EDITOR'S REVIEW
Ezell İstanbul pairs Beyoğlu rooftop views with Turkish pop, DJs and dance shows in a new generation dinner venue. A retractable roof makes the terrace usable in different seasons.
Light nostalgic and dinner music comes first. Later Turkish pop, club remixes, darbuka, oriental dance and DJ sets take over. Check daily show order and times in official announcements.
A retractable glass roof, city-facing tables and neon stage lights frame a lively post-dinner space where guests dance around the tables.
A multifunctional new generation meyhane and rooftop club-restaurant blending views of İstanbul and the Historic Peninsula with modern club shows, oriental dance, fire performances and energetic DJ sets.
Friends seeking dinner and views in Beyoğlu, birthday and bachelor or bachelorette groups, and adults who enjoy Turkish pop and shows.
A polished night-out look suits the terrace: a smart dress or shirt and clean shoes. Avoid tracksuits and beach flip-flops.
Ezell Istanbul is a "new-generation" meyhane (traditional tavern) that is popular—especially among women's groups and for birthday celebrations—thanks to its terrace view, DJ, and live entertainment. Positive reviews highlight the successful mezes and meals, friendly staff, reasonable prices, and a good balance of security and gender ratio. The high energy of the entertainer leading the show is frequently praised. Conversely, there are complaints about cramped table layouts, small or cold portions, stale bread, and inadequate drink service. Guests have expressed annoyance at high surcharges for swapping items (such as cheese, melon, or drinks) outside the fixed menu, as well as at waiters and security staff soliciting tips. Some female guests found the behavior of the staff or the clientele inappropriate. The menu, extras, and cake service details should be clarified in advance.
