Review ‪a La Turca Restaurant‬ - دُبي

مطعم بوفيه متنوع بالاكلات التركية. واجواء مميزة واطلالة على المسبح مباشرة. وطاقم عمل مميز وخدوم جدا.

السوشي راااائع والخدمة حلوة والمكان هادي ورايق في اعتناء بالتفاصيل

مطعم خمس نجوم. أجواء مميزة وقائمة من المأكولات التركية على افضل ما يكون . خدمة اكثر من ممتازة والوجبات التركية الشهية بانواعها سواء كفطائر أو مقبلات باردة او وجبات رئيسية إضافة تتوافر محطة الشواء توافر أنواع المشاوي من اسماك ولحوم حمراء وبيضاء. من سلبيات على الرغم من أن سعر البوفيه عالي نوعا ما إلا أن عدم توافر المشروبات يمثل نقطة سلبية. اتمنى ان يضاف ركن مخصص للمشروبات التركية الباردة كاللبن وشراب القمر الدين وغيرها إضافة إلى توفير القهوة التركية الشهيرة.

تجربه جميله وفريده من نوعها حبيت تنوع الاكل

(تمت الترجمة بواسطة Google.) يحتوي هذا المطعم على لمسات تركية في جميع أركان المطعم. يتم تقديم الطعام بسخاء. يوصى باستخدام زاوية اللحوم الطازجة حيث يمكنك الاختيار من السمك واللحوم والدجاج لشواءها طازجة. الأشياء المطبوخة مثيرة للاهتمام إذا كنت ترغب في تذوق المأكولات التركية. الطعم ليس هو نفسه الذي ستحصل عليه في الديك الرومي لأن المكونات الخام مختلفة. لكنك تحصل على شيء قريب جدا الجزء الحلوى مثير للاهتمام وسقي الفم. إنها مجرد ملاحظة للمطعم بأن جميع حلويات الفستق بالكاد تحتوي على الفستق (التعليق الأصلي) This Restuarant has Turkish touches at all corners in the Restuarant. The food is generously presented. The fresh meat corner is recommended where you choose from fish, meat, and chicken to freshly grill them. The cooked stuff is interesting if you want to taste Turkish cuisine. The taste is not the same that you will have as in turkey mainly because the raw ingredients are different. But you get something very close The dessert part is interesting and mouth watering. It is just a note for the Restuarant that all pistachio sweets barely contains pistachio

(تمت الترجمة بواسطة Google.) بوفيه عالمي جيد بلمسة تركية ، يمكنك اختيار اللحم الطازج والأسماك والجمبري والدجاج للشواء من أجلك. يمكنك طلب لحم تركي وعجين (لحم في خبز) وإسكندر كباب على طاولتك ، كما أن لديهم تعرق تركي والعديد من العناصر ، كن مستعدًا للحصول على بعض الوزن بعد هذا العشاء :) :) إذا كنت من دبي ، أوصي بتجربة هذا بوفيه (التعليق الأصلي) Good International buffet with Turkish touch , you can pick fresh meet, fish , shrimps and chicken to barbecue for u . U can order Turkish lahm be ajeen ( meat in bread) and iskandar kabab to your table , also they have Turkish sweats and many items , be prepared to get some weight after this dinner :):) if you are Dubai I recommend to try this buffet

(تمت الترجمة بواسطة Google.) مطعم لذيذ جدا وواسع. إنه مطعم على طراز البوفيه ويقدم الكثير من الأطباق المختلفة. قسم السلطة رائع مع العديد من الخيارات. هناك محطات حية مختلفة بما في ذلك قسم المعكرونة. بالإضافة إلى أقسام الحلوى المختلفة هناك قسم فاكهة منفصل. الخدمة مهذبة وسريعة للغاية. المنظر رائع. هناك خيار للبقاء في الداخل وشبه في الهواء الطلق وداخل المنزل. بالإضافة إلى الإفطار والغداء والعشاء ، لديهم غداء يوم الجمعة مع ممتاز. إنها المرة الثالثة التي زرت فيها هذا المطعم. (التعليق الأصلي) Very delicious and spacious restaurant. It’s a buffet style restaurant and served plenty of different dishes. The salad section is great with many choices. There are different live stations including pasta section. Additional to the different dessert sections there is a separate fruit section. The service is very polite and fast. The view is brilliant. There is an option to stay indoors, semi outdoor and indoors. Additional to breakfast, lunch and dinner, they have a Friday brunch with is excellent. It’s the third time I have visited this restaurant.

The food spread wasn’t really turkish and there were a couple of items that were turkish you can say. Disappointed as i was expecting something good. <br/><br/>Staff not really attentive even though there weren’t many people in the restaurant.

One of the most lovely restaurant I have visted in dubai. Excellent buffet. Variety of salads. U can pick fresh meat and shish taouk and grill it in only few minutes. Dessert buffet is one of the best in dubai. Friendly stuff and professional managers

This place is exquisite. I don't remember enjoying a Turkish cuisine that much in last few years in Dubai.<br/>- Man'ousha is best i tried since decade.<br/>-Salad bar is rich with vicarious selection.<br/>- Staff is super friendly<br/>- Ambiance is casual and fair<br/>- Desserts is my benchmark from now one till someone nominee a better one.<br/>-Live cooking corner is having a mouthwatering kofta, very recommended in medium well cooked.

We went on a Thursday evening with our kids and family for my birthday. The staff were excellent, I even got a surprise birthday cake! There was an excellent selection of pastas, salads and desserts. Best was the Sushi and fresh beef/ kebabs which you can chose and then have freshly BBQd. The Chef came and greeted us as well to make sure everything was perfect. Highly recommend A La Turca, the food and staff are amazing.

