Considered smart casual or elegant evening clothes suit the Etiler meyhane, live performances and dancing.

Abajur Etiler offers a "new-generation meyhane" experience—featuring music, dance performances, and a lively atmosphere—that appeals to birthday parties and groups of friends. Most reviews highlight the friendly staff, fast service despite the crowds, and high standards of security and restroom cleanliness. Many regulars appreciate the mezes, main dishes, and pricing. Conversely, a few detailed reviews report hygiene issues—such as dirty tables, plates, and seating, or broken glasses—as well as complaints about stale bread, tiny portions, and bland mezes. The close proximity of tables in the crowded space can compromise comfort, and some staff members are perceived as rude or incompetent. While the entertainment is a strong point, aspects like cleanliness, table placement, and menu quality can vary from visit to visit.
