, wall art, traditional lights. Staff was quick and service was really fast.We tried izzmet kbab, chicken charcoal, chiken wraps, fattoush and kunafa with icecrem. Portions were generous and everything was delicious. Plenty of parking outside, a must visit place.
Service 9/10
Ambience 9/10
Food 10/10
With traditional Turkish food and decor, Sultan Baba Iskender is one of those restaurants that instantly transports you to another time and place. The brightly colored woven tablecloths, mosaic lamps, and delicious mezze and lamb dishes, play area for kids.
We recently dined here on a busy Tuesday evening and were seated in the front area. Staff was very efficient and appetizer and juices were served within 5-7 mins after we gave orrder. We got to try izzmet kbab, grilled chicken, chiken wraps, fattoush and kunafa with icecrem. Portions were big and everything was super delicious.

Definitely going back there soon!
Although Sultan has been around for a decade I never had the opportunity to try it. On my quest to try something new I made my way to Sultan baba
.
I ordered Ezme, Hydari, cheese rolls and kibbeh. I loved the warm bread with the Ezme and Hydari. Such delicious dips! For main course I ordered Adna kebab and Iskender Kebab. This reminded me of my visit to Turkey. The Adna kebabs were exquisite specially when paired with the flavoured rice. The iskender kebabs sat on a bed of bread that was soaked in its juices. They were so tender and meaty.
I also liked the Doner wrap chicken. I am very fond of Turkish and Mediterranean food and being here was like being in Sultan Ahmet. Made me nostalgic. For desserts we chose baklawa with Turkish ice cream and Kunefe. I ended my evening with a cup of Turkish tea. If you would like to try something different this is the place to be. Valet parking available along with a kids play area. What more does one need! And as they say in Turkey “afiyet olsun” translated as “May it be good for you”

Guys If you are looking for some amazing Turkish food @sultanbaba is best place for you to dine in and enjoy you Turkish food cravings
Since few days I've been missing Turkish food and my trip to Istanbul. It was so much fun having Doner, Simit, Adana Kababs, Ali Nazik... in the historic city of Istanbul.
We visited SULTAN BABA ISKANDER last week which is located in the heart of Dubai, right infront of the iconic Burj al Arab and Jumeirah Beach Hotel.
This beautiful restaurant serves authentic Turkish food that you will love. It's got amazing taste just the way we had it in Istanbul.
WHAT WE HAD AT SULTAN BABA ISKANDER?
STARTERS
👉Gavurdagi Salad- This was a mix of chopped onions, tomatoes, cucumbers with the crunchy touch of walnuts and tangy taste of pomegranate sauce. I literally loved the walnuts in the salad
👉Hyderi- This was a cheesy yoghurt dip with flavors of mint and garlic
👉Ezme- you can call this as the desi tomato chutney eaten with daal. It was a sweet mix of tomato, bell peppers and herbs that gave a wonderful flavor.
____________________________________________
MAIN COURSE
👉Adana Kabab-The very famous Kababs of Turkey, we used to have them during our Istanbul trip. This was the same taste. It brought back memories. This was a spicy, ground lamb kabab platter. It was served with Burgul, onion salad and potato wedges.
👉Iskander Kabab- These are the popular slices of Turkish Doner (lamb meat) cooked in tomato sauce and tossed with chunks of pita bread. Served with yoghurt.
👉Ali Nazik- one of the best delicacies of Turkish cuisine is Ali Nazik. You will love this so much. This is basically grilled chunks of lamb meat served on a bed of smoked eggplant paste and tossed in char-grilled tomatoes.
This version of Ali Nazik was fantastic- just the way you can find in Turkey. Loved every bite of it. Loved it with Turkish bread
👉Lahmacun Turkish Pizza- This is the authentic Turkish style pizza made of ground meat and herbs . This pizza was served with fresh parsley, tomato and lemon to top over every slice and enjoy this home style pizza.
NEXT AT SULTAN BABA ISKANDER....
After a hearty Turkish meal, we were served the Turkish Tea. Every sip was refreshing. This black tea was made of Turkish tea leaves seeped to perfection.
Then we were served HAVUC BAKLAWA with Ice Cream. This was Baklawa pastry layers shaped in triangle, stuffed with chopped pistachios and layers of chilled icecream. And the whole slice was dipped into sugar syrup. What a mesmerising dessert it was!!
The taste was quite similar to the Baklawa I used to eat in Istanbul near the Grand Bazaar. I missed that Turkish Baklawa so much. It's been quite long that I have visited Istanbul. This delightful baklava made me remember those days.
