Petek Restaurant and Sweets, a new Turkish restaurant, has just opened in the capital as the first branch in the UAE. The Turkish restaurant is a joint venture between Rasool Khoory & Sons Group and the Bagul family from Turkey. The restaurant, whose name means “honeycomb” in Turkish, has built a reputation of serving up a mixture of unique flavours in its Turkish dishes.
The restaurant, located on the ground floor of the Rolex Building at World Trade Center, is a 1,300 square metre venue spread across three levels. At the opening, founder and owner of Turkish Petek Restaurants Group, Serkan Alpagul, said: “It is our pleasure to open a new branch here in Abu Dhabi in collaboration with the prestigious and pioneering Mohammed Rasool Khoory Group. At Petek, we personally supervise every item we serve, guarantee the purchase of best quality raw materials, rely on renowned recipes for the preparation of our dishes, purchase and store the best quality nuts such as pistachio, pecan and hazelnut according to the sites and season of their cultivation, and finally, make breads in our own brick oven.”
This won’t be the only branch for the restaurant. Yousof Mohammed Rasool Khoory, the CEO of Mohammed Rasool Khoory & Sons Group, said there are plans for a second branch within the month at Marina Mall and a third branch is scheduled to open on Airport Road in three months.
During Ramadan, Petek Restaurant and Sweets is open from sunset to 1am. After Ramadan, the restaurant will return to its regular timings from 9am to 1am.
