Vibe 4* Food 3* Service 5* CZN Burak himself 1*

We flew in from Los Angeles and this was the restaurant we wanted to try out, mainly because CZN was also there, and we wanted to take a picture with the man himself. So I'll go over each area in my review

The vibe was ok for a high-end restaurant, I took off 1 star due to the temperature being freezing inside. If you plan to eat here, dress warm.

The food was ok, not at all the hype at what I was expecting it to be. We have tried Turkish food several other times in our stay in Dubai, and all of those restaurants tasted so much better for 1/2th the cost. If the prices here were at least 1/2 of what they are now, then I would give it 5*. But if you're dining here just for the CZN name alone that's fine, but if you're coming for high quality tasting food only, there are plenty of better options elsewhere.

Service I would have to give 5* though. Everyone that worked here was great, and always attentive. Our server made sure to keep checking in on us every 10 mins and made this whole experience at the restaurant better.

Now for CZN Burak himself. I'm sorry, but the guy is not the happy all the time person he seems to be online. When people come from around the world to eat at your restaurant and want to take a quick picture with you, the least you can do is do that. Our table including 4 others were there for FOUR HOURS waiting on CZN to come out and meet and greet, there were only 15 people total waiting to meet him at the time. He could have came out for 5 minutess and met all of us and went on his way, instead he kept telling his staff every 30 mins he'll be out. But in the end he didn't come out, he left through a side door because he didn't want to meet anyone. If that was the case, why couldn't he tell his staff in the beginning? Instead, he makes us and 4 other tables wait for him for hours on the promise he was coming out. The things is, we only waited because he was there and HE HIMSELF told his staff he will be out shortly. Very disappointed in this guy.

But a huge shoutout to the staff for doing all they can to accompany us while we wait, including giving us tea. They were clearly embarrassed by CZN's actions, and we were told this is pretty common of him to do. If you aren't a very wealthy person or a celebrity, chances are 50/50 if he will come out to meet his guests.
