Request Terrace. Ask for the second-floor terrace if you want the sea and Ain Dubai views; it is also where smoking and shisha are mentioned.
Try Sultan. For breakfast, consider the Sultan Breakfast if you want enough variety to sample several traditional items rather than one dish.
Share Mains. Ask about portion size before ordering: one reviewer found a main course large enough for two or three people.
Mind Calories. Check the menu’s calorie listings before ordering, especially if you are dining alone or planning several small plates.
Watch Food. Outdoor diners should keep food and tissues close because crows may approach the tables.
Allow Time. Service can vary, so allow extra time and follow up if nobody takes the order promptly.

One visit involved a long wait before ordering and little follow-up during the meal, including a delay when ordering tea.
Crows sometimes come close to outdoor tables and pick up tissues, so diners may need to keep an eye on their food.
One breakfast review found the presentation and experience good but felt the breakfast flavours could be improved.
The Bottom Line
Bosporus Turkish Cuisine at The Beach is a Turkish restaurant in Jumeirah Beach Residence where breakfast is a major draw. The Sultan Breakfast brings a broad spread of breads, cheeses, eggs and traditional sides, while the dinner menu is represented in reviews by Iskender Kebab, mixed grills, mezze and döner. Portions can be generous enough to share, so it is worth checking before ordering several mains.
The setting is a big part of the appeal. Outdoor seating looks towards the sea, beach and Ain Dubai, and the second-floor terrace is also mentioned for smoking and shisha. Some dishes, including a beef clay pot stew, come with tableside fire-show presentation.
Complimentary Turkish tea is a recurring extra, and one breakfast review also mentions unlimited tea and complimentary sweets. Service is usually described as warm, attentive and professional, but it is not completely consistent. One visit involved a long wait to order and delayed tea service, while another found breakfast flavours less convincing than the presentation.
Outdoor diners should also know that crows may come close to tables and pick up tissues. The menu’s calorie listings are useful if you are trying to judge portions before ordering.