To start off with the food, it was amazing, various cuisines that were all amazing. As for the staff they were very friendly and fast. The ambience was amazing and its a cozy restaurant. But without the enertainment card i wouldnt have afforded it😂😂😂😂 worth every penny and recommended

I love this place so much.. ambiance is wonderful, i had a great time talking and spending time.. Awesome seafood choices, so much in love with their food choices.. i love this place snd surely will come. <br/><br/>

Amazing place for real authentic turkish food...one of the outstanding ones i visited so far from good to their services...<br/>The grills and kebabs were perfectly cooked and tender....<br/>For turkish food lover definetely a place to drop by and taste their food and enjoy the atmosphere...<br/>The service is good and the welcoming definitely warm which makes u come back again....

Amazing location. 4.8 <br/>In general, the food was tasty and had a lot of options to choose from. Also, loved the grill corner. Would give that a 4.5. <br/>Very reasonable price for the quality of food.

Never go here! For a whopping 230 AED per person, A La Turca does not serve what you should normaly expect at this price. For a turkish themed restaurants and 230 AED I would expect to see: shish tawook, adna kebab, manti, borek, pistachio baklava, turkish ice cream, pide, sis kebab, dolma, etc. Unfortunately, these were all missing. The food available tasted good and service was great but turkish food variety was really bad, I would recommend to go any other turkish restaurants.

Very delicious and spacious restaurant. It’s a buffet style restaurant and served plenty of different dishes. The salad section is great with many choices. There are different live stations including pasta section. Additional to the different dessert sections there is a separate fruit section. The service is very polite and fast. The view is brilliant. There is an option to stay indoors, semi outdoor and indoors. Additional to breakfast, lunch and dinner, they have a Friday brunch with is excellent. It’s the third time I have visited this restaurant.

The quality of service was disappointing, cold food, normal meat displayed in open air, poor salad quality taste. This resturant was managed by Turkish stuff it was good before. I don't have idea why the indian food took place in this restaurant and th chef is taking care of ISKANDAR the taste was too bad and super cold.<br/>I based my review on the previous experience in the same restaurant.

What can I say about a la turca! Just one year ago it was my favorite brunch spot or any weeknight buffet spot... however in last year the quality has just come down significantly! The grilling station with poor selection, the salads that used to be heavenly are just average, the cheeses that used to be very Turkish are now just the usual you find in any buffet, desert (no comment).... even the cooked authentic dishes seem to have lost some points in authenticism and quality preparation.... this restaurant may surely find its way back to my favorites but based on last three tries the trend has been very clearly negative. Still very good service and a solid lahmajun. I hope it gets back to its days of glory!

Really disappointing...i am currently having my dinner here but half of the dishes are unnamed...food is cold or just warm and over...feels like sitting in a cafeteria as we have been seated outside. Its just 9pm..there are no soup bowls...no cutlery

The hotel is great, the resturant is decent ... the receptionists are friendly, waiters are good ... but some negative points made me really upset.<br/><br/>1- Everytime I ask the chef if has something he was replying with some anger<br/><br/>2- When I called them for reservation, I asked if they have a bbq beef that night and they assured that they have, but when I went there I found that they have only sea food and I don't eat sea food<br/><br/>I wish I had a better experience there.<br/>

Well i was checking the reviews yesterday before i booked. Few comments made me hestitate for a moment. But i decided to go anyway. And i am glad that i sticked to my plan. The place is fantastic. Food is delicious and spread all over . Very nice service and very polite waiters. I would definitly bring my friends next time they are in town.

One of the best international buffet menu, and the biggest too, live cooke station, variety of choices, i love it and always love to go there..

Poor Buffer, terrible place, food never refilled, not tasty and nothing to do with the Turkish food. Good for groups to eat fast without focusing on quality...

Came to A La Turca with my wife for dinner on Monday evening<br/>All in all experience was way below expectation and below a 5 stars hotel on the palms<br/>The selection and variety of food was extremely limited and for a while we thought we were scammed the value for money does not worth what you get<br/>Dont be fooled with pictures you see posted on zomato plus the attitude of staff is almost for. 2 stars place

First time I’m trying Turkish food . And to ma surprise it’s amazing . Well a lot of variety to choose and eat from .. wat I personally loved is the meat section which my family loved it with live cooking ... as it was a Thursday the place was a bit bc . Still staff was very helpful and manager was also taking rounds to check if everything was going smooth .applause . 👍🏼

Went for Saturday brunch, staff was amazing especialy Mr. Mustafa who welcomed us so friendly and visited our table to make sure everything is ok. Food was superb from live grills station to turkish sweets and live entertainment.<br/><br/>It is really very nice place and would love to come back again. Thank you very much

One of the best buffets that I tried in Dubai with difference<br/>I was surprised because I read some negative reviews on this place but when I went there everything was perfect<br/>The spacious seating area, the delicious food, and the amazing service, perfect!<br/>There variety of food was huge, different kinds of salads, appetizers, meat, chicken, and plenty of seafood.<br/>We enjoyed every moment and will visit again for sure.<br/>Special thanks for the chef taking care of the pastry and shawarma section, he was very nice to prepare for us a beautiful plate of Iskender Kebab, and some Lahmacun as well, he is one of the reasons why I will visit this place again and recommend to a lot of friends.<br/>Highly recommended on a Friday night.<br/>

Best Brunch ever specially their BBQ’s.. amazingly Delicious and the Service was extremely beyond expectation.<br/>We will surely be back in here .. To Chef and To all the people behind A La Tura .. Thank you for the wonderful and warm<br/>Welcome..