It had a crispy Baklawa pastry layer and as you slide the spoon down, soft ice cream and crunchy pistachios are seen. Ohhh What a Beauty!!
I also tried the Traditional Turkish Ayran. This is the sour yoghurt drink which is salty and served chilled. The lemonade served to us was also quite refreshing.
Special mention of Mr. Zahid, a wonderful person from Pakistan, who served us so well. He was really friendly with the kids too. Thank you so much for making our dine in experience an excellent one....
Overall, it was a perfect evening with the Turkish cuisine and a great family time at BABA ISKENDER TURKISH RESTAURANT.
If you want to try turkish cuisine then try this restaurant. Their chicken, beef, lamb kebabs are so delicious in taste. I really like their kunafa and turkish tea too
One of the best Turkish food I had in Dubai. Amazing food quality and taste. Oven fresh hot bread was cherry on cake.
Service: 4.5/5
Ambience: 3/5
Interior: 3/5
We ordered:
Mix Grill: 5/5
Worth try.
One of the best turkish restaurant. If you like to have some delicious turkish kabab, this is the place. Nicely decorated, pleasant atmosphere and friendly staff. They variety of kabab, we could try only two, nazik kabab and sekandar kabab, both were well cooked and presented, i will give 4\5. Quantity is good and prices are that high. You can use entertainer.
Ideal for families with toddlers as they can be entertained for a while in the outdoor area with the trampoline and swings. And of course the delicious Turkish cuisine that never fail to satisfy our tastebuds. The hot starter bread gives you the note already!
Great service and excellent food and complimentary tea
Very flexible with offers.Friendly staff.Unlimited complimentary tea.Nice environment especially for families.
Hellllllllllllooooooooo my yummy tours friends🙋🏼😍
It's a very nice Turkish restaurant in Dubai which is one of The Best places for Turkish food lovers. They got high quality very tasty meals specially for kebab and meat lovers.
Thumbs up for them. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 They got appetizers and desserts too. Loved everything there.
They got a big menu option for all tastes .
We had mixed grills, lamb and pistachio kebab which all were very tasty and also a spinach pastry as well which we liked that too as a vegiterisn option.
They got fresh juices and yummy desserts too.
Tried their kunafa ( keneffe) and ice cream baqlava, wow loved them 💖😍👏🏻👍🏻 Friendly and on time staff and very good management. If you love Turkish food specially meat don't miss this place. It's a must try restaurant.
Second time I visit Sultan Baba Iskender at their Um Suqeim branch and I leave happy enough to return again in the future.
Although the interior of the restaurant can be vastly improved, I’m going to be judging it on the quality of their food.
Both main dishes we ordered, along with the Mezzeh, all tasted fresh and the flavours were superb. I strongly recommend the Bayti Kebab; it’s delicious.
This is one of my favorite turkish restaurants in Dubai. I love their iskender kebab and they’re also on entertainer.
This Turkish restaurant located in Umm Suqeim opposite the Jumeirah Beach Hotel is a great hangout place for big groups with obviously nice meals 😎
The seating and ambience in the open is particularly a great sight in the evenings and during good weathers. I ordered the Mutton Adana Kebab plate which is almost good for 2 people. It has 3 skewers of minced mutton with herbs grilled to perfection, bulgur 🍚, grilled veggies, and 🥔 fries. I'm not a big fan of the Turkish rice. The bread is good but goes chewy when cold so you ought to eat it hot. The service is excellent and very speedy as well.
I can't deny that this is one of the few top Turkish restaurants in the city. Absolutely recommended 👍🏼
Overall it was a good experience as the food was really good, however the ambience and the setting of the place can be better.
Definitely one of the nicest Turkish restaurants in UAE
Being lovers for Turkish cuisine, we have always enjoyed a nice dinner at Sultan Baba Iskender and the place is totally worth the hype. It is Located in Jumeirah since 2013. This place is an institution in itself serving wide grill menu consists over 30 varieties of kebabs, apart from pitas, starters, doners, salads and desserts.
FOOD REVIEW❤
So last night i visited @sultanbabaiskender and loved the vibes of the venue.It is a turkish restaurant and located on Jumeirah street 1 and has indoor and outdoor sitting arrangements.
The plus point of this restaurant is that it has play area for kids which means parents can easily eat while kids can have their own fun.
Moving towards the food we tried Fattouch,Gavurdagi Salad,Hadari,Hammus,Matebbel,Havus,Kunefe,Mixed Grill and Iskender kabab..
