Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be at the heart of a buzzing, beachside restaurant, making someone’s day with a smile and some seriously delicious food? That's exactly what you’ll find at Limon Turkish Cuisine, right on Al Hirah Beach. We’re looking for warm, friendly Waiters and Waitresses to join our close-knit team.

About Limon Turkish Cuisine
Step into Limon and you’ll notice it’s more than just a restaurant — it’s a lively gathering spot inspired by the warmth of Turkish hospitality. Our team comes from all walks of life, but we share a genuine passion for making guests feel at home (and maybe debating who makes the best baklava). At our Al Hirah Beach branch, you’ll find bright energy, teamwork that goes beyond the shift schedule, and a real sense of pride in what we serve. Fridays often mean staff lunches and seaside laughs, and we try to keep things friendly, supportive, and refreshingly open.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Welcoming guests with genuine warmth, making everyone feel like part of the family
- Presenting menus, answering questions, and sharing your favorite recommendations (it helps if you love a good kebab story)
- Coordinating with kitchen staff to ensure orders are accurate and timely
- Keeping your section tidy and inviting — a little attention to detail goes a long way
- Handling guest requests and resolving simple issues with patience and a can-do attitude
- Processing bills and payments with a cheerful, professional manner
- Pitching in wherever needed, because we believe no task is “not my job” when the restaurant’s humming
What You’ll Bring
Good English communication skills — chatting easily with guests and teammates
A genuinely friendly, energetic personality (enthusiasm is contagious here)
The ability to work in a fast-paced, sometimes unpredictable environment
Willingness to learn — whether it’s menu items or the art of balancing five plates
Must-haves:
- A knack for staying organized on the go
- Reliability and punctuality — your teammates and guests count on you
Nice-to-haves:
- Previous experience as a waiter/waitress, or in any customer service role
- Interest in Turkish cuisine and culture (don’t worry, we’ll teach you plenty!)
Not sure you tick every box? We’d still love to hear from you.
Why You’ll Love Working Here
- Competitive base salary, plus shared tips — because great service should be rewarded
- Beachside location at Al Hirah, with fresh air and gorgeous views on your breaks
- Free staff meals (yes, the rumors about our homemade Turkish bread are true)
- Opportunities for flexible shifts and career growth — your ambition is welcome here
- Enjoy a friendly, genuinely supportive environment where teamwork is more than a buzzword
- Fun staff events, food tastings, and a relaxed yet professional vibe
Joining Limon means becoming part of a tight team that looks out for each other and for our guests. If you’re looking for a place to grow, make friends, and enjoy every (sometimes busy) day, we think you’ll feel right at home.
