What to Avoid (10)

Food 10

Calamari Net −1

“We ordered the platter of starters which gives you the option of choosing 2 cold mezzo and 2 hot mezze. The calamari was disappointing as was all the rest of the starters.”
Cerkez tavuk Net −1

“Pides needed more time in the oven, Cerkez tavuk, kopeglu didn't taste the same.”
Kasap köfte Net −1

“Urfa kebab was not actually a kebab, it was just a kasap köfte on a sish, tasteless, bland.”
Kopeglu Net −1

“Pides needed more time in the oven, Cerkez tavuk, kopeglu didn't taste the same.”
Kopoglu Net −1

“The kopoglu was not tasty with very stiff eggplants.”
Kusbasili pide Net −1

“Last time i was there , i have ordered a ‘kusbasili pide’, in order to reduce the costs i believe, the pide was full of tomato, onion and pepper and only few pieces of meat on it. I will support this with the attached photos.”
Lahmacun Net −1

“Imagine there is no garnish (lemon, onions, parsley) with lahmacun other than some rocket leaves and tomato. Urfa kebab was not actually a kebab, it was just a kasap köfte on a sish, tasteless, bland. And they refused to add eggs in a cheese pide. Any Turkish restaurant does this in Turkey. Also service was pretty weak. Only positive thing was the crispy dough of the pide and lahmacun. I do not recommend here for someone who wants to try real Turkish food.”
Platter of starters Net −1

“We ordered the platter of starters which gives you the option of choosing 2 cold mezzo and 2 hot mezze. The calamari was disappointing as was all the rest of the starters.”
Su boregi Net −1

“Highly recommend the Bodrum salad and Su Boregi, though this time Su Boregi was served almost cold which wasn’t nice.”
Urfa kebab Net −1

“Urfa kebab was not actually a kebab, it was just a kasap köfte on a sish, tasteless, bland.”

Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 6

Allow time. Build in extra time for service; several reviews mention delays, including a 40-minute wait for a kebab.

Try off-peak. Consider quieter hours, since one reviewer found service lagged when only one or two waiters were working.

The Bottom Line

Besh Turkish Kitchen is a fifth-floor Turkish restaurant in Sheraton Mall of the Emirates, Al Barsha, with indoor seating and a terrace overlooking the city. It is a useful choice when you want substantial Turkish food rather than a quick bite: reviewers mention mixed grills, Adana kebab, Iskender kebab and freshly baked pide, with portions that can suit sharing. The grills are the safest recurring highlight.

Diners describe tender, juicy meat, while the bread is made in-house and some reviews praise the crispy pide and lahmacun dough. Turkish milk ice cream, baklava and other desserts also get enthusiastic mentions. Breakfast has a broad buffet with a live egg station, cake section and fresh juices, and the restaurant has room for larger groups.

The setting is a real part of the appeal. Outdoor tables can bring city, sea and Burj Al Arab views, while other visitors prefer the calm indoor atmosphere and Turkish music. Access is possible through Mall of the Emirates, with one review mentioning four hours of free parking.

Service is the main caution. Waits of 20 to 40 minutes appear in several reviews, and food quality has been inconsistent for some repeat diners. If timing matters, visit during a quieter period only with realistic expectations, and confirm portion sizes before ordering for a group.
