Turkish Restaurants in Sharm El Sheikh

Alfresco Dining (1)

If you’re craving Turkish food in Sharm El Sheikh, you’re in luck. The city has a good handful of spots that locals and visitors love for their authentic flavors. Don’t expect just the usual shawarma stands. Some places really take pride in fresh herbs, homemade breads, and those little details like the perfect balance of sumac and mint.

One spot I keep going back to is Sultan’s Turkish Restaurant in Naama Bay. Their pide is something special,not too doughy, a bit crispy on the edges, and loaded with cheese and spices. And trust me, their çay (Turkish tea) is the kind that you just sit back and sip slowly, almost like you’re somewhere in Istanbul’s streets, not the Red Sea coast.

If you’re visiting during the hotter months, check out some seaside spots near Soho Square; they serve cold ayran that’s a lifesaver in the heat. Just a heads up: dinner hours tend to be a little later here, so don’t rush. Turkish dining is something you want to take your time with. And if you have a chance, ask for the baklava made fresh in-house,it’s worth the splurge.

What locals know about Turkish food

If you ask me, Turkish food in Sharm El Sheikh gets overlooked a bit, but it really holds its own next to Egyptian or Levantine places here. When you want a break from heavy dishes, Turkish meze is a lighter way to fill up without feeling weighed down. I’d suggest trying Mado in Soho Square if you want a more upscale vibe with reliable Turkish classics,their lahmacun is a top pick.

Also, don't miss out on ordering ayran alongside your meal, especially in summer. It’s a salty yogurt drink that cools you down faster than water and pairs amazingly with grilled meats. And if you want insider advice, ask where the local Turkish expats eat,you’ll find the best-kept spots away from tourist crowds.
