EDITOR'S REVIEW
Firuze is on the sixth floor of the Nejat Eczacıbaşı İKSV Building in Şişhane, where a modern İstanbul meyhane overlooks the Golden Horn and Historic Peninsula. Classic meze receive contemporary interpretations; a quiet sunset dinner gradually turns into a sociable night of Turkish music. Artworks and wide city views make the setting part of the experience.
Turkish pop old and new and nostalgic hits lead into DJ selections with a dancing pace. DJ sets, mainly on weekends, mix older and current Turkish tracks. Special nights may differ; ask about your visit date when reserving.
The sixth-floor terrace opens over the Golden Horn and Historic Peninsula; glass frontage preserves the view indoors. Warm sunset light gives way to louder music and more movement among tables at night.
A city meyhane combining modern takes on meze, rakı and wine service, art-filled decor and panoramic Golden Horn views.
Couples seeking dinner with a view, hosts entertaining out-of-town visitors, friends, birthday groups and fans of modern meyhane dining.
Stylish, comfortable evening clothes or smart casual suit both terrace dining and later entertainment.
Firuze Meyhane appeals to groups celebrating special occasions with its views of the Golden Horn and Galata, a terrace featuring white-clothed tables, and a playlist of nostalgic pop music that picks up as the night progresses. The view and ambiance are universally admired; staff are often described as polite and attentive, and the mezes and hot dishes are well-regarded. The most frequent criticism concerns the fixed menu, where portions of mezes, fish, and main courses are considered too small and not worth the price. Service can slow down during busy periods, and there have been reports of missing dishes or tables being cleared too hastily. Opinions on the DJ's music selection and the staff's demeanor are mixed. Entertainment programs may not always be available on weekdays. Details regarding table location, the performance schedule, portion sizes, deposits, and service charges should be clarified at the time of booking.
