Came here on a beautiful Friday morning to have some Turkish breakfast on the their patio. I was not dissapointed. Their set Turkish breakfast was 89AED and was really enough food for two. We also added some Turkish eggs and a Turkish bagel (my apologies, I dont know the exact names). Anyhow ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐, 5 stars. This place was exactly what we needed on a hungry Friday morning. I would suggest parking in Section H or I (pink/green) of the underground parking. That way you can come up the escalators and walk straight out to near the restaurant.

We tried it againSoup was good , fresh tomatoes and garnished wellIskanderi dish was fresh how ever the bread lacked the juiciest and came across as dry.If you like Turkish food then you can try the restraunt how ever iskanderi is a speciality which didnt come up to the original level.

Babaji is one of my favorite restaurants in Dubai. The food is actually authentic, the price is right for the quality, and the staff is very friendly. Id highly recommend trying their breakfast - 89 dirham for enough food for at least 2 people!

Located within CityWalk, with a quite nice view next to the fountain. The ambience, the setup and the atmosphere are simply amazing.The food taste is just perfect I highly recommend to try everything in the exquisite range of their delightful variety of dishes and if you are into lamb go for Alinazik.The fifth star in my review goes to the amazing staff who helped us a lot in enjoying our experience there.And social thanks to Navruz making us feel special.

I absolutely loved the food at Babaji. Awesome flavour and authentic taste. We tried the traditional Pide with chicken, Beef Manti and Hummus with beef sujuk followed by Baklawa with ice cream. It was divine and a must visit.

Beautiful Turkish restaurant with awesome deco and ambience. Loved the these and traditional Turkish designs everywhere and offcourse the food. Lentil soup tastes best on cold nights. And kunafa with chai while sitting and relaxing outdoors. Had the traditional iskanderi kabab with eggplant for the first time and totally loved it

The service here is excellent and the food is supurb. Im no expert on Turkish cuisine, but i cant imagine it gets much better than this. Went as a family with 3 young children, and were made to feel super welcome. You certainly pay for the quality, but was well worth it. Will be back for more.

Review β„–22

Amazing atmosphere. Loved every bit of it.. Had kunafa, baklava which was mouth watering, some other desert dont remember the name.. but it was good and cappuccino. The combination of baklava and icecream was yum yum. They gave complimentary tea too. Servers there are very nice and friendly. There was a show too I dont know what its called but it was really cool to watch the water fountains and screen was right in front of this place. Must go place!!!

Review β„–23

Having tried Babaji for the first time, I absolutely loved it!Apologies for not taking pictures of the food - I genuinely couldn’t resist and started eating immediately! That tells you how delicious looking it was!Among many items that we ordered, my favourite was their Beef Doner and Lamb cubes on tougher and eggplant. I can’t recall it’s name. We orders that item again!Not only that, they had very friendly and efficient staff. Treated my entire family with respect and absolutely incredible service. The restaurant was following all SOP’s as instructed by the government. They encouraged E-menu via QR codes on every table.I also asked one of the staff members to take pictures of the interior. They happily agreed and I happily captured many pictures!Babaji is highly recommended to everyone in search of authentic Turkish food. Believe me, their beef doner was soooooo good!Follow me on Instagram: @bazzmanic

Review β„–31

I would give it 3.5 start but there is no half star in google maps. and the Resturant don’t deserve 4 starts. Not bad Resturant but not the best Turkish Resturant in town. The Escandar Kabab , was not what we are used to , it’s not the bread and not the meat for it . The doner was very normal . The lamb kafta was really nice . The sujuk Pie was normal and nothing special . The baklawa was nice and the tea was normal . The place location on the square of city walk is really good location and that what make people more into the place .Service was okWould come back only if I am in city walk and only if I was really craving for Trukish Food in the same time. Other wise I wouldn’t .

Flat taste, good presentation. Nice interior. Fresh baked breads. Turkish kababs are not as great as are Arabic. They feel like they are warmed up after taken from freezer. Not just babaji but over all Turkish

Wow! 10/10 for this restaurant.I dined there last Friday evening with some friends and the not only was the food on point but so was the service! The excellent service started from the lady at the door taking names down on for the waiting list, to the manager kindly recommending dishes (eventhough it was a full house) and to the food being served super quick!Food was delicious, I would definitely recommended this restaurant.

