Sur.Dubai, a brand-new gem loosely derived from Istanbul’s iconic SurBalık seafood restaurant has finally opened its doors in the city and foodies are already going crazy! Located at the hip Atrium Level 2 of Uptown Tower, Sur.Dubai Turkish presents a unique blend of Turkish coastal cuisine, live music, signature cocktails, and a weekly roster of theme nights designed to tease your senses. Sur.Dubai offers a sophisticated escape, whether you are a Dubai resident or a visitor seeking a refined night out.
Read on as we delve deeper into this new culinary gem in town!
What’s In It?
Sur.Dubai takes inspiration from legendary SurBalık, the 20-year-oldIstanbul institution and seafood restaurant legend. Known for its tasty, fresh food, Sur.Dubai continues the valuable tradition of sea and Mediterranean cuisine, especially that of Turkey’s Aegean and Mediterranean coasts. Both coasts are renowned for the abundance of sea food, simple yet tasty preparations, using olive oil, herbs, and fresh vegetables.
The interiors of the restaurants are a salute to seaside, blending modernity with Mediterranean accents, whisking you away at once to the shores of Aegean. For seating, you can either dine inside and have your meal in the outside balcony. Whether as a quick meal or a finish-the-night-off dinner, the venue seamlessly accommodates any temperament. The eye for detail is evident in every single detail — from the table settings to lighting, each of them a part of relaxed sophisticated ambiance.
What’s On the Menu?
Drawing inspiration from Aegean and Mediterranean traditions, the menu offers sophisticated seafood with a twist. Imagine fresh, luxurious ingredients tempered by understated, old-world techniques. Plates are finished with olive oil, herbs, and seasonal fruits — a reference to Turkish coast cuisine. The meze platter itself is an adventure, with larger plates presenting elegantly grilled fish and spiced rice dishes filled with the delights of the sea.
At the bar, Sur.Dubai mixologists are creative masters in their own right. The bar menu is carefully designed to complement the cuisines of food being served, whether a dry white wine with a seafood platter or an aromatic cocktail spiked with Mediterranean herbs. The mocktails are just as creative in order that there is something to drink for all the guests. Aperitivo, midnight cocktails, or celebratory champagne — the bar never runs on fumes and flair.
Here’s what you must not miss if you’re heading to Sur.Dubai this month!

Nostalgic Turkish music perfectly complements the ambiance, adding to the experience. Besides, the dim lighting and live music make it ideal for a romantic dinner or a quick catch up with friends after a hectic week.
