a la turca - rixos the palm dubai

unique weekend experience with extensive selection of traditional anatolian dishes along with turkish entertainment. we were excited upon receiving and invite from rixos the palm to experience their newly launched saturday brunch in a la turca restaurant. it is resort’s main restaurant and has a buffet concept that serves a variety of international cuisines including authentic turkish cuisines with delicacies such as grills, kebabs, and mezzes from eastern anatolia, the aegean and the black sea

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.

went there last week with family for a dinner buffet. the place is beautiful specially if you sit outdoor, the food however was a bit disappointing to me this time, a lot of the buffet trays where empty and took plenty of time to refill, the food i tried was really good but they definitely need more variety, and the dessert was below average. overall the place is not bad.

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

a la turca is not worth going for and its a waste for money. it's a 5star restaurant with such a poor third class restaurant. food does not taste great. people
should not waste their time and money on this. it's have been a worst experience in 5star hotel.

they have all kinds of chilies italian indians arabic
you name they hav it all
i liked the place a lot but their also is room for improvement
staff was a bit slow was ok service

i was invited for the iftar preview at a la turca and the food was fantastic. loved the ambiance and the view.

if you're looking for iftar and suhoor, there is a lot in store for you. it would be almost impossible to try the food as there is so much of variety even for the dessert. pure and traditional turkish taste. it's a must

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.

having our 'staycation' at rixos, we opted to have a half-board meal plan to our room as you know that the hotel is located on the very end of the palm. so we chose to have the breakfast and dinner. going down on the lower ground floor of the hotel, you will find them on your left downstairs, and while you are still outside of the door, you can imagine that the restaurant has a huge selection of foods. and we are correct indeed! turkish foods are so tasty! the dinner buffet is carefully laid out, and the staff are so wonderful assisting you all the time. for our breakfast, we opted to sit outside as the sitting area is amazing and relaxing. and as it turns out, the guy who is assisting us in everything we need is the manager himself! which i found it so humble of him, he doesn't act like he's a manager at all. walking casually, cleaning up the tables, so humble of him. this restaurant must i say is a wise choice for a buffet that you should not miss trying.

came here for lunch on a regular weekday. have to say i would not come again. it's too far away a drive to come out here specifically. if you live here then okay maybe.
i didn't find any innovative dishes and the few items that were turkish were definitely not the best.
for hot dishes, i found lots of side items and not much meat/fish. the doner was average and the kofta was undercooked.
the desserts should have been chilled, chocolate and mousse was melting.
bread buns were disappointing too.

sadly, i wouldn't recommend this for your buffet cravings. there are surely better spots to overeat on the palm.

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...

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.

been there last thursday with no experience how good it is. but it was so nice to know them. everything there is pretty good. food and staff. my wife decided to go next thursday again to celebrate my 40th birthday and i quickly welcomed. thanks to all related to this awesome restaurant

a turkish restaurant with a global touch. loved the chicken shashlik, lamb kebab, lasagne bolognese and the chocolate praline. the only real challenge would be getting to the rixos, where you need to go all around the palm jumeirah to actually get there. but overall good experience. the service was good and the ambience was just about fine. the place where we got a table was a bit dimly lit, more than what i would have liked but no complaints. would definitely recommend this place if you are planning dinner with family
