Customer Review Summary

Bi’ Garip Meyhane is a modern meyhane (traditional tavern) in Nişantaşı that combines mezes, rakı, and 90s Turkish pop music. Those who choose it for weddings, gatherings with friends, or fun nights out praise the food, the service provided by Doğukan Bey, and the warm atmosphere. Due to its ground-floor location, traffic noise and exhaust fumes disturb some tables; smoking and loud music inside can make conversation difficult. There are serious complaints regarding tourists being presented with different price lists, prices changing on the final bill, and food failing to meet expectations. It is advisable to check the table, the smoking area, and the current menu beforehand.