It was a great disappointment visiting A la turca restaurant at Rixos the palm after weeks of trying to get reservation<br/>Starting from the unprofessional greater who was very aggressive to the live cooking station where the grill man who couldn’t grill my food properly and instead he handed it over to me confirming it’s cooked<br/>Upon returning to my table in found that the food was uncooked and the seafood was still kind of raw<br/>I called the manager who was in hurry to get the matter sorted<br/>The respectable person was chef Sameer who insisted to make it up and re offer me the food well cooked. He is a world class type of chefs who demonstrated a real example of customer centric <br/>Even the ice cream station had a very inpatient staff who answering my question about which flavors he has in very rude manner <br/><br/>I strongly believe this is the first and the last time for me to visit this restaurant

Hotel is very nice but the restaurant is super rated moreover they didn't apply the cards offers although that day was a weekday worst experience I had in Palm

We used to love this place. Have been several times and took all visiting friends and family. Used to feel like we were in a very nice / top Turkish buffet. We were shocked yesterday the standard had dropped significantly and will not be going back.

Ordered a branch in A La Turca i regret very much for such choice. <br/>Buffet and choice of food is 1 out of 10.<br/>the quality and recipes are definitely not up to 5 stars standarts.Very poor menu. <br/><br/>huge queue of naked or semi naked people who does not even bother to cover their cellulite while having a lunch in the restaurant - and management allowed this.<br/>we were placed next to automatic doors leading to smoky grill station - where smoke and heat was an additional accessory to all what we saw there.<br/>Ordered sparkling wine, got a reply that it is not availiable and will be replaced by housewine( 2 times cheaper) however got different price - for sparkling one in the bill by the end and waitress was trying to convince me that it is same same mam. <br/>Wasted my day,will never come again, highly not recommended for all friends .

It is an overrated restaurant , ambiance is very normal , fool spread is Ok nothing special . <br/>You have to wait to enter even if reserved because it is the same restaurant serving dinner for hotel guests , so do expect less than ordinary service , not suitable for any kind of celebration.<br/>Good only if you r staying in the hotel & going to your normal dinner . Nothing special . <br/>Most of the places to sit is with weak split A/C units . <br/><br/>

Nice Turkish food ! <br/>A la Turca menu has a lot to offer and buffet is huge. You can choose your raw meat and it has a grill station outside where you can decide if you want your meat to be cooked on point or not. <br/>A bit disappointed by desserts but it worths going back again. <br/>

Variety of food, steaks and Shawarma could be better. Over priced compared to other 5* restaurants . BBQ options are limited. Loved the appetizers and beef pie

I went to this restaurant on thursday dinner but I was surprised as I heard much positive reviews but in my opinion it is just overrated restaurant as the food spread is so normal and I didn't find something impressive in it<br/><br/>Otherwise the food was good and we loved the grilled kaftah and chicken<br/><br/>The service was good<br/><br/>It is 230 per person not included any drinks<br/>We ordered water bottle which was 30 dirhams<br/>And the ambience wasn't as we expected as they have a closed area but with spilt units for cooling<br/>

اولاً احب ابدأ رأي في موظيفين المطعم ،، لقد كانو بشوشين جداً وسعدت بتعاملهم الراقي جداً والمرحب فيه ايضاً ،، ثانياً اندهشت بالمأكولات المتنوعة لجميع الفئات والشيء الذي لفت نظري وهوه الجديد بنسبه لي من خلال خبرتي بزيارة المطاعم المختلفة اني وجدت لحوم نيه طازجة ومتبتله بجميع انواعها وقطع اللحم الطازج للشوي على الفحم ،، كان الاكل لذيذ جداً واندهشت بكميات الضيافة التي قدمت لنا بحجمها الهائل مثل الكباي التركي والمناقيش التركية ومجموعة من الاكلات التركية اللذيذه ،، سوف تكون لي زياره اخراً برفقة عائلتي واصدقائي ايضاً ❤️

Amazing brunch, tasty food and great staff! Especially they have a huge Ramadan buffet with lots of choices.. The picture is from one of their brunch, it's traditional Ottoman kitchen oriented international cuisine..

They have all kinds of chilies Italian Indians Arabic <br/>You name they hav it all<br/>I liked the place a lot but their also is room for improvement <br/>Staff was a bit slow was ok service <br/>

IFTAR<br/><br/>This unique experience combines buffet style with table side preparations, inclusive select drinks and guest-selected seasoned barbecue meats.<br/><br/>You have a choice of traditional reserved table seating or a family-style seating experience.<br/><br/>Adults - 230 aed / person<br/>Children - 6-12 - 115 / person<br/>Children under 6 are Free<br/><br/>Atmosphere 4.5/5<br/>Cleanliness 4.5/5<br/>Food 4/5<br/>Service n/a<br/>Value 3.5/5<br/><br/>Overall Rating 4/5

Beautiful and excellent ambience. The buffet spread is out of this world. Excellent quality of food, mouth watering kebabs on the grill, superb hospitality and service and pretty easy on the pocket.

great restaurant that is more important than that Intertainer accepts its price is very acceptable and offers an opportunity for a wonderful seafood entrainer There are many varieties and many quantities of all kinds of food A view of the outdoor air is very beautiful I wish to visit again

If u are fan of turkish cuisine u wouldn't be disappointed here..the only prob is service, which is so slow and needs reminders...overall worth to try it...

I have been here for a business lunch. The lunch is served as buffet. The variety is great and everything tastes nice. Furthermore, the tastes are same with what it should locally be in a Turkish restaurant. It was not very crowded but service was still not great. When the weather is nice, outdoor seating is very joyful.

Not necessarily a Turkish place, more intercontinental than anything. Not bad at all with a good desert selection, however there could be more food variety. Do not get their steak as its like a tire, steak aside I highly recommend.

