EDITOR'S REVIEW
A strong evening option that combines a grill-side meal with Bosphorus views, live music and traditional entertainment. It makes more sense for those wanting to take part in a fasıl or sıra night than for those expecting a quiet dinner; how close you sit to the stage and the table arrangement affect the experience.
WHO IT SUITS
Suitable for couples, groups of friends and people arranging a birthday or company dinner who want kebabs and meze alongside live fasıl or a sıra night in the same evening. Those seeking a quiet evening with long conversations should choose hours without a program.
HIGHLIGHTS
The Bosphorus-side setting, open and enclosed gardens, ocakbaşı grill and genuinely live stage experience are strengths. It also has room for large celebrations.
NOTE
À la carte service is available alongside the set menu; a 10% service charge is added to menu prices. The ocakbaşı's door number is 89; do not confuse it with other Boaz addresses in the same group. Ask about that night's music and the full bill terms when booking.
GETTING THERE
At Kuruçeşme Mahallesi, Muallim Naci Caddesi No:89, Beşiktaş, along the Ortaköy–Kuruçeşme waterfront. It can be reached by coastal bus or taxi. Allow extra time for evening traffic and open the location using the ocakbaşı's exact address.
