The Turkish table
in Jumeirah.

Ocakbaşı dishes, prime cuts and classic kebabs, served in Jumeirah.

A Turkish grill, kept to its traditions

The ocakbaşı

Set within The Village Mall on Jumeirah Road, Pera Palace is a Turkish grill restaurant in the classic manner: a charcoal ocakbaşı in full view of the room, prime cuts prepared by hand each day, and kebabs made to recipes that have not changed in generations.

Whether you join us for a long lunch or an unhurried dinner, the dining room, the grill-side seats and the private room are where good food, good company and the ceremony of the Turkish table meet.

Where to sit

Three rooms, one fire: at the counter beside the grill, at a generous table in the dining room, or behind the curtain in a room of your own.