Tried the buffet, it has pretty good things<br/>The grill is there to cook your meat or fish choices.<br/><br/>However, for a dinner buffer, we haven’t seen anything related to Turkish cuisines except for the baklava and Donner and other limited things - which is weird <br/><br/>Taste and quality was average, and you have to pay a fortune for drinks

Review for Saturday brunch:<br/>Bustling with live music & everything Turkish. They’ve managed to bring out the theme in everything-from dishes to the way they are served. You will also find a few non-turkish dishes tagged onto as International cuisine.<br/><br/>Lavish salad bar (2 counters), Turkish tamarind juice, Turkish desserts & ice cream steal the show. Live BBQ counter is another reason to go for this buffet. Breads are nice too. Not plenty for a vegetarian but not zilch either.<br/><br/>Pasta from the live pasta counter wasn’t all that great. Don’t bother trying the 4 Indian dishes on display- Daal, 2 gravies & rice. They’re a let down. Stick to Turkish dishes.

the food is tasty with good variety<br/>no drink was included ,even water<br/>sweets were so good as well<br/>staff is friendly<br/>I am happy with this experience

Absolutely love the spread and the food served at the Breakfast buffet. <br/><br/>The staff are caring and very customer oriented. You feel spoilt for choice and flavor. Every bite is relished. <br/><br/>The venue and ambiance has you tranquil and peaceful. <br/><br/>The food is absolutely delicious

Went there for the Friday brunch, got a nice table outside, the service was good, food I must say was horrible. Meat from the barbecue was of the lowest quality, the vegetables we’re tasteless and not cooked properly. Salads were Ok. The pasta and risotto bar was good. Not going there ever again. Too expensive for what you get.

I have to say that dinner here was an amazing experience with great service and all the thanks go to Aytekin, who kindly accommodated our needs and special requests. This night was BBQ night and the chef was professional in getting the meat perfectly cooked to everyone's liking evwrytime. Was not my first visit and definitely won't be my last. <br/><br/>Don't forget to order lahmajoun and iskender kebab directly from the waiter.<br/><br/>Good job guy!!! Keep it up.

It’s a good brunch place situated in Rixos the Palm. It’s a mix of all type of cuisines. It’s a buffet place. <br/>-ambiance: good ,comfy atmosphere. Live music. Comfortable seating arrangements. <br/>-staff: excellent, kept on serving refreshments. Always inquired of anything we wanted. Good host. <br/>- food: its a buffet place, there were all kind of cuisine like Italian pasta, pizza, Indian curries, Arabic grill , pan cakes , lots more. In the dessert there were variety of cakes, pudding, kunafa, Turkish ice cream etc. the list can go on. I did try for the first time oysters and it was good. In terms of food ,it could improve. <br/>I would recommend this place.

Dishes ordered: <br/><br/>Appetizers : green salad with cheese <br/>Main course : sushi and rice + grill chicken <br/><br/><br/> <br/><br/>Cuisine : Intl and Chinese <br/><br/><br/>Ambience/ Arrangements : common and neat <br/>Pricing : worthy <br/>Quality / Quantity. : reliable <br/>Service : quick <br/>Presentation : better <br/><br/>Speciality : grills <br/><br/>Over all rating : silver medal <br/><br/>Suggestions / ideas : <br/><br/>[+] <br/>Quantity and quality<br/>Pricing <br/><br/>[-] service <br/>Take away <br/>Veg opt

Good Turkish food and terrasse. It is located in a nice hotel. Only downside is that the service and staff seemed owerwhelmed by the few tables that were occupied. We had to wait quite some time for parts of the buffet to be replenished. The staff was very nice

Saturday Brunch was Absolutely Fantastic. Specially i tried looking up but i couldn't find anything for to write bad comment. Thanks Guys You deserved this.

I visited A LA TURCA with a bunch of friends to celebrate one of their birthdays, and we went for the Friday Brunch.<br/><br/>The buffet spread is huge with a lot of different cuisines to pick from, and most of the dishes that I had were pretty good. They also have a love grill station outdoors, where you can pick your cut of meats and they’ll cook it for you within 10 minutes. The dessert spread is also quiet vast, but none of the things were exceptional. They have a live Kunafa counter, which I really liked.<br/>The ambiance in the restaurant is super lively, the staff are really friendly, and there is live music too.<br/><br/>We dined in with the Groupon vouchers, so the Brunch was really good value for money.

Went there for Saturday Brunch, what a great spread and food. Each and everything was delicious.<br/>Only need to concentrate more on service side and also there should be better explanation on food items.

Recently I’ve visited this amazing place A La Turca for Buffet Dinner. We thought there will be only Turkish dishes but they have great variety of international cuisines that’s amazing in this price you have so many options apart from that they have sea food live station perfect for sea food lovers. They have so many deserts also which you can die for but I am sure nobody can try all of them they are so many. <br/><br/>I have been to many buffets but this place is amazing everything was great hotel staff were very courteous. Ambience and location of this place. Overall we enjoyed our time. <br/><br/>

Great restaurant, everything was perfect, hospitality, ambiance and food, not even a single type of food we not good. The sea food life station was WOW endless lobster and shrimp along with calamari, octopus and different kinds of fish. And never ever think about skipping there Baklava station, definitely going again. And it was my anniversary so they brought us a cake and congratulated us.

Went for the brunch with some friends last Friday and I was mind blown. The place is just brilliant. The massive buffet was filled with delicious and interesting choices, the staff was super friendly and the ambience is perfect for a chilled afternoon. The live band and the lovely views are just a cherry on top.

