Ikendar Kebab is a must-visit for kebab lovers! Their perfectly seasoned, tender kebabs are rich in flavor and paired with fresh sides like bread, salads, and dips. The portions are generous, the ingredients high-quality, and the service friendly and attentive. A top-notch spot for a delicious, authentic dining experience!

So our taxi captain told us about islanders kabab

We ordered
Mix kabab good for 4 adults (4 nan bread comes with it )
Iskander meat kabab good for 1 adult
Hummus
Tabbouleh
Lentil soup

Apologies for the poor picks but food was too good

Everything tasted too good and flavourful meat was succulent and tender
Bread was fresh and very soft.

Hummes was very dense and flavourful even Tabbouleh was also very fresh.

Lentil soup was lite and very good.

Overall experience 9/10

Loved every bite of it

This place was recommended by a friend and definitely held up to expectations. The meat was very tender and the rice was just right. The tea was perhaps the best part tho. Will definitely be back.

Finally, I tried ikender kebab, which was long awaited,
Place is small but nice seating arrangements both indoor and outdoor,
Outdoor was a good option due to slightly chilled weather,
Service is average, waiter got angry bcz we wanted another waiter who could speak hindi, kept giving us grumpy gestures,
Food: ordered two Laham Iskender and one chicken ikender with rice, plus Turkish bread with soup,
Bread and soup weren't good, especially when you have tried مطعم ترکی "where they give this bread and soup complementary, and the taste is superb,
Chicken iskender was good,
Laham wasn't good as it was dry and had too much smell of mutton,
Can try chicken options next time,
Overall experience 6/10

Very delicious food, super fast service. Hamid was very friendly. I enjoyed eating here. Highly recommended to everyone. I tried lamb and iskender, both were super delicious. Do not miss to try it.

Very good eatery in Makkah, located in old Makkah Nuj neighbourhood. Location is very good, out of Makkah hajj crowd.

Menu is quite rich, all popular Turkish kebabs are available. Kebabs are normal according to Turkish standard, but nans are too good.

Staffs are well-behaved, can speak different languages other than Arabic. Service speed is very good. We didn’t check the washroom facilities, found overall clenliness at par.

Not much spacious, recommended for small groups. Parking is not issue here, free street parking is available.
