If your Ramadan plans involve meaningful conversations, sea breeze therapy, and food that makes you pause mid-bite and say “okay wow,” then let’s talk about what’s happening at Rixos Al Mairid Ras Al Khaimah.
This year, they’re serving Iftar with a distinctly Turkish twist at Orient Restaurant—and honestly, it’s not just dinner. It’s a full-on Anatolian affair, set against a private beachfront that practically whispers, “stay a little longer.”
Where Lantern Light Meets Sea Breeze
Picture this: warm lantern glow, elegant detailing, the soft rhythm of the coastline in the background, and a table full of food you’re absolutely not going to share politely.
Whether you’re seated indoors soaking in the refined ambiance or out on the terrace under the evening sky, the vibe hits just right. It’s calm. It’s intimate. It’s the kind of setting where conversations flow easily and nobody’s checking the time. Exactly how Ramadan evenings should feel.
A Sharing-Style Feast (AKA Come Hungry)
This isn’t a “one plate, done” situation. The Turkish Iftar menu is designed for sharing—so bring people you actually like.
You’ll start strong with vibrant mezze that showcase the depth of Anatolian flavors. Think Salatalik Dovme with crushed cucumber and herbs, smoky Muhammara with spicy walnuts and roasted peppers, Levrek, Mutabbal, Cig Kofte, and that classic hummus that somehow tastes better when it’s served in a beautiful setting.
Fresh salads like Ezine & Domates and Zaatar & Patlican add color and texture, because balance is important… even when you’re about to go all-in on kebabs.
And then come the hot appetisers—Kibbeh, Samosa, and Kavurmali Pide—passed around warm and inviting. This is the moment you realize pacing yourself was a nice idea in theory.
The Main Event (Yes, Adana Kebab Is Here)
When it’s time for mains, the real stars show up.
The Adana Kebab arrives flame-grilled and richly seasoned, alongside tender Chicken Shish, succulent Beef Shish, and the classic Ali Nazik—slow-cooked meat layered over velvety smoked aubergine purée. It’s authentic, it’s refined, and it’s the kind of meal that makes you reconsider your “I’ll just eat light tonight” promise.
Every dish strikes that perfect balance between traditional and elevated. Familiar flavors, but dressed up for a beachfront Ramadan evening.
Dessert: Because You’re Definitely Not Skipping It
You know how some people say they’re “too full for dessert”? This is not one of those nights.
Golden Turkish baklava, delicately layered with pistachios and fine pastry, arrives alongside traditional Turkish ice cream—with that playful texture that makes it more than just a scoop in a bowl. Pair it with signature Ramadan beverages and you’ve got a sweet finale that feels indulgent but comforting at the same time.
Basically, it’s the kind of ending that makes you lean back in your chair and just smile.
