At Gar Musichall, long rows of tables face the stage. Dancers in red and gold-toned costumes spread broad lengths of fabric across the stage with their movements. Stage lighting, a blue rear wall and circular decor bring the show into focus. Once you sit down, the evening's purpose is clear: watching the stage in front of you and the movements unfolding one after another.

Gar Musichall offers a "Turkish Night" experience—geared particularly toward tourist groups—featuring the atmosphere of a historic gazino (traditional entertainment hall), belly dancing and traditional dance performances, vocalists, and an interactive program involving the audience. Stage performances are widely regarded as entertaining and successful, and the preservation of the historic venue is highly appreciated. The food, however, does not elicit the same level of satisfaction. It is frequently noted that the items on the menu are served in small portions, lack flavor, or suffer from poor service quality during busy periods. Criticisms have been raised regarding the New Year's Eve setup, specifically noting that tables are packed too tightly and waiters moving through the area disrupt the comfort of the guests. Expectations are better met when attending specifically for the entertainment program; it is advisable to inquire about food quality, seating arrangements, and the full package details prior to making a reservation.
