Neccla İstanbul

An upbeat mix runs from nostalgic pop to arabesque fantasy and Turkish dance tunes. DJs are joined by darbuka, oriental and zenne shows. DJ and stage acts take place seven nights a week, with modern dance, oriental, zenne and darbuka alternating.

Lit stage, high ceilings and frequent shows make the big room crowded, showy and lively; it develops a stronger club feel later.

A new generation meyhane where a set-menu dinner continues with DJs and dance in the same room, with entertainment spreading from stage to tables.

Friend groups celebrating by the Maltepe coast, birthday and bachelor or bachelorette parties, and adults who enjoy Turkish music, DJs and dance.

Smart, polished night-out clothes suit the venue. Dress shoes or stylish shoes instead of sneakers may make entry easier.

At Neccla Yeni Nesil Meyhane, while some visitors are pleased with the music, security, and the atmosphere for an all-female night out, many others report serious organizational failures. The high ceilings create an airy feel, though the table layout can seem cramped. Criticisms focus on small meze portions, the quality of main courses, drinks served warm, slow or indifferent service, and the entertainment program on busy nights. There are also instances where the venue was closed or guests were redirected elsewhere despite having a reservation. Feedback is decidedly mixed; it is advisable to get details regarding the menu, program, and reservation confirmation in writing.
