About this spot
Nusret brings the chaotic energy of Istanbul's Mevlevihane directly to Jumeirah, serving massive portions of Iskender kebab that feel like a feast for one. The restaurant is packed with locals and tourists alike, creating a loud, vibrant atmosphere where you must shout to be heard while waiting for your table. Don't expect quiet intimacy here; this is a place to experience the sheer volume of Turkish street food culture.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the Iskender kebab immediately upon arrival as it sells out quickly and takes time to prepare.
- Save room for the traditional Ayran, a salty yogurt drink that cuts through the rich lamb and tomato sauce.
- Expect a long wait even during off-peak hours due to the restaurant's popularity with Dubai residents.