I am in love with the Iskender kabab(taste was divine).The food was really drool worthy.Everything was amazing in taste.
The servers were great,dutiful and helpful in suggesting us their specialised items.
Whenever we use to cross this famous Jumeirah road we already had this restaurant in our bucket list. We had heard (more assumed) great things about this restaurant. Being Turkish in origin we believed it to be the best in serving bona fide Turkish food and guess what our assumptions were just so right. Last night we visited this place and loved the vibes of the venue. It’s located on Jumeirah street 1 and has indoor and outdoor sitting arrangement. The plus point of this place is that it also has a small play area for kids which means parents can easily eat while kids can have their own fun. Moving towards the food we ordered grilled chicken, chicken shish, lamb chops, fattousch, mixed pita bread, and sultan Baba Iskander special salad with walnuts (really drool worthy), Words just can’t do the justice how delectable the food was. They are a pro in grill. We have tried grill of so many places but their chef has had the best ingredients and great taste hidden in his hands that the perfect recipe of grill touched us completely. Everything was amazing in taste. The pita bread is just like pizza (even more tasty than pizza). In drinks they had fresh juices and soft drinks. We always opt for fresh juices so ordered lemonade and orange juices. They are fresh and good in taste. Everything was spot on. The servers were great and Muhammad who was serving us was dutiful and helpful in suggesting us their specialized items. I’d give this place a 4.5 ⭐️.
Staffs are very cheerful and accomodating
Sultan baba Iskender is a famous and old restaurant in turkey. The restaurant in umm suqeim is huge with lots of seats and a dedicated play area for kids. Valet parking is available which makes dinner time more enjoyable than worrying about parking. The food is amazing and super nice staff. This place is highly recommended to enjoy authentic Turkish delicacies.
Food is delicious good service excellent service
I will definitely comeback soon to celebrate my birth day
Sultan Iskender is totally worth the hype. Located in Jumeirah, In the heart of Dubai serving the authentic Turkish cuisine in Dubai, since 2013. This place is an institution in itself serving wide grill menu consists over 30 varieties of kebabs , apart from pitas, starters, doners, salads and desserts. The best part this place is a mixture of traditional Turkish taste with a modern twist. Simply loved my experience here. They serves unlimited complimentary freshly baked, pillowy bread which compliments with every dish. A perfect family friendly place with outdoor and indoor seating area and a kids play area too. Highly Recommended!

Holiday hangover is a thing, and more often than not you always end up craving that authentic food from your holiday destination. After my Turkish summer vacation, the food memories just didn’t want to leave my palate, so I ended up doing a quick recap of some Turkish favorites at Sultan Baba Iskender.
A lovely Turkish restaurant with really good food.
Definitely try the Adana kebab and the Iskender kebab.
Loved the bicak arasi pide too.

One of our regular dine out places
Good ambiance and friendly stuff. Yum food and a vast variety of Turkish cuisine.
..........................................................
I thought this place was all hype originally because of such high ratings but I was super impressed when I visited because of absolutely the best one meter adana kebab that I have had ever! I like kebabs a lot but never loved them till I had it here. The meat was juicy and on top of this it was pretty spicy to the level that I have not tasted in other kebabs and just loved the taste. I think more than half a meter I must have finished alone as I was really impressed. On top of this also tried the turkish pide(4.5/5) and iskendar kebab(4.5/5). In desserts we loved the pistachio with ice cream(5/5) and chocolate suffle(4/5) and found the pumpkin dessert (3/5) and manti(4/5) to be decent. Service was excellent with us getting orders quickly and serviced very well. In terms of ambience there is plenty of seating, it decorated nicely to the theme and there is also valet parking available at the location. Overall superb experience and I'm very glad I visited.
Lovely meal! Especially the rice and fries. Love love love.
I was having one of those mid-week hungry runs and was craving for Sultan Baba Iskender and that is exactly where I went.
Yes, I have a huge appetite and ordered right from starters to the dessert and everything in between. Here is a list of my favorites.
Gavurdagi salad - which has a good quantity of tomatoes, onions and walnut. It’s is finally garnished with some parsley leaves and pomegranate souce. 😍
I love love bread and can eat it anytime, anywhere and anyhow. So I was obviously quite excited when I had it with Haydari which is made with labneh, yogurt, garlic, Ezme made with tomatoes, cucumber, spring onions, walnut , parsley and topped with tomato paste; Herse made with eggplant, capsicum and onion. I have to tell you my favorite was Ezme 🤤
I am a hard core carnivorous and love myself some fine meat so I obviously tried their
Cig kofte:
Pide from oven.
