Turkish Bazaar & Restaurant — Restaurant in Dhaka Metropolitan

this place is 4.5 out of 5 to me. The interior decoration in turkish flavour looks excellent. The gallery of your phone will surely collect some great photos. There is a platter with 5 different kababs and pita bread. They call it 1:2 but if you love to eat light its easily 1:3 or even 1:4. From the platter we found lamb shish kabab to be the best and most exceptional. chicken shish kabab is good but nothing exceptional. Adana kabab and Donar kabab were second bests after lamb shish. Chicken wing was not exceptional. Aside from the platter, we ordered Iskandar Kabab. And this was THE BEST item we ate there. All the kabab items were light for stomach. Not too spicy or oily. I think the pita bread could be better. We ordered two extra nuns and found it tastier than pita. The welcome tea was an as usual raw tea. We ordered a traditional item called Hummus. This chickpeas item is a bit overpriced compared to taste. From desserts, we ordered Baklava and Revani. Baklava was crunchy, good to eat. But you cant eat a lot. its very sweet. Revani is even sweeter. Its kind of a cake mixed with sugar syrup. Didn't like it. The service quality is really good at the restaurant. Some turkish traditional dresses are kept there which you can wear to take photos. Overall, a nice place to go with your family. They should add low volume...

They moved to a cheaper place. But the food is surprisingly still amazing.

Kebabs were superb. Not overly spicy like the south Asian style kebab.

genuine Turkish food in Turkey tends to be very salty and bland. But this restaurant thankfully skips this “genuine” style for a more Turkish-German spice level. Everything was superbly seasoned.

Even though a lot of 5 star hotels are staffed by Turkish chef, none of them come close to the taste of this restaurant. They just add a more refreshing taste to this field. The food is extremely well balanced and probably the best Turkish food on par with the middle eastern restaurants in Germany and NY.

Now for the bad:

The salad wasn’t Turkish at all. More of a local mishmash. The menu did not have the appropriate description of the salad. We expected Turkish but got a very local cucumber tomato salad with olives sprinkled on top.

their dessert baklava is the worst I’ve ever tasted. I mean it. Too crunchy and I can’t describe how horrendous it was.

The service was not upto par. Food was not served in the correct order. Appetizers were served in a very mixed incoherent order. Almost like first cooked first serve.

Still a 5 star review considering how this restaurant elevates the Turkish / middle-eastern food scene in Dhaka.

So have the food, but skip...

Located in the vibrant Banani area of Dhaka, Turkish Bazaar offers a delightful culinary journey through Turkish cuisine. As soon as you step inside, the warm and inviting atmosphere, adorned with traditional Turkish decor, sets the tone for a memorable dining experience.

The menu features a variety of authentic dishes, including kebabs, mezes, and desserts. The Adana Kebab stands out, perfectly grilled and seasoned, paired with freshly baked bread. The Meze Platter is a must-try, showcasing an array of dips and small plates that cater to different palates, making it perfect for sharing.

The service is commendable, with attentive staff who are knowledgeable about the menu and eager to make recommendations. The ambiance is enhanced by soft Turkish music, creating a relaxing backdrop for both family dinners and intimate gatherings.

For dessert, don’t miss the Baklava; it's rich and sweet, providing a perfect ending to your meal. Additionally, the selection of Turkish teas and coffees is a great way to round off the dining experience.

Overall, Turkish Bazaar is a gem in Dhaka's culinary scene, offering a unique taste of Turkey in a charming setting. Whether you're a fan of Middle Eastern cuisine or exploring it for the first time, this restaurant is definitely...
