EDITOR'S REVIEW
Get to know the venue before you go
Hakim Bomonti combines dinner, DJ music and stage shows in a compact room in Feriköy. The table-centered format suits celebration groups who want to dine and then carry on in the same room. The set menu is central to the experience, so discuss exactly what it includes before booking.
Music & programme
Soft, nostalgic Turkish music accompanies dinner; DJs, Turkish pop, oriental dance and drum and percussion shows join later. Show order and start times vary, so rely on the latest announcement.
Atmosphere
The enclosed room on Fırın Sokak has closely set long tables, mirrored surfaces and pink-red light over the stage. As the program develops, aisles become dance space. It feels loud and lively with performances right beside guests, rather than like a large club with a spacious floor.
Concept
A new generation meyhane-club model: Turkish and Mediterranean meze and main courses followed by oriental dance, zenne, live rhythm and Turkish-pop DJ segments. The dinner table becomes part of the show.
Guest profile
Groups celebrating birthdays or meeting friends and adults who want Turkish pop and stage shows after dinner. The seating is better suited to groups booking together than visitors who simply want an open dance floor.
Dress code
Comfortable, polished evening clothes are suitable.
Customer Review Summary
Hakim Bomonti is a venue that prioritizes entertainment just as much as dining, featuring stylish décor, nostalgic music, and impressive stage performances. Reviews frequently praise the respectful and attentive staff, the sense of security (which puts groups of women at ease), reasonable prices, and the non-stop entertainment. Opinions on the mezes and main courses are sharply divided; while some guests appreciate the flavor and freshness, others frequently criticize small portions, cold food, delayed service, dry meatballs and chicken, and hygiene issues. Factors that can detract from comfort include the venue being smaller than it appears in social media photos, tables being placed too close together, and cigarette smoke. It is best to clarify table placement (ensuring a view of the stage), menu portions, and service timing when making a reservation; arriving having already eaten is also recommended.
