The Good Stuff
Playful ice cream
Turkish ice cream comes with an entertaining handover that children can join in, making it a fun family treat.
Kunafa
Kunafa is a standout dessert, with reviewers enjoying it alone and paired with ice cream.
Turkish tea
The tea is a consistent highlight, including a traditional Turkish tea pot served with breakfast or desserts.
Cheesecake
Blueberry cheesecake is popular by the slice, and one reviewer says the cafe was also willing to sell a whole cake for takeaway.
Warm setting
Reviews describe a cozy, calm atmosphere that works for lingering over tea, breakfast or sweets.
Tips for a Better Visit
Allow time. If you are visiting for breakfast, build in extra time or choose a quieter period, since one review reports a 50-minute wait.
Check inclusions. Before ordering a breakfast set, confirm exactly what is included, especially whether you receive a full tea pot or just a cup.
Bring children. Turkish ice cream is a good family stop: the playful serving style gave one daughter a memorable way to enjoy her treat.
Try takeaway. If you need a dessert for a group, ask whether a whole blueberry cheesecake is available rather than buying individual slices.
Order tea. Add Turkish tea to breakfast or dessert; reviewers mention both its flavour and its traditional pot presentation.

The Bottom Line
Maras Turka Cafe is a Turkish cafe in Dubai Festival City with a strong breakfast-and-dessert identity. You can order a traditional Turkish breakfast platter, all-day breakfast, Turkish tea, kunafa, Turkish ice cream or Turkish coffee. The reviews suggest breakfast is the main draw, while the desserts give you a good reason to drop in for a shorter visit.
The Turkish ice cream is more than a quick scoop: staff make the handover playful, and one family described their daughter laughing while trying to take it. Kunafa is another recurring favourite, including a version served with ice cream. Blueberry cheesecake is also popular; one reviewer says the cafe sold a whole cake for takeaway even though it usually sells slices.
Su Börek, baklava and Turkish coffee receive positive mentions too. The setting is often described as cozy, calm and relaxing, with friendly, attentive service. It can also be inconsistent.
One breakfast visit involved a 50-minute wait, delayed tea and no follow-up, while another reviewer reported confusion over what a set included. Confirm the breakfast inclusions before ordering, particularly whether the tea service means a pot or a cup. If timing matters, avoid relying on a fast meal.
