EDITOR'S REVIEW
Efsane Yeni Nesil Meyhane at 212 Outlet in Bağcılar combines meze, ocakbaşı cooking and a rakı table with music in a modern meyhane setting.
Dinner revolves around meze, charcoal-grill dishes and rakı with music. Do not assume a fixed day or time for live performances or DJs; check current announcements on the official Instagram account.
A table-centered rakı dinner gradually becomes a more animated and sociable modern meyhane evening as the music progresses.
A new-generation meyhane combining traditional meyhane culture with a modern ocakbaşı charcoal grill and highlighting dishes cooked over embers.
Friends keen to try ocakbaşı food in a contemporary meyhane and adults interested in rakı-table culture.
Smart casual is recommended for the modern meyhane atmosphere.
Efsane Yeni Nesil Meyhane (Legendary New-Gen Tavern) receives mostly positive reviews for girls' night-out celebrations, lively music, and a fun, friendly atmosphere. Guests appreciate the mezes (appetizers), the attentive staff, and the sense of safety; many also report leaving without any unpleasant surprises on the bill. However, the cramped dining area and closely spaced tables can detract from comfort. Some find the food sloppy—likening it to a children's menu—and consider the dancers' performances lackluster. Criticisms have also been raised regarding the large number of security guards blocking the view of the stage and waiters constantly interrupting the table with flaming torches. The entertainment is strong; however, table location and the flow of the celebration should be discussed at the time of booking.
