These Turkey Takeaways in Dubai Will Make You Say “Thank You” Even If It’s Not Thanksgiving
What food comes first in your mind when you think about the holiday season? If you ask me, it has to be turkey!
But we all know the long and laborious process that’s involved in preparing that big bird, and most of us – including me – just don’t have the time and skill for that.
Luckily, you can easily order a turkey takeaway in Dubai with all the trimmings at these spots. All you have to do is set the table, dress up, and treat yourself to a hearty meal, whether it’s Thanksgiving or just an ordinary day.

Cordelia is one of my favourite restaurants in Palm Jumeirah because of its stunning views and delicious food. So when I found out that they also offer turkey takeaway in Dubai, I knew that I had to try it right away.
But getting that turkey isn’t as simple as placing an order and picking up your bird. I quickly discovered that a lot of people order their takeaways from November to December.
When I finally got my hands on the famous turkey, I instantly knew why it was such a hit. The bird has been expertly cooked by the restaurant’s chefs and includes all the classic trimmings that you love in a Thanksgiving meal.
For AED750, you can already enjoy a turkey and trimmings for up to six guests and feed up to ten people for an order worth AED920.
Pro tip:
If you don’t want to miss out on the chance to enjoy Cordelia’s turkey feast, make sure that you place your orders at least 48 hours in advance.

Chival Global Social isn’t just your typical restaurant. It has become a place for socialisation and community over healthy food. And yes, it serves one of the best turkey takeaways in Dubai.
What I love about this restaurant is the experience that you get from just enjoying a quiet breakfast or lunch at one of their chic dining spaces, or the sophistication of enjoying dinner while watching the Dubai sunset.
But when the holiday season kicks in, Chival Global Social is most famous for its turkey takeaway. You have the option to order a 2.5-kilogram half roast turkey or a 5-kilogram whole roast turkey with all the classic trimmings.
Pro tip:
Chival Global Social only serves turkey from December 14 to 26, so you can expect a flood of orders at the restaurant. This is why they advise that you book your turkey at least two days before your event, so you can just pick it up or have it delivered to your home.

When I think about Reform Social and Grill, I instantly imagine delicious English food. But it turns out that this gastropub also serves one of the best turkey takeaways that I’ve tried in Dubai.
Throughout the holiday season, the restaurant accepts orders for turkey takeaway. The meal also comes with all the classic trimmings, so all you have to do is serve them up to your guests.
Reform offers a regular turkey and trimmings for up to six guests at AED750. But if you’re feeding a large crowd, go for the larger order at AED1,100.
Pro tip:
Are you planning to dine at Reform Social and Grill on a regular day? Try their Pizza and Prosecco Night every Monday or Curry Night every Tuesday.

I was lucky to enjoy a staycation at Jumeirah Zabeel Saray. But I discovered more than just this amazing resort in Palm Jumeirah. I also tried – and loved – one of the most delicious turkey takeaways in Dubai.
Take note that the resort only offers its special turkey meal from October to December, and you have the option to choose your set depending on how many people you’re feeding.
I love that they have a meal for two for AED399, which is perfect for those craving a turkey meal for themselves or a partner. But if you’re feeding ten people, you can order a massive feast at Jumeirah Zabeel Saray for AED1,399.
Each order doesn’t only come with a special roasted turkey but also all the sides that make for the perfect accompaniment to your bird.
Pro tip:
If you have the extra budget, go ahead and treat yourself to a stay at Jumeirah Zabeel Saray. Here, you get to escape from the hustle of the city without actually leaving the city.

I’ve always known Tocha as one of the best Japanese restaurants in Dubai. But this luxury cafe apparently also serves a delicious turkey takeaway in Dubai, one I needed to try right away.
Was I impressed by the restaurant’s version of a classic Thanksgiving meal? Absolutely! Their Christmas lunch offering includes a perfectly roasted turkey and all your favourite sauces like the classic cranberry sauce and turkey jus.
The trimmings are also just as impressive as the bird. Aside from the classic roasted potatoes, I also love their French beans, roasted carrots, truffled and confit onions. Oh, and don’t forget to order their chocolate pine nuts for the perfect ending.
Pro tip:
If you still haven’t tried a traditional Japanese afternoon tea ritual, visit Tocha from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM daily to experience this ritual for just AED180 per person.

You might not think of a French restaurant when you want to order turkey takeaway in Dubai. But Couqley will surely change your mind with its massive turkey offering, including all the sides.
This traditional French restaurant may be best known for its steak frites and moules frites, but its turkey is definitely a real showstopper.
What you’ll get is a surprisingly traditional turkey roasted until its skin is golden brown. But once you taste the bird, you’ll instantly notice the French flavours that are quite pleasing and surprising to the palate.
For AED799, you get to enjoy a whole turkey that can feed the entire family. But if you want your meal to be extra special, you can always order your turkey takeaway with all the trimmings for just AED1,199.
Pro tip:
You can’t be in a French restaurant without trying the most classic French meal there is – steak frites. Visit Couqley on Monday for a special steak frites meal with two dishes, a bottle of wine and even dessert for just AED349.

Ernst Biergarten is my go-to pub whenever I’m craving a hearty German meal with beer. Little did I know that this pub also serves one of the best turkey takeaways in Dubai, and I was blown away.
Ernst’s turkey is juicy, succulent and absolutely delicious with a combination of American and Bavarian flavours. But what really made me fall in love with this takeaway is the trimmings that come with the bird.
It comes with traditional mashed potatoes, bread stuffing, gravy and cranberry jam. Aside from those, you’ll also get to enjoy classic braised red cabbage and roasted Brussels sprouts, which take this meal to a whole new level.
And did I mention that you get up to 7 kilograms of turkey with all the trimmings for just AED800? This is why Ernst has been my go-to for spontaneous dinners at home because their food is impressive but easy on the pocket.
Pro tip:
If you want to experience a traditional Bavarian meal while watching a live sporting event, make sure to book a table at Ernst Biergarten. Don’t forget to try their German beers on draught while you’re at it!

Matagi at Raffles The Palm may be most known for its Izakaya-style dining. But I was pleasantly surprised to know that from November to January, the restaurant also offers one of the best turkey takeaways in Dubai.
The restaurant doesn’t just cook a traditional turkey for you to take home. You get a bird that’s expertly cooked with a touch of modern Japanese flavours that really make it extra special.
You even have the option to order all the trimmings that you’d want to eat with your turkey. And if you’re looking to end your meal with something sweet, their dessert selection is just as impressive as their mains.
Pro tip:
If you want to try Matagi’s delicious Japanese food on regular days, we highly recommend their robata meat. It features roasted whole lobster and Kurohana Japanese wagyu A5 striploin steak.

Ordering a turkey takeaway in Dubai from a cafe and bakery may not make sense. But La Farine proves you otherwise with its delicious offering that’s perfect for Thanksgiving, Christmas or just because you want to eat turkey.
While turkey isn’t included in the cafe’s menu, they accept orders for this massive feast for you to take home for the entire holiday season. La Farine also has one of the most budget-friendly turkey meal offerings at just AED895 to feed up to ten people.
You can also order some of their classic dishes like their herb-grilled lamb chops, slow-cooked octopus and slow-cooked Australian beef brisket to complete your feast.
Pro tip:
Aside from its succulent turkey, La Farine is also known for its delicious breakfast offerings. Choose your pastry from the baker’s counter, try their fluffy coconut pancakes or go all out with their steak and egg. It’s accompanied by a classic cup of coffee expertly made by their baristas.