I explored a fantastic place to brunch at - A La Turca serves not only authentic Turkish cuisine but also a variety of international cuisines. They have some amazing delicacies like grills, kebabs and mezzes, entire seafood counter, live pasta station, multiple dessert counters and so much more!<br/>The food was delish, but what I fell in love with the most was the BEAUTIFUL ambience and the hotel - it's one of the best I've been to yet! Even the drive up to the hotel along the Board Walk is so beautiful! They even have a shaded terrace which is the perfect setup for the current Dubai weather!<br/>They desserts look so beautiful and delicious! I think my favourites were some of the Middle Eastern delicacies like the basbousa - it was perfectly spongy and moist. They have SOO much to choose from - I couldn't try them all even after filling up 2 plates.<br/>Thank you Rixos The Palm for this fabulous experience!<br/><br/>Cost: AED 275 (incl soft beverages, tea & coffee) and AED 400 (incl house beverages)<br/>

Before The Man starts off with the details, he would like to mention and bring light to the fact that the hospitality he received here was beyond extraordinary.<br/>The Man was here with his entire company for our annual Christmas party. Chef Ruston and his team took really good care of us.<br/><br/>The Man was welcomed with a chilled beer accompanied with some sushi rolls. Very Tasty. What followed was even more beer with grilled lamb chops. <br/><br/>The Man had a full buffet to chose from. The highlight was the option of picking your choice of meat have it grilled to your taste right there and then. <br/>Turkey followed this, with some more beer of course. <br/>Little known fact, scientifically, beer has been proven to help push food down the belly to make space for more.<br/><br/>The Man had a couple more to make sure there was space for desert.<br/>In conclusion, the man will definitely be back here again and look forward to the hospitality.<br/><br/>End Note : If you have had too much beer and there's no space left in your tummy. Switch to Tequila instantly. It provides the same benefits without taking too much space.

A la Turka has delicious food with a wide selection to cater for everyone's tastes. The service was exceptional. The staff was very friendly and attentive.

it's a Turkish international buffet restaurant. went there for lunch. the location and the decoration are really good. a big selection of food and deserts.

Bad food and service , never going back there, booking employee was rather rude , the food was horrible and not too many choices , and it aint cheap either

great escape from dubais reality.....perfect ambience for weekend getaway....quite busy over breakfast..lavish spread.....service is good...

Instagram: EAT<br/><br/>Tried the Saturday brunch and it was full.<br/>Big selection of food and desserts.<br/>My favourite was the kebabs, and the freshly grilled grills.

Rediscover the art of Turkish cuisine with ‘RIXOS THE PALM’ at their Saturday Turkish brunch in the resort’s main restaurant A La Turca, which offers an open style buffet concept. Manned by a team of Turkish chefs, guests can expect live cooking, a selection of handcrafted beverages, and an extended decadent Turkish buffet spread.

I'm generally not a fan of buffets... however this was also below the mark. Huge selection lacking flavor. Service poor... and I don't think anything stood out particularly as Turkish. Tried some steaks... meet poor quality. Chewy and lacking flavor. Even the lamb chops cooked to request were well below the mark. <br/><br/>Wouldn't recommend!

Not at all happy with the restaurant staff and there attitude towards sorting out things for customer. More beef oriented restaurant. Take a lot of time to get drinks for you on the table, more over get them warm to you.<br/>we were a group of 16 people (3 families), I called them to enquire about there buffets and wanted to make reservation with them. <br/>They told me there buffet price is 200 for food only and 250 for food and soft beverages<br/>I informed them i will be using my entertainer vouchers, they told me they can only accept 4 vouchers at once, but then i told them since we are 3 families and all wanted to use there vouchers seperately, you can split our tables into 3 as anyway its buffet so dont make much difference, to which the manager there agreed and confirmed my booking.<br/>When we arrived at the venue, he again confirmed with me the package of 250 dhs as soon we ordred drinks and told me that he would take 8 vouchers for the same, i said yes ok.<br/><br/>but the real thing comes out at time of bill payment.<br/>now he changed his words and started to say that he would charge me 250dhs * 8 = 2000 dhs plus 50 dhs * 8 = 400 dhs(for drinks of non vouchers) which totals to 2400 dhs. Where in i was only suppose to pay 2000 dhs (250*8) <br/><br/>i was surprised that what kind of calculation is this, he said i told you the same, i said you never did this as u only offered me 2 package one with drinks and one without drinks and you confirmed you will allow me to use vouchers thats it.<br/><br/>At time of billing the manager who took my reservation had left and the staff there couldnt do anything without his approval , i along with my 16 family memeber were made wait for 30 mins till the staff there was sorting out this with his manage who was not ready to agree his fault,<br/><br/>It was not at all a happy meal for us, Food quality is average, Staff not good, Food variety is ok, Desserts were good.<br/><br/>wont be repeating or suggesting anyone to visit

When in Dubai two words “brunch” and “weekend” appear together in the same sentence every where. And now Fridays are no longer the only popular brunch day here, infact Saturday brunches are more popular with so many Luxurious hotels like  hosting Lavish Brunches.<br/><br/><br/>So Last Saturday we had our brunch which was actually a feast all the way from the land of Baklava-  Turkey. A La Turca hosts a brunch every saturday giving you a taste of most delicious Turkish food along with some poupluar International dishes like curries and pastas. <br/><br/><br/>The Buffet starts with a fresh fruit juice counter takes you to middle Eastern must have  dips like hummus and baba ganoush to name a few and to the salads where I had my favourite fattoush salad . And then takes you to the bread counter where its not just pita bread that you can use to scoop up the  chickpea delights – the bakery section is huge with so much to choose from. <br/><br/>It then takes you to the main courses with having traditional sweets and live pasta counters in the center. Basically its you in the center surrounded with every kind of food . Further it takes you to a counter similar to a traditional fruit stall and then to Chocolate fountain and to desserts and to my most favourite part of the brunch The Turkish Choclate Ice cream served in their typical fun filled style that we see around JBR and many tourist places in Dubai.<br/><br/><br/>What makes this brunch space very different is that inside the restaurant you have hues of traditional middle east and as you see out you have a gorgeous beach set with families having a good holiday time making you feel like you are actually on holiday brunch .<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>

Food was great and had a lot of variety. Even though it was a buffet brunch, they had proper main course items which some buffets do not include. Would definitely recommend the iskender kebab

Excellent brunch above expectation ! <br/>I highly recommend it and I will definitely return for another brunch again. Nice food and ambiance and the price is correct. Really worth it!

