EDITOR'S REVIEW
Get to know the venue before you go
Jemiyet Maslak pairs meze and main courses with DJs, darbuka and dance performances around the tables. Closely placed tables and interactive shows create a lively group night rather than quiet fine dining.
Music & programme
Nostalgic Turkish songs and gentle pop accompany the opening meal. From the 1980s to the 2000s, pop, DJ mixes, darbuka and occasional oriental dance take over. Meze and dinner service develop into a show around the tables; acts and order may vary on special nights.
Atmosphere
Earth tones, arched alcoves and warm brass lighting make a contemporary meyhane interior. Light-colored long tables sit close to each other and the performance area; performers come close to guests during vocal and dance sets.
Concept
A dinner-entertainment meyhane combining traditional meze with modern dishes, set menus, DJs and rhythm and dance acts moving between tables.
Guest profile
Birthday and friend groups seeking food and entertainment at the same table, workers around Maslak and adults who enjoy participating in new generation meyhane programs.
Dress code
Comfortable, considered evening clothes suit Jemiyet Maslak.
Customer Review Summary
Jemiyet Maslak is a fun, "new-generation" meyhane catering to groups of friends and special occasions, featuring a stylish atmosphere, live music, and a generally attentive team. Most reviews highlight the delicious meze and meals, fast service, friendly staff, reasonable prices, and a comfortable crowd profile. Conversely, some experiences involved meze portions that were too small for the number of guests, undercooked chicken and meatballs, a late start to the entertainment, and a venue that was emptier than expected. Criticisms also focus on the lack of clear information regarding extra charges for meat options outside the set menu, the mandatory coat check fee only being revealed upon departure, and small fruit platters. It is best to clarify details regarding availability, menu portions, meat options, the coat check, and all additional fees when making a reservation.
