Meşale - Istanbul

Good place to eat and refresh, it is open non stop and they can find live music in the night. prices may be quite expensive compared to other restaurants, but still ok, service is good and efficient, eating is normal, some dishes are better than others and schishas are good for the price.

Fresh good food. Given bread. Shisha was really good and has a very vast menu. Order was extremely quick. Best restaurant I’ve been to in Istanbul by far. Very good prices too. Highly recommend.

The atmosphere of the restaurant is amazing. You can feel the Turkishness of the place. The service is fast and the staff speaks English which is a plus in my book. The band played oriental and sufi songs to set the mood. I ordered the frozen strawberry frozen, it was not to sweet, light and fresh. Perfect for cooling down in this weather. We ordered Peach hookah, it was good. Then the old man came and danced the Sufi dance, it was calming and spiritual. I would recommend this place if you want to chill out with your friends. They have food but I wasn’t hungry.

We went here for our first meal in Istanbul. This restaurant in sultanahmet is opened till late in the night. The food was decent and the cai was refreshing. They have the whirling dervish shows happening here. Make sure to get here early to get some good seats.

We found the place while strolling along. We did not look at the reviews and decided to give it a try. The staff was extremely nice and welcoming. They had live music and dancing dervish. It was quite busy but they gave us great seats. The food was excellent. We had Urfa kebabs that were delicious and perfectly cooked. One person in our party had food allergies and they went out of their way to accommodate. We had a wonderful evening and tried it again 2 nights later with even better experience.
