Ibrahim Al Joufaili, Makkah 24372, Saudi Arabia
This is my third visit to Gurkan Restaurant in Makkah, and it continues to impress. The steak and kofta were absolutely delicious, cooked to perfection, and the Gürkan Sef Special salad, Hummus and fries made for amazing appetizers. I highly recommend focusing on the meat dishes since they are the restaurant’s specialty. As for the chicken dishes, they didn’t quite live up to expectations, so I would suggest skipping them. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience, and we had a wonderful time.
I highly recommend Gürkan Şef Steakhouse for anyone who loves high-quality, delicious food. This restaurant offers a unique dining experience, especially with their beautifully presented fire steak. This time, we ordered lasagna and steak, and everything was excellent. The staff and waiters are professional and provide great service. The restaurant’s design is also special—it feels different from many other places, offering a cozy and enjoyable atmosphere. All the food is fresh, and you can see the quality of the meat. Before your meal, they serve fresh, hot Arabic bread with olive oil and a delicious smashed olive spread. If you’re visiting Makkah or living there, I highly recommend this restaurant. The food is amazing, and I really enjoyed it!
We visited Gürkan Şef and were truly impressed. My wife ordered the hummus meze with bread, and I had the New York steak – the meat was incredibly tender, juicy, and cooked exactly the way I wanted. The flavors were well-balanced and of top quality. Beyond the food, the service was outstanding! We had the pleasure of being served by Omar Farzan, who provided an exceptionally warm and professional experience. His hospitality truly made our dinner special. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who appreciates great food and top-notch service!
Sure! Here's a polished 4-star review based on your input: --- Great Food and Service, but a Bit Pricey – 4 Stars The overall experience was very pleasant. While the prices are definitely on the higher side, the quality of the food made it worth it. The potato harra was a standout—flavorful and perfectly cooked. The mushroom steak was also quite good, juicy and well-seasoned. Service was excellent. The staff were professional, courteous, and neatly dressed, which really added to the atmosphere. Cleanliness was another plus—bathrooms were spotless and the seating area was tidy and comfortable. Just a bit more affordable, and it would’ve been a solid 5 stars. Would definitely return!
One of the best restaurants in Mecca and even in Saudi Arabia, it serves a very good Turkish cuisine. The beef is fresh and yummy. I went more than one time and every time I find it great with the same quality.