Lahmacun which is very thin bread with mincemeat and vegetable.
By the time I finished with the starter main course was served 👅
Manti, this particular dish was honestly my personal favorite from the whole night. It has small pieces of dough with mincemeat and had the correct amount of spice 😯
Iskender, the speciality which had tender doner with bread under, tomato souce, yogurt, and butter.
Beyti from oven which had kebab topped with cheese and pistachios.
Now for my favorite part the Dessert 😛
Katmer - trust me I will go back for this, this basically was pancake kind of a sweet thing with kymak (which is something like butter but only better) 🥳 and finished this whole eating fiasco with Baklava sandwiched in ice-cream.
Not go forget we were served by a very nice, helpful and patient gentleman - Chamel.
Overall I would rate the:
Food - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Ambience - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (lighting was bit of an issue but apart from that the ambience is perfect and amazing)
Service - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Excellent Turkish treat
What an exciting time we had enjoying some authentic Turkish cuisine from a restaurant that has strong roots to its Turkish origin, a restaurant that proudly brandish their culinary prowess, chefs, spices, herb, special ingredients, all from their root nation Turkey. Iskender Kepab, put Turkey in the food map, now finds its way into your hands by way of Sultan Baba Iskander. Located in the Jumeirah 3 area, you can get in with no much hassle. Ample wide sitting area and a separate area for more closer gathering. Good natural light fills the place in the afternoon, we went inside about twilight and it looked pleasant.
The food is awesome .. we enjoyed it alott.. the staff is friendly they have quick service.. for authentic Turkish food this is the place for it .. they have valet parking so parking the car on Jumeirah road is also not a problem.the kids play area keeps the kids busy while u are waiting for the food
It is wonderful place and I recommend anyone visiting the town to try it. So delicious food. Best Turkish, services and friendly people.
Reasonable price. Yummmmmmmy!!!
authentic Turkish food served with side dishes and sauces. Ordered the Turkish meat pizza, chicken meat balls and salad platter with hummus, tabuleh and fatoush. Fresh baked bread straight from the oven. Every thing tasted amazing and service was worth a praise.

Iskander kebab and mixed grill were really good and the ambiance was also incredibly nice. The service was also impeccable with the food being fresh
During the recent Eid holidays, we were craving for Turkish food and decided to visit Sultan Baba Iskender for lunch. Dubai has many Turkish restaurants, but Sultan Baba Iskender really stands out for its authenticity, freshness and variety. Located in the lovely Jumeirah Beach Road, Sultan Baba Iskender is a spacious Turkish restaurant offering indoor and outdoor seating area. The decor of the venue is simple, cosy and cheerful. Loved the fact that they had a kids play area. And my little girl had a great time playing.
Very good food and clean with good service , the kebab iskender is wonderful, plqying area is nice also, you can see ur kids while u r eating.
Located in the heart of Jumeirah. They are spacious with both indoor and outdoor seating. They’ve got kids play area too. Unlimited complementary bread is served. We ordered chicken and beef iskander, ali nazek and mixed platter. The chicken iskander was our favorite. The mutton in ali nazek was no smelly, which was a relief. The beef iskander was just okay. The staff was nice and so was the service.
One of the best Turkish restaurants in dubai. Perfect, fresh and tasty food. Recommended and must try especially iskander kabab dish is one of the best. Rated as 5 stars
Sultan baba is our family favourite! They never disappoint. We like their mix salad and grills. Food is always fresh and our kids enjoy the playarea also.

Once again, their Iskendar Kebab did not fail to satisfy. The pita bread perfectly complimented the juiciness of the doner and the yogurt served on the side only enhanced its flavours. Sultan Baba is our all time favourite.
This was my second visit to sultan baba iskender. My whole family loves it. We really like the service they provide. Plus there is free valet.
Have been going to this resto for the past 4 years. Very good food. A playground for kids. Either breakfast or lunch or dinner - highly recommend!
Amazing food and service. Actual authentic taste all the way from Turkey. Their iskander is the must have! The restaurant manages consistency in taste.
Very lovely restaurant with amazing dishes and grills! The waiters are very helpful and always willing to help ❤️ really they bring a real added value to the restaurant 😍
They have a nice veranda opened during winter and closed with a/c during summer
There is a playground for kids
Really my go-to restaurant, love the food and most the service 😉