Review β„–41

The Iskander, chicken kofte and lamb with yogurt and aubergine (I forgot the actual name of the last one), three dishes guaranteed to satisfy.This was hands down some of the best Turkish food I’ve had in Dubai. Just ask the waiters to recommend and they’ll recommend all the good stuff, but very hard to go wrong with their menu.The atmosphere and location prime, sit outside for a really enjoyable experience.

An amazing dining experience at Babaji. The food was amazing with nice flavors yet light. I’d highly recommend trying the lamb chops as they are very tender and cooked to perfection. For desert we ordered the Kunafeh and wow! It was flavorful, delicious and tasted homemade with freshness and perfection in every element! I’d highly recommend trying out this Turkish restaurant if you are visiting City Walk!

Very nice cosy place at the heart of City Walk. I regret not trying their breakfast before. Really quality material from Turkey. Cheese is absolutely delicious and you dont want it to finish. Variety of jams with fresh baked Turkish pide. Tea is on the house which is great. I highly recommend this place for people who already know the turkish breakfast traditions

I cannot say bad for the food in this restaurant. However, the food was not super. And the prices were really expensive. Chicken soup was great. The pita with roasted meat was also really delicious. My friends who ate Δ°skender kebab were not very happy about iskender kebab. Also there was a lot of noise inside. There is a lot of noise from the hob. The staff are really friendly. I will visit this restaurant once again, even if it is expensive.

I always enjoy eating at Babaji. My spouse and me love the food. The staff are the best. We always set on the bar watching the staff doing their magic in the kitchen. My starter plate is the hot bread with olive oil. Sorry people... Babaji spoiled us bad. I will be coming back to your place soon to enjoy your food and hospitality.

Babaji is a concept straight from London with its first international debut here in Dubai, a brand conceived by restaurateur Alan Yau. The menu focuses on the Turkish β€˜Pide’ amongst other delectable dishes from the Ottoman Empire.Babaji is located right in the center of City Walk and it was buzzing with people. They had an actual queue of people waiting to be seated at all time!

Review β„–75

Visited here for brunch one of the weekdays. My first impression was the complete love for ambience. Very spacious , well done interiors . Staff are very courteous and attentive too. We had grilled suzuk, menemen, grilled lamb chops, Kiymali pide, Fried eggs with Kavurmali with fresh breads. For drinks we tried mocktails mojito, quiet storm and watermelon lemonade. Desserts we had classic baklava and kunafa. Everything was actually very fresh and delicious. Grilled lambchops, Pide and Baklava are the ones i loved the most . It was good to see pide done as per our choice right in front of us. If you are looking for some yummy Turkish food with lovely ambience and service , this is a must visit. Not to forget the location is extremely beautiful too , none other than city walk near the fountain side . Value for money and excellent quality of food and how did i miss to say that you must try their Turkish coffee !

Babaji is surprisingly Turkish after I found that it was established by a restauranter, Alan Yau, who has no Turkish history.Very kind service, delicious pide (flat Turkish bread like a pizza), tasty kid options, manti and authentic Turkish beans+rice.Never dissappoints and close to Turkish taste.

I am writing this review as I am sitting at the table. I am here for almost 30 min without anyone offering water or taking my order. Time flew because I was reading an article on my phone.

Food was good, place is conveniently located. However the staff was way to slow ignoring us most of the time and forgetting everything, from the easiest task of table assignment to the parts of our order and tea refills. It took roughly 1.5 hours from the moment we spotted a restaurant to finally finish the launch there.

Review β„–85

The taste of their food was not even near to the original authentic turkish cuisine, the name of the restaurant and the name of their food item is only turkish.The location of the restaurant is good but the food and the taste is absolutely not acceptable at all. Even the serving portion is also very less compared to the other Turkish restaurants in Dubai.The servers in this restaurant is also very slow and non responsive, I ordered a drink and they did not served me and after sometime I called the server and asked where is my drink I ordered he responded that they dont have the watermelon in stock, I told him why he did not told me when I ordered he was simply standing without any response. At the time of bill payment I had to wait for 15 mins before somebody came to take the payment.

Waited for the menu 10 minutes. Six waiters walked around us and didnt pay any attention. After finally managing to stop one, we asked for to the menu and to speak with manager. Female waiter informed us that the manager was busy and everyone was busy. (look at the number of empty tables). We werent offered a menu. Actually, cant believe this happened.We left. Probably worst service I have encountered in Dubai.
