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 alaturca 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

alaturca 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.

i was invited for the iftar preview at alaturca 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

we went on a thursday evening with our kids and family for my birthday. the staff were excellent, i even got a surprise birthday cake! there was an excellent selection of pastas, salads and desserts. best was the sushi and fresh beef/ kebabs which you can chose and then have freshly bbqd. the chef came and greeted us as well to make sure everything was perfect. highly recommend alaturca, the food and staff are amazing.

never go here! for a whopping 230 aed per person, alaturca does not serve what you should normaly expect at this price. for a turkish themed restaurants and 230 aed i would expect to see: shish tawook, adna kebab, manti, borek, pistachio baklava, turkish ice cream, pide, sis kebab, dolma, etc. unfortunately, these were all missing. the food available tasted good and service was great but turkish food variety was really bad, i would recommend to go any other turkish restaurants.

what can i say about alaturca! just one year ago it was my favorite brunch spot or any weeknight buffet spot... however in last year the quality has just come down significantly! the grilling station with poor selection, the salads that used to be heavenly are just average, the cheeses that used to be very turkish are now just the usual you find in any buffet, desert (no comment).... even the cooked authentic dishes seem to have lost some points in authenticism and quality preparation.... this restaurant may surely find its way back to my favorites but based on last three tries the trend has been very clearly negative. still very good service and a solid lahmajun. i hope it gets back to its days of glory!

came to alaturca with my wife for dinner on monday evening
all in all experience was way below expectation and below a 5 stars hotel on the palms
the selection and variety of food was extremely limited and for a while we thought we were scammed the value for money does not worth what you get
dont be fooled with pictures you see posted on zomato plus the attitude of staff is almost for. 2 stars place

best brunch ever specially their bbq’s.. amazingly delicious and the service was extremely beyond expectation.
we will surely be back in here .. to chef and to all the people behind alatura .. thank you for the wonderful and warm
welcome..

it was a great disappointment visiting alaturca restaurant at rixos the palm after weeks of trying to get reservation
starting from the unprofessional greater who was very aggressive to the live cooking station where the grill man who couldn’t grill my food properly and instead he handed it over to me confirming it’s cooked
upon returning to my table in found that the food was uncooked and the seafood was still kind of raw
i called the manager who was in hurry to get the matter sorted
the respectable person was chef sameer who insisted to make it up and re offer me the food well cooked. he is a world class type of chefs who demonstrated a real example of customer centric
even the ice cream station had a very inpatient staff who answering my question about which flavors he has in very rude manner

i strongly believe this is the first and the last time for me to visit this restaurant

ordered a branch in alaturca i regret very much for such choice.
buffet and choice of food is 1 out of 10.
the quality and recipes are definitely not up to 5 stars standarts.very poor menu.

huge queue of naked or semi naked people who does not even bother to cover their cellulite while having a lunch in the restaurant - and management allowed this.
we were placed next to automatic doors leading to smoky grill station - where smoke and heat was an additional accessory to all what we saw there.
ordered sparkling wine, got a reply that it is not availiable and will be replaced by housewine( 2 times cheaper) however got different price - for sparkling one in the bill by the end and waitress was trying to convince me that it is same same mam.
wasted my day,will never come again, highly not recommended for all friends .

nice turkish food !
alaturca menu has a lot to offer and buffet is huge. you can choose your raw meat and it has a grill station outside where you can decide if you want your meat to be cooked on point or not.
a bit disappointed by desserts but it worths going back again.

i visited alaturca with a bunch of friends to celebrate one of their birthdays, and we went for the friday brunch.

the buffet spread is huge with a lot of different cuisines to pick from, and most of the dishes that i had were pretty good. they also have a love grill station outdoors, where you can pick your cut of meats and they’ll cook it for you within 10 minutes. the dessert spread is also quiet vast, but none of the things were exceptional. they have a live kunafa counter, which i really liked.
the ambiance in the restaurant is super lively, the staff are really friendly, and there is live music too.

we dined in with the groupon vouchers, so the brunch was really good value for money.

recently i’ve visited this amazing place alaturca for buffet dinner. we thought there will be only turkish dishes but they have great variety of international cuisines that’s amazing in this price you have so many options apart from that they have sea food live station perfect for sea food lovers. they have so many deserts also which you can die for but i am sure nobody can try all of them they are so many.

i have been to many buffets but this place is amazing everything was great hotel staff were very courteous. ambience and location of this place. overall we enjoyed our time.

i explored a fantastic place to brunch at - alaturca serves not only authentic turkish cuisine but also a variety of international cuisines. they have some amazing delicacies like grills, kebabs and mezzes, entire seafood counter, live pasta station, multiple dessert counters and so much more!
the food was delish, but what i fell in love with the most was the beautiful ambience and the hotel - it's one of the best i've been to yet! even the drive up to the hotel along the board walk is so beautiful! they even have a shaded terrace which is the perfect setup for the current dubai weather!
they desserts look so beautiful and delicious! i think my favourites were some of the middle eastern delicacies like the basbousa - it was perfectly spongy and moist. they have soo much to choose from - i couldn't try them all even after filling up 2 plates.
thank you rixos the palm for this fabulous experience!
