EDITOR'S REVIEW

Get to know the venue before you go

A new generation meyhane in Kuruçeşme where a rakı and meze dinner with Bosphorus views continues with nostalgic Turkish pop and dancing.

Music & programme

Turkish pop from the 1990s and 2000s is the main soundtrack, getting tables moving later in the evening. There are Turkish pop themed programs and occasional stage nights.

Atmosphere

Customer Review Summary

Located in the Kuruçeşme area, this energetic "new-generation" meyhane offers Bosphorus vibes, live Turkish pop music, and a strong culinary menu, making it a great spot for birthdays, celebrations, and large groups. The mezes, crispy mantı (Turkish dumplings), hot appetizers, and main courses are generally fresh, plentiful, and delicious, while the staff is attentive and service is fast. The most common complaint concerns the cramped walkways and dance floor caused by the high number of tables. On busy nights, service can slow down, cigarette smoke may accumulate, and the loud music can be exhausting for some guests. Isolated incidents involving heating issues, communication with the coat check, and a waiter’s rude behavior when settling the bill have also been reported. The process of deducting the deposit from the final bill is usually handled smoothly, and the management proactively addresses any errors, which is a positive aspect. Visiting on a weekday might offer a more relaxed experience.
