Ambience:The restaurant has a very beautiful outdoor sitting. The view is nice as you can see people walking on the sidewalk of Lamer. It’s a chill place to dine but the flies will drive you absolutely crazy. It is literally impossible to eat comfortable outdoor with the number of flies around.⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️Food:I have been to this place few times , for lunch, dinner and breakfast. The food used to be better before the Corona time. This time I tried the breakfast and the items in the plate weren’t as fresh as I expected them to be. The inlet was really nice but the cheese, ham, sujuk... even olives seemed pretty old.. the break was burned too⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️Service:It was okey. Not the best service but okey.⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️Overall:Sitting outside is a mistake with the number of flies around. The freshness of the food was a big issue for me,
I have no complaints about the quality of food BUT we, a group of 4, had a harrowing experience. We went to this restaurant around 10.30pm on the 10th September 2021. Just before we finished our dinner we saw a rat coming down from one corner of the restaurant. We complained to the waiters and were told that they managed to catch it . After about 10 minutes we saw two more rats . These were large rats. . I hope this is sorted out .
Such a nice place and the service was amazing. The food is also very tasty and the plates are really big! Thank you so much :)
In love with this place.What an amazing service, food, drinks.What not? Everything is better about these guys.I have experienced their taste over 2 years.
The restaurant has good Turkish food options. Location and ambience is very good. Service speed is also good. Vegans, vegetarians and People who eat chicken also have very limited options. Good place for meat lovers. Since the location is at the beach it is expensive compared to other city restaurants.
Dined there during Ramadan with my friend. Took the set menu; nice ambience, very good service. The appetizers were great, main dishes were average.. Desert was mediocre, For price of 120DH; one can expect a lot more!
My first Turkish breakfast and I loved loved loved it! The donuts are a must! Staff were also fabulous!
Sheesha is very good as well as food, but price is on higher side.
Always a pleasure! Best timing for the early birds! 8.30!Best time to call in order to get your reservation: before noon!You should try the honey and cream and the different salads available! lovely in the morning, noon and evening!
The best restaurant for Turkish food lovers. All ingredients are fresh and tasty. Portions are big for fair price. I’ve been going for years and still love it !
Nice view staff are friendly food is delicious highly recommended 👍🏻
One of the best Turkish restaurants. Great food, big portions, complimentary tea with meals. Prices little above average.
Great food, great service, beautiful place.. just a little pricey.
Kaftan is by far my favorite restaurants in Dubai. The service is unmatched. The staff are very friendly and helpful The food is good. The sweets are top notch. They provide mostly free delicious Turkish tea. Kaftan La Mer is no exception to that.Finding a free parking spot on the weekend could be a bit challenging (e.g.: impossible). On weekdays it is usually a matter of a couple minutes.
Not recommend for big groups... We had to wait for an hour to get our soups, which was served after the main dish btw...
Words would be less to describe this place Kaftan Restaurant at La Mer. Everything was top class from food to ambience to its customer service that too on a busy first day of Eid.Most of our order was from grilled and 1 from oven section like Tavuk Pirozla, Karisik Izgara and Sucuklu Kasarli Pide which was good enough for a family of 4.Portions was good and price of each food item is very little over the edge to expensive side but not very expensive.. One reason could be location.I love Turkish cuisine and if anyone else is fan of Turkish food.. I would highly recommend this one.
The breakfast tray options are very limited and the pepperoni is way to heavy in flavor and too thick . Glasses werent clean and our waiter changed them but in time of covid-19 thats not acceptableStaff are freindly and welcoming and the view is amazing and weather was good in the morning
Rude waiters keep us waiting and not serving us to be seated despite come earlier than other people served. We ultimately left the place and will never consider this restaurant for any future plans
I don’t recommend for Iftar.. they can’t handle big group.. and food quality is low..
Overrated & overpricedThe staff is very friendlyAnd the value of money you can find better quality and taste
Great ambience. Love their open terrace by the water at La Mer. Great place.
Service is too slow.Waiters are daydreaming.Food is ok.