Excellent place with food variety<br/>The salad bar along with the main courses are amazing; the fresh juice counter was a nice touch<br/>The reasons why i didn't give a higher rating are:<br/>1) no curtains / sunshades for the windows; hence the sun was annoying for a considerable area of the restaurant<br/>2) the fresh juice counter is too small and orders take considerable time ; portion is too less<br/>

Where to start, service first i think - i had no problems with service it was speedy helpful & delivered with a smile by every member of staff they genuinely took time to talk to my son & seemed really interested in our party.<br/>The food was varied with many choices to suit everyone I would imagine & the desserts are fabulous,the amount of time & effort put in by the back room staff must be huge. <br/>Congratulations guys keep up the good work.

awful, not worth paying for. The chef was eating cheese from the buffet with his hands! The grilled meat is either burnt or raw. I will never visit again

Rixos The Palm otelin, kahvaltı ve açık büfe yemekleri ve brunchlarının sunulduğu restoranttır. Oldukça geniş ve büyük bir alanda faaliyet sürdürmektedir. Öncelikle belirtmem gerekir ki otel misafiri olarak kahvaltımızı yaptığımız restorantın büfesi, oldukça geniş bir alana hazırlanmış, Çok fazla tercih olanağı sunan, her birinin öncelikle görselleri ve tattıklarımın lezzeti çok güzeldi. Keyifli bir konaklama için ciddi çaba içerisinde olan otelin konsepti ve müşteri memnuniyeti odaklı yaklaşımları hemen dikkat çekmektedir Özellikle su böreği, diğer hamur ve yumurtalı yiyecekler de özel tadlar. Büfe nerdeyse brunch çeşitliliğinde. Büfe malzemeleri çok kaliteli. Servis görevlileri ilgili ve motiveler. Cuma, cumartesi brunch günü henüz brunchlarına katılmadım ancak çeşitliliğin ve kalitenin otelin hizmet anlayışıyla uygun olacağı kesin duruyor. Güzel bir kahvalt için herşey düşünülmüş etkileyici bir mekan. Saraylara layık...

A very busy place to start with. We had to wait for more than a 1 week to get a reservation. So book your tables in advance. The restaurant has a very nice ambience and a very open seating space. <br/>The food options are enormous…lots of salads, meat and dessert. It’s a meat lovers haven. Specializing in Turkish food the buffet is vast and never ending. There is a grill section as well where you take choice of meat/fish and have it grilled. There is a small section for Indian food as well..it didn’t look very appealing though. <br/><br/>The desserts are to die for. The variety just drives your head spinning. There are tons of cakes and pastries and baklavas to choose from. <br/><br/>Just relax and rewind and enjoy your afternoon brunch. The service is good and the staff is friendly.

Been there yesterday with a couple of friends as I was celebrating my birthday. First of all the overall ambience was very nice and they had a wide variety of food options for the brunch. One thing that disappointed me was there were no selection on eggs, I guess the staff could consider adding that. The food tasted good especially their donner kebab. The baklavas are something to dive for. <br/>They had good selection on the alcohol but the service was extremely poor. We had instances where the server had to be reminded several times and he would still not bring the order. Drinks ordered at 3 were given by 4.10pm. Upon expressing my disappointment to the manager he didn't seem apologetic nor he showcased any desire to make up for the poor service. All my friends were very upset with the service and it made me feel bad on making a poor selection of place to celebrate my birthday.<br/>In a nutshell no matter how good the food is if the service is not upto the quality standards then the whole experience can be ruined.

Like<br/>My tire mar Mustafa came at 3:45 we were 25 people who paid for champagne brunch and he's telling us that his stock is out. Stop cheeting stop lying next tmw tell us don't come it's easier

Authenticity 5<br/>Location 4<br/>Ambiance 4<br/>Delicousness 4<br/>Service 4<br/>Value for money 5<br/>Must try: the kebab<br/><br/>One of the Best buffets in town. Very entertaining Child friendly atmosphere with a magician wandering around the tables and a nice kids area.<br/><br/>Very diverse menu and what stood out the most was the food quality that was excellent.<br/><br/>Cheerful and very professional service.<br/><br/>Dessert is amazing as you will be Indulged with turkish delights. Luqum and turkish ice cream... amongst other international dishes that are just made right.<br/><br/>It's a change from the regular buffet menu to u will find almost the same everywhere..<br/><br/>Not very costly compared to the deliciousness and the quality and service you get.<br/><br/>Maybe it should work on improving the kids buffet a bit more??

Been there for Suhoor, the collection was limited, few dishes seemed old. Taste was ok in general and place was rather empty.<br/>When we did the booking we were informed Shisha was available, Reaching there the waiter informed us that they are not serving it "only for that night"<br/><br/>It was ok experience, less than expected. Don't think I'll go there again, can't recommend this place

Been going there since 2014 and my recent visit to this place was 2 weeks back and simply was disgusting and disappointing. Will let the photos speak louder

I have been to A La Turca during my stay at Rixos the Palm along with my mom and sister.<br/>We had Lunch, Dinner and then Breakfast.<br/>The buffets were so varied, and the food was so delicious!! <br/>Some of the served platters were an exact replica of the mouth watering stuff we had in Istanbul.<br/>The meats of all kinds were full of flavors and cooked to perfection... <br/>I especially enjoyed a lunch dish called eggplant melanzane and don't get me started on the sandwiches I had for breakfast :')! <br/>My mom is probably the pickiest person when it comes to food and places to eat, and until this days she speaks of the nice experience she had at this place!<br/>My sister especially enjoyed the live stationary pasta and made herself a memorable Penne Alfredo for dinner. <br/>The service is 5 stars indeed and I still dream of the wonderful afternoons I had in the restaurant open area sipping on my Turkish chai.

