Jumeirah Messilah Beach Hotel & Spa, Kuwait’s idyllic resort, is continuing to host its popular Turkish Nights in Garden Café as part of the restaurant’s widely-admired monthly themed nights. Guests are welcome to relish the essence of traditional Turkish cuisine expertly prepared by the resort’s seasoned Turkish Chefs.
Every Friday, Garden Café features numerous traditional home-style Turkish dishes with live-cooking stations of grilled meats offering an expansive selection of delights, including the mouth-watering 48-hour braised lamb, baked rice with chicken and almonds, and Turkish spiced kebabs in different combinations such as pistachio, aubergine, adana and lamb. Specialities also include Lahmacun and assorted Pides. For desserts, aromatic stations cover the signature Nutella flavoured Baklava and Cezerye from Southern Turkey, made of caramelised carrots and enriched with roasted walnuts, hazelnuts and shredded coconut.
The extensive buffet features cuisine from all Turkish regions, cooked by expert Turkish chefs using ingredients imported from their home country and combined with local flavours to enhance the taste for curious diners. The menu also features dishes inspired by the Ottoman Empire, such as dolma – a dish of stuffed vegetables – with five different options available.
Diners are welcomed with a traditional Turkish sherbet drink, while the night is rounded off with a serving of either a special blend of Turkish tea or freshly baked Turkish coffee. With more than 24 cold dishes, 34 hot and 24 delectable desserts there’s something to suit all tastes. Turkish Nights are scheduled for every Friday from 7pm to 11 pm for KWD 15 per person and offer indoor and outdoor seating.