Good food!Highly recommended
The food was so good and fresh, friendly staff and nice atmosphere
They served us this portion not the way we asked how it it should be cooked well done then they took it and removed the sauce and cook it again and they brought it and again it was not cooked well and the they took it and removed the sauce again and they cooked it for the 3ed time and they brought it to us and it was smelly and the manager was trying to make us calm by saying I will not count it as if he was doing us a favor!!!NOT PROFESSIONAL AT ALL !!!
Great place, good quality food but seating outside attracts flies.
Food is below average. The hot mezze mix was not great at all, meat and calamari was smelly. The only good dish we had was a salad.Overpriced and definetly not the same quality it used to be at all.Will not be coming back here again.
Location, service and TasteThats how I can describe this restaurant. If you live in Dubai, you have noticed by now that Turkish restaurants are growing like Mushrooms every day. However most of them do not even have a Turkish chef or got any Turkish culinary training, Hence the food taste anything but Turkish.From the moment I walked to Kaftan, I have noticed a very refreshing and pleasant atmosphere. Staff are super welcoming, the host, Mr. Saad was extremely charming and his attitude and jokes could keep us wait 30 min for a table to be empty.Most importantly, food was divine. I am not a big fan of lamb but they were cooked to perfection and I could not taste the lamb taste at all. presentation and serving was an additional bounces to this journey of taste.Their food server kale was serving many tables but somehow he was managing to visit ours every 2 min and make sure hot bread is available all the time and change our dishes.prices are fantastic and its a great value for what you get.Restaurant Ambiance: vibrant and fun 5.0Staff: fantastic 5.0Food variety: very good 4.5Food quality: Excellent 5.0Taste: Excellent 5.0Speed of service: Excellent 5.0I highly recommend this place if you visit La mer, you will thank me afterward.
Best of the best, the coffee, the food and the sweets.. it is only little pricy but I love it 😻
Great Turkish food, their outside terrace is perfect with a view on the beach
I really recommend this restaurantAmazing and delicious food you will have hereI have been there for breakfast and dinner, both menus are greatAnd their hot appetizers are also really goodI really recommend their humos and fried cheese in hot mezza (appetizers)And their mix grillAlso very friendly staff thereAnd always they serve complimentary tea
It’s really magical place. All foods are supper tasty not because I’m Turkish :) I always go and the taste real Turkish one! They have also smoky beach part you can smoke shisha and you can taste Turkish foods with European twist .. End with Turkish tea or Turkish coffee please !
One of the best spots in Dubai for Turkish Breakfasts!They have a lovely ambience facing the La Mer beach. Upon being seated, we were served complimentary Turkish tea and the hospitality was great.We tried out their Simit bread with egg, beef soudjouk and Kashaval cheese, known as Sefin SimitI and Bal & Kaymak which included organic honeycomb with Turkish dairy cream, served along with assortment of breads.Both of these items were absolutely amazing and so worth trying.Cant wait to try out more of their menu items which I am sure is bound to be just as good!
Full of flys, staff are pulling chairs on the floor and making a lot of voices, the breakfast menu is not having any thing on that, totally didnt like itThey did not provide any sanitizing item
Good food and service. Just need to be more prossisional on packing extra food for take away. I suprised they damped all food in one bag without segragation. The butter mealted and spoiled everthing inside.
The adana kebab was dry, over cooked, chewy and greasy! Heard a lot of hype about the place. But if a turkish restaurant cant get adana kebab right, they need to have a serious look into what they are doing so horribly wrong! The 2 points it deserves is for prompt service, location, decor. Certainly not for the food
The location is great. I would’ve preferred to have main courses photos on menu to show food presentation. Grilled chicken in sauce was ok but was just little too greasy for me.
Simply excellent food, great environment and ambience, professional staff, a must go! The quality of the food is outstanding.
Good Turkish food - we had the Tavakulu pide, Iskender, Gavurdagi salad and their gumpir! Ended the meal with their sweet baklava. Was so good! Their breakfast is also pretty great with decent portionsThis branch is definitely better than the one in Umm suqeim in terms of service. But location wise, this branch can get crowded over weekends and a hassle to get through the La mer traffic
Good location
Super good food and service as always
The food has not been controlled for breakfast. The picture is clear.
Even they gave me charger for phone and blanket 👍🏼
Stayed almost 30 min and no body attended ..after 30 min asked for a menu from one of the waiters he came and never returned back ...will not come again..
