ismEt CHEF Steakhouse & Kebap — Restaurant in Al Jerf

I had the pleasure of dining at Ismet CHEF Steakhouse & Kebap restaurant yesterday. It was a pleasure meeting with Mr. Ismet the great chef of turkey, and it was an incredible experience. The moment we stepped in, the ambience felt warm and inviting, with beautiful Turkish décor. We started with the classic hummus and chef Special Salad, both of which were fresh and bursting with flavour. The highlight, though, was the Mix Grill Platter, Sac Tava with laham and Smoky lamb —perfectly cooked, tender, and full of spices. The service was friendly, and the portions were generous. Great spot for Turkish cuisine! The menu offers a variety of dishes, from grilled meats to vegetarian options. I had the Lamb kebab, which was flavorful and spicy—just the way I like it. The rice pilaf on the side was fluffy and fragrant, a great complement. The only downside was that it took a little longer for the food to arrive, but the staff was apologetic, and the meal was worth the wait. A nice, authentic experience overall. If you’re craving Turkish food, this is the place to go! The baklava was out of this world—sweet, flaky, and perfectly balanced. The mixed grill platter was another standout, with a variety of grilled meats that were succulent and flavorful. I also loved the Turkish tea—it’s served in traditional glasses and adds a lovely touch. Highly recommend a casual yet delicious meal with friends or family. I'm definitely...

This Steakhouse located in Flagpole Ajman has the helpful staffs!! I am speechless!!! I wish I could remember the 2 men who served us. The other has special ability and the one as he mentioned to us was a newbie that time from Abu Dhabi. They were so jolly and helpful!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Alright back to my real review, we ordered carbonara and pepperoni pizza though it was said in the menu its for single person only, we managed to eat it as we are 2 people. There is even left over. The food wasn’t bad, we are just amazed really how the restaurant looks like. 💘

The restaurant inside and outside is very beautiful!!! Very elegant and sophisticated. The furnitures is what attract me the most!! Everything you see is wood 😍 it has good view as well as it’s located in the Park!!! 🥰

Price is acceptable, actually I think I had paid for the service and ambiance itself as it very outstanding!! The food is just a bonus points hehehehe

Overall rating:

Location: 10/10 Ambiance: 10/10 Food: 8/10 Service:...

I came for their iftar menu, and it was horrible. we have booked a table prior hand, but they forgot to reserve one for us. The atmosphere was super loud as there was a band playing. And the service was absolutely slow. Then came the food. The menu selection isnt the greatest (but I get it, it's Ramadan). The starters were fine, good assortments, and fine taste. The main course, however, was tasteless. The tikka wasnt well cooked and everything else felt chewy. They brought water bottles as part of the service, but it was room temp (didn't even ask us whether we wanted it that way).. then we asked for leban; which was horrible and not drinkable. Nothing was Turkish about the place btw; not the food, not the uniform, not the design.

They claimed to have a fully booked restaurant, but iftar came and went and more than half the tables remained empty. So they forced us to sit on a cafe couch.

Overall this was a waste of money and I doubt I'm ever coming back. Totally not...