Been there a couple of times.. Best time to go is lunch time on weekdays.. Dinner doesn't have as much options as lunch.. I love their salad bar and their starters, main courses are definitely heaven for meat lovers and everything is nice and tasty, and desserts are awesome especially the milk cake, sometimes I just go there to have it.. If you go there don't miss the Turkish tea at the end of your meal.. Overall it's a nice place to go with family or friends.. I strongly recommend it..

The Saturday Turkish dinner buffet at A La Turca is probably one of the best buffet experiences in Dubai in terms of food quality. <br/><br/>The place is huge with both indoor and outdoor seating. It is located at the Rixos the palm, at the very far end of the Island where we drove for 20-25 mins on the palm to get there. As we arrived we were taken to our table inside, but then since it was a nice weather we asked our waiter to move us to the outdoor area.<br/><br/>The salad bar was simply amazing, with a lot of selections to choose from. The bread station was also impressive, they had different types of bread available and by the smell we could tell that this was freshly baked. The taste of the plain bread was amazing, especially those small colorful ones. The appetizer station was also full of hot and cold Mezzeh. Between the salad, bread, Mezzeh, and the soup, one could get full and skip to dessert.<br/><br/>Moving to the main dishes, if you love Turkish food in general, and meat in specific, then you’re at the right place. The food was so delicious, and I’m not picking an item over another, everything in the buffet was delicious and well cooked. They had the exact correct amount of spices added to each dish, and the meat dishes had the correct amount of sauce and perfectly tender and juicy.<br/><br/>The had a live pasta station, an Egyptian chef was preparing our pasta, we asked for one with pink sauce and vegetables and cheese on top. As soon as he started with the spices you were taken away by that mouthwatering smell, and he was very generous with the cheese portion on top.<br/><br/>A la Turca also offer a live grilling station, where you choose from different options of meat and you ask the chef to grill it for you to order. We tried the kofta (medium well) and chicken tawook which tasted really good.<br/><br/>A vegetarian station was also available for those who don’t eat chicken or meat.<br/><br/>When it comes to dessert, we found ourselves out of control between the European section of chocolate cakes, cheesecakes, and tiramisu, the chocolate fountain with fruit cuts and marshmallows, and of course the Arabic and Turkish section with the best of the middle-eastern sweets. We spotted an ice-cream car at the corner but we had no space left for anything else to try. Everything in the dessert buffet was delicious, fresh, and presented in a very elegant and beautiful way.<br/><br/>The service at A La Turca was very good, with all the staff welcoming and ready to assist. The only downside however is that since the place was busy we found it sometimes difficult to get a hold of a waiter when we needed one, I had to leave my table and go ask for something myself.<br/><br/>Price per person: AED 200 <br/>Serves alcohol: Yes<br/>Best for: Business, Friends, Family<br/>Parking available: Yes, complimentary valet at the hotel<br/>Vouchers accepted: The entertainer fine dinning

Went for dinner buffet and it's really good and worth the money! <br/><br/>So much food and the grill station is perfect! From meat to fish! The sweets are amazing! Being a fan of Turkish food, A La Turca is my happy place! I love the cold mussels, the pide, the shawarma, and lots of mezze! <br/><br/>This is one of the restaurants ive been too, that I stopped myself in taking photos as I want to enjoy my food!

Very bad experience tonight , I was expecting a 5 star restaurant in Rixos The Palm for my Valentine Day and we arrived inside were the restaurant has bad smell...even if the buffet was there at the entrance....we informed the staff that we reserved for two people and they give us our table not ready and dirty. After few minutes arrived the Manager to clean our table and very politely apologized for the situation because they were very busy... I was already very abashed cause I was thinking it was more romantic restaurant...after few minutes arrive a guy to set up a table and put a water in our glasses... then me and my wife we was very confused cause no one ordered that and nobody give us a menu... so my wife stop a waiter and ask for a Menu...And the waiter inform us that we need to pay 200dhs for a buffet each and beverages are not included!!!! So why they give us a water that we didn't order?? And why when I called in the morning for the reservation I ask if was a buffet restaurant, cause I saw the pictures in Zomato and the staff told me there is a Menu also! ??? So finally I e just left .... we don't like the place at all and we just moved in an other option...

Absolutely loved the place! Good food, great service! A big shout out to Mr. Shabbir for taking such good care of us. Thank you so much for making our afternoon so memorable.

Went for the Saturday Turkish dinner on 28th Jan and we absolutely loved everything about it.  From the salad bar, to the appetizers, the bread station, main courses, and desserts, everything was so delicious and tasty. I'm a bit fussy about food, but let me say that this was one of the best buffet experiences I've been to in Dubai in terms of food quality and variety. Loved the pasta at the cooking station, so yummy, and the live grill station as well. Every single dish was a winner. A must try in Dubai, i'll definitely go back!

i went for the dinner buffet 2 times before and i was really good . grill station is perfect many choices of salad and new types of "dolma " . dure i 'd love to come again

It takes you about 25 speed bumps and 30 mins to get to the very end of the Palm to A-la Turca, but it's quite a pleasant journey is you are not in rush and not starving much. The restaurant is quite spacious and pleasant. The techno bits coming from a club next door were a bit disturbing and out of place. Staff is trying their best to be friendly and efficient, but keep forgetting to bring your coffee and wine. That happens a lot at buffet restaurants in Dubai. Buffet selection is enough to satisfy your hunger and find something you might enjoy, but it's not the case when the variety is so great that you get frustrated. Their meat grill and prawns are worth trying. The nice touch by one of the chefs was when I asked for non present on buffet Turkish dish (iskander kebab) and he prepared it for me and brought it to the table (small things like that make big difference). Cheese table was a bit disappointing. It looked great from the far, but selection of cheese was quite poor. I was quite surprised to see 4 types of Ukrainian cheese there. I am proud of my country of course and happy they made it to Dubai market, but we have no idea how to make cheese (unless it's cottage cheese). We r good at producing pork sausages and all types of vodka, but cheese is not our strong side. My friends who are not very fussy about their food loved the place. I am a little spoiled wii Dubai buffets and my expectations were a bit higher

I went to A La Turca only because they had the offer to access the pool when you have a lunch buffet. The food was average. The appetizers were nice, the main below average and I will not tell you about the cakes. Very deceived. The restaurant manager or supervisor was very dry, not even a smile on his face.

