EDITOR'S REVIEW
I find that Serona İstanbul stands out among similar venues in the area for its varied menu and comfortable spaces. It is one of Çekmeköy's most satisfying, relaxed meeting places, especially for those who enjoy hookah, international food and conversations lasting for hours. Dinner with live music and new-generation meyhane entertainment are prominent in its current evening experience. Anyone planning a visit for breakfast, hookah or a match screening needs to check whether those services are still offered before going.
WHO IT SUITS
Ideal for groups of friends who want to try generous portions of international food and then socialise over hookah in comfortable seats. It also suits guests wanting to share the excitement of a derby with a crowd or have Sunday breakfast with family in a spacious setting. Those who want to hear a favourite singer over dinner, sing along with friends and join new-generation meyhane entertainment may also enjoy it.
HIGHLIGHTS
Its main advantages are an easily reached central location in Çekmeköy and very spacious retractable terrace areas suited to the season. Its wide menu and valet and parking services, which remove parking concerns, add substantially to its appeal.
NOTE
Knowing that the venue offers hookah and hosts match screenings on some evenings is important for setting the right expectations. If you want a smoke-free, quieter space or an area away from the match, ask staff for suitable seating when you arrive.
GETTING THERE
The venue is in an accessible, lively part of Çekmeköy and can be reached via the Şile Motorway connection or the main roads through the district centre. Valet and parking facilities are provided for guests arriving by car; public transport on the Madenler-Çekmeköy route also provides practical access to the area.
