Common Concerns

Smoke odour

The glazed external patio is a smoking area, and two reviews describe the smoke smell as very strong or unbearable.

Family access

Children are not allowed on the patio, so families who want the lake-facing outdoor area may need to sit inside.

The Bottom Line

Emir Turkish Restaurant is a Turkish dining spot in Dubai Investment Park, known in reviews for mixed grills, kebabs and a relaxed lake-facing setting. The mixed grill is a safe starting point: diners describe juicy, properly charred meat, while Adana kebab, shawarma and Iskender kebab also receive specific praise. Katmer, baklava and Turkish tea round out the meal.

The atmosphere is a big part of the appeal. There is indoor dining and an outdoor patio for shisha, with the lake view making it a draw for quiet dinners or an unhurried tea. A reviewer also liked the digital process for browsing the menu, ordering and paying, and another reported clean facilities.

Service is commonly described as fast and attentive, including during a busy iftar meal. There are a few things to plan around. The patio is a smoking area, and multiple reviews mention a strong smoke smell; children are not allowed there.

Portions have been called small by one regular, and katmer pricing drew a sharp complaint after one diner was charged 90 AED. Check closing hours before going, and confirm pickup arrangements by phone. Free nearby parking has been reported, although parking was described as difficult in an older review.
