EDITOR'S REVIEW

Get to know the venue before you go

A modern meyhane in Ataşehir where dinner gives way to stage shows and dancing. Table conversation, drinks and evening music share the same informal setting.

Music & programme

Live performances accompany dinner. Later, DJ sets and Turkish pop from the 1990s and 2000s come forward. Live acts, DJs and occasional shows follow a program.

Atmosphere

The evening begins around dining tables and takes on a club feel as the stage and dance floor get busier. Seating remains suited to conversation, though music raises the energy later.

Customer Review Summary

The Muhtar is a lively dining and entertainment venue that offers an environment for conversation early in the evening, transitioning to DJ sets, drumming, and dance performances as the night progresses. The mezes, hot appetizers, and fish dishes are generally delicious, and guests report successful experiences organizing special celebrations and large group gatherings. Greek-themed nights and music from various eras are particularly popular. Common complaints include indoor smoking, inadequate ventilation in certain areas, and loud music that makes conversation difficult. On busy nights, service may slow down, table spacing can feel cramped, and communication regarding reservations may experience hiccups. Suitable for groups looking for a lively time; however, it might be less comfortable for those seeking a quiet, smoke-free evening.
