Turkouise

Jeddah


The decor is contemporary and the food provides an authentic taste of Turkey – little wonder this restaurant draws many Turkish expats. The Tarsus kebab is a local favourite, while the lamb shish and kofta kebab also top the list of best dishes. Bread and salad is served with every meal.
