Zulu İstanbul

Ethnic house and deep chill-out set the early mood. Later, Turkish pop classics, oriental remixes and upbeat club tracks take over. Percussion and darbuka shows, oriental dance, activity on the sand and pop-remix DJ sets move the night from open-air dinner to dancing.

Ethnic wooden sculptures, open-air fire pits, palms, woven lighting, broad lawns and a tropical tiki-bar look create an outdoor escape from the city.

An entertainment venue built around open-air meze and dinner service, ethnic decor, a garden, DJs and occasional stage shows.

Large friend groups, celebration parties and city visitors seeking outdoor dinner followed by lively music.

Comfortable, polished evening clothes suit Zulu İstanbul.

Zulu Istanbul is appreciated for its open-air atmosphere, music that blends various genres, and a layout well-suited for group events. Visitors have praised the food, drinks, and generous portions, noting that staff members are helpful in arranging special occasions like marriage proposals and birthdays. On the other hand, the content and execution of the set menu appear inconsistent. Criticisms include small or tasteless mezes, underwhelming main courses, inconsistent terms offered to different guests, and unequal attention paid to various celebrations. The venue's design is a major asset; however, for large group events, details regarding the menu, drinks, and celebration services should be agreed upon in writing beforehand.
