Six reasons to visit Sirali this summer

Partner Content: We’re declaring it the next best thing after a jaunt to Bodrum.

It’s been just over a year since its opening, and Sirali is going strong, earning rave reviews for its elevated take on Turkish cuisine. A dining institution rooted in traditional dishes (especially of the carnivorous variety), Sirali is located in Al Habtoor City and has become a hidden gem that only those in the know are privy to. Once inside, a focus on authenticity reigns across the restaurant’s ornate interiors and culinary offerings alike. Here, we delve into six reasons to escape the heat at Sirali.

Decor

Showcasing quintessential Turkish design through the likes of artwork, tableware, crockery and other custom-designed objects, the venue is instantly welcoming owing to its vibrant, neighbourhood-driven ambience. Diners will also notice the colourful setting which includes inspiring Ottoman artworks and custom-designed plates that draw attention to walls, resulting in an Insta-worthy moment that is only surpassed by the food.

Delightful Dinners

Sirali’s pride in its authentic dishes starts with the emphasis on using only the best ingredients, sourcing quality essentials and fresh, sustainable produce from Türkiye to maintain the true essence of traditional Turkish cuisine. Both the lunch and dinner menus offer diners a true taste of the Mediterranean, with an array of hot and cold starters as well as an outstanding kebab menu — 21 different types of traditional Turkish kebabs included. If a touch of theatrics sounds appealing, order the manti and thank us later.

As for notable mains? The Chef’s Tray Kebab: delicately diced lamb meat, baked with vegetables, spices and thinly sliced tail fat, all served with a roasted tomato sauce. The sharing concept at Sirali, meanwhile, is encouraged through the tempting range of generously sized desserts. Options like Kunafah and Katmer with Turkish ice cream will appeal to those craving the classics, while the creative Mud of Heaven is a must-order if you’re feeling adventurous.

Breakfast

The first meal of the day is a veritable feast at Sirali, bringing together authentic flavours and meticulous skill. You can expect to dine on a selection of Turkish eggs, authentic pastries, and an assortment of freshly baked breads made daily in-house alongside ezine cheese ripened for ten years, olive salad, fried zucchini patties, and a Turkish take on mashed potatoes.

Business Lunch

With unparalleled flavours and truly hospitable service, the Sirali business lunch makes a bold statement. You’ll start with a ‘soup of the day’ before tucking into starters and a choice of mains, including Lamb Shish and Chopped Meat Kebab. Diners will finish off the meal with one of three delicious desserts, including Kunafah. Choose between the three-course menu (AED 120) or the five-course menu (AED 140), and you’re set.

Beverages

The beverage menu at Sirali spans premium wines, champagnes, spirits, carefully curated cocktails and of course raki, the national drink of Türkiye. We recommend savouring the selection during the always lively Sirali Nights, which feature live DJs and take place every Saturday and Sunday from 8pm to midnight.

Raki

Made of aniseed and twice-distilled grapes, raki is Turkey’s most widely consumed tipple, and it awaits in several variations every Wednesday during Raki Nights. Diners can wash down platters of cheese, meat and fruit with Raki Carafe, Yeni Raki, Efe Raki, and Tekirdag. Prefer to stick with non-alcoholic options? Ask for the Salgam instead.