Worse service ever!!! They have only one tap for all the costumers and the stuff they have no idea how to serve or the menus what included!!
This is delish. I love he fusion of avocado, smoked salmon, bread, asparagus, corn, cucumber, the mysterious pink dressing, corn, garlic, orange slices.
Amizing food and place are really cozy and nice right to beach staff very friendly spicily the manager Mr.bullant thank you for ur kind hospitality
I would surely say this is one the best turkish restaurants i have ever visited in UAE. Taking into consideration that we have visited the place in the weekend during lunch hours, staff arrranged a table for us very fast. The services they provided that day were very professional. We have ordered 4 different dishes and all of them were very tasty. Same I can say about offered desserts, we has very delicious ice cream. Thanks Kaftan team, and keep it up, do not lose the quality.
Great food and yummy free tea
The food is good there’s a lot of flies in this place so it’s very uncomfortable when you are outdoors. However, the service is horrible. I had an incident were we were late and called the restaurant to notify them that we will be late so they can hold the reservation. The manger met us when we arrived and was extremely rude about us being late had a very bad attitude and the service was really bad. We had apologized for being late but still the attitude was really bad
Nice breakfast
Below average with unprofessional stuff!
Hemanta was great. very enjoyable breakfast.
Great food , excellent service, nice atmosphere
For no reason high prices. Worst customer service, the place is full of flies. They charged us for things we didnt even ordered. After paying the bill i noticed and had to ask for refund.
Bad service
Yummy breakfast and good service.
Nice place to go with friends and family
A great collection of Turkish breakfast
This review is for the kaftan shisha lounge opposite the restaurant. it has a decent selection of flavours at reasonable prices - you can easily find cheaper however the views and atmosphere at la Mar are what you are paying for. there is food however this is slightly expensive for what you get and thete are better options elsewhere. the only downside was the coal change service - when it gets busy it can be a while inbetween coal changes which can lead to your shisha going out. other than that its a great place with great music and views.
Rude and disrespectful
The resturant is full of flies, totally ruined our experience.
Just ok food & coffee.
Zero customer service.
Authentic Turkish food
👍🏻
The food is not bad. However, after putting our order on the table, we astonished with a cockroach moving on the table. Although we informed the staff there, but nobody even apologize!!?
Dont be fooled by their offer on Zomato. The price of the food outside is not applicable for discounts. The staff will not tell you about this.
We were in La Mer for dinner and chose the Turkish restaurant Kaftan from a variety of interesting restaurants. All in all, there are many opportunities to eat something in the evening in La Mer and to sit relaxed and relaxed almost on the beach. The food was of the amount and really a lot, so that we could have breakfast with two mezzes and two main dishes 😃The service was great and the food was an interesting merged mix.
Excellent restaurant, excellent food, very wonderful service and everything is excellent and wonderful .. All thanks and appreciation to the workers in this place with all their awareness ..
Excellent restaurant in terms of quality, taste and value .. Average in terms of service, cleanliness and variety of menu ..
The way food (appetizers) is served on wood panels is very bad, I prefer dishes because wood cannot be washed well and also sugar for tea is bottled in water. This is not good.
The restaurant is honestly excellent, the service is excellent, and the food from the other, they have a happy aftermarket discount
One of very few restaurants in Dubai offering late breakfast till 18:00 hours. Food is delicious, best to introduce tasty Turkish food, cant name one. You must try all in the menu.One of the restaurants on the fingers that serves a late breakfast until six oclock in the evening, and this is normal in a tourist city whose main address is during the hours of the day (humidity and traffic congestion) so it is natural for the tourist reconciled with himself to start his morning at 2 in the afternoon because he is a tourist and not a mujahid who goes away from morning, good God.The best in Turkish food, their breakfast menu is the tastiest, richest, most delicious and the most delicious. I greet the people in charge of the restaurant as it has branches in Dubai and they are all at the same level.
The barracks are very bad when they are treated by talking to a person in a very ugly and highly arrogant way.
Bad shisha
Great Turkish restaurant, tried their desserts and it was very tasty and the staff was nice
Wonderful eating place and service
Bad shisha
Delicious food and nice deal. I tried breakfast and tomorrow, breakfast is great and I see
A varied and delicious Turkish restaurant
Sweet
