Meşale Restaurant & Cafe

On a wet day with windows closed and heating on, the atmosphere was blue with cigarette smoke. Disgusting. The law prohibits smoking, but the maitre d simply shrugged his shoulders when I complained. Will avoid from now on.

They are cheating with prices here. For example, tea costs 50 lira on the menu, but they charged us 170 lira on the bill

This café is located near Arasta Bazaar, and you’ll easily come across it if you turn right from Sultanahmet Mosque. It’s a great spot to relax while exploring the area. I recommend trying their coffee, ice cream, and shisha. The atmosphere is especially enjoyable, and the highlight is watching the traditional dervish dance — it’s truly a wonderful and memorable experience.

Herşey çok güzeldi kendimi eski yıllarda hissettim

Super experiencia con shisha y baile incluido

the staff was so unkind our whole experience was ruined.

Cartelli con su scritto vietato fumare ovonque , il bello che sono anche in ramadan fino al 20 marzo ,dove è vietato anche fumare , un delirio , intorno a noi la gente si è fumata anche i divani, consiglio.... , per chi non vuole uscire da lì puzzando come una ciminiera , evitate questo posto!

baya kötü

I love this open door cafe/ Restaurant, a place to take a break and recharge before continuing shopping in Arasta bazaar.

Good cafe

Very nice restaurant with live music. We had Mezze and Cay. Staff was very friendly.

Recién aterrizados en Estambul y literalmente muertos de hambre, entramos en este restaurante pensando que sería la típica trampa para turistas. Sin embargo, fue toda una sorpresa: la comida estaba muy rica, bien preparada y con sabor auténtico. Además, la música tradicional en directo le da un ambiente muy especial y hace que la experiencia sea todavía más agradable. Un acierto inesperado y totalmente recomendable.