Went for a family dinner buffet at A La Turka, it was ok. Nothing very impressive or special. The Rixos hotel is probably the most dated hotel on the palm and certainly my least favorite. The buffet selection was good, I liked the veg curry and the desserts were really yummy( umm Ali and the backlava in particular ), the service was ok. But the whole ambiance and overall experience wasn't that amazing . Casual place(getting dated), good for families. 200 AED per person not including drinks.

It is certainly a much recommended place for a nice family outing.<br/><br/>The service is lovely by all means and the staff is very kind and welcoming.<br/><br/>Food is just great! Love the Soups, the Bread and of course the Turkish BBQ; though my favorite dish would be the Iskandar Kabab.<br/><br/>The kids get special treat too; Especial Turkish Ice cream show, face painting and their own Play area and kids Buffet; just enough for parents (like me) to enjoy the meal.<br/><br/>We went there for the Saturday Turkish Brunch, and will probably go again.

I went here for their new Saturday Turkish brunch and was extremely impressed considering that this is their all day diner. With options of sitting both indoors and out, this brunch offers the perfect views of the beach while dining on some truly exquisite Turkish food. The variety was dizzying-ly overwhelming to say the least! From Turkish delight to icecream (yes I start with dessert first), these guys had everything! M was especially blown away by the Iskander, while I chosen down on shawermas, mezze and grilled salmon made to order. <br/>Oh how I love brunches, especially discovering new "hidden gem" ones like this :)

We came down for a Saturday brunch in À La Turca restaurant, an ultimate location to rediscover the Turkish culinary art.<br/><br/>From dolma, pide and kumpir to döner kebab, homemade baklava and Turkish Delights, you are invited to savour authentic tastes from the Anatolian cuisine alongside a selection of beverages. All carnivores out there can expect several live cooking stations where they will experience the finest meat prepared in authentic way.<br/><br/>Despite the fact that Turkish cuisine is famous for its flavorful and versatile meat variations, À La Turca has a variety of fish and vegetarian options. I absolutely loved the cold mezze station with a huge array of mouthwatering salads and light appetizers. For the main course I indulged in some grilled to perfection zucchini, potato wedges and eggplant slices, topped with a light lemon sauce hollandaise.<br/><br/>Then, we finished our outstanding culinary experience with a visit to the dessert station with a variety of sweet offerings, including famous Turkish Delights, cakes, fruits and of course a live ice cream station to provide that authentic touch.<br/><br/>From the appetising selection of mezze to its rich main courses, À La Turca is with no doubt one of the finest Turkish culinary experiences in the city.

My first visit to The Rixos and this Turkish restaurant for the Saturday brunch. The venue was large as was the spread. The kebabs were tasty and ao was the doner and the salad spread. They also had five varieties of Turkish Delight. Overall a nice Saturday lunch.

This buffet is one of the worst in Dubai. The buffet is full of nothing only rice qne vegetables. No quality no variety. Strongly not reccomended...

Of all the turkish restaurants i have tried in dubai , this is the one i liked the most ... Went there for my birthday brunch this year .. Good ambience , great food , turkish desserts such as the famous baklava , kunefe was there in the buffet . Got a complementary cake too .

Went for the buffet here! Tried the steak which was pretty good. It had good selection of appetisers and desserts. The place was awfully packed on the day and struggled to take orders and serve on time! Caught them on a really busy day ! That apart a place worth trying!

Tried this place thanks to our company dinner. Honestly place is a bit far off but that did not put me off from having a positive mind towards the meal. <br/><br/>High expectations do lead to disappointments I guess. The range of food is overall good but not much for the vegetarians. Just buttered rice, stir fried veggies, channa masala and lots of dessert's. Thank goodness for the pasta station which made some delicious pasta. And of course the salad station which had some delicious hummus and green salads.<br/><br/>They have a live grill station, we can choose the meats or fish required and ask them to grill it but again no option of adding sauces to the grills. There are some sauces provided near the food stations but no dishes to actually serve it in. <br/><br/>Desserts were again a disappointment, lots of options but taste wise very average. Liked the arabic sweets better than the cakes. <br/><br/>Service average. Outdoor seating views are amazing though.

At the moment Turkish cuisine is trending in Dubai, lot of new Turkish restaurants have been opened recently and the old ones have had a makeover in the menu department. Around the last week of September, I was invited to a Saturday Turkish Brunch at A La Turca Restaurant. I have tried Turkish cuisine many times, but for the very first time, I was trying the Turkish brunch and naturally I was excited.

Dinner buffet: a good variety (pasta, salads, cheeses, roasts, Indian, Turkish and a dessert station). The food tastes great (with the exception of the steaks which were below average). The staff are very friendly. Okay/good value for money at AED 200 per person.<br/><br/>We will dine here again! Recommended.

Drinks were ordered when we sat down, had to ask three more times and they finally arrived after we had eaten. Not busy, staff looked confused. Food ok, meat tough. Over priced and staff need to wake up.
