It's the best place to watch new years celebrations. It's built on height so you can view most of Istanbul and enjoy good food with sheesha and drinks.

Arya Lounge Istanbul delivers an unforgettable experience! Their hookah/shisha/arguili selection is top-tier, complemented by reasonable pricing. What truly sets them apart is the breathtaking view - arguably the best in Istanbul. Whether you’re a hookah enthusiast or just seeking an amazing atmosphere, Arya Lounge is a must-visit destination. Impeccable service, unbeatable views, and exceptional hookah make for an unparalleled experience!

While the place is one of many in the same area, the overall experience here is different. I’m rating based on my experience having been to many other cafes around it. The vibe is cool, the view is stunning and the service is great. You just need to be smart and know what you’re ordering as to stay on budget. Otherwise, your bill can get quite high. For example, the waiter will try hard to convince you to get the “high performance” nargile which is priced at tl550 while you can easily order the classic for tl280-350. As a Nargile smoker, I can assure you that there is no difference except for the shape/look. Overall, the Nargile is excellent! Clean toilets and great drinks (Turkish coffee and Tea).

Love this place.. One of my favourite places and most fantastic spots in Istanbul.. Great place, great service, amazing view.. Wanna say thank you to Deniz and everyone.. Staff are friendly and customer centric.. Foods, drinks and Shisha are good.. Would say prices are fair compared to other places in Istanbul.. Definitely recommended..

Although everyone recommended it, and the view and the location is very nice indeed, but it‘s not clean!! First, the dishes were not clean so we asked them to replace them, which is ok, it can happen anywhere. Then we got the food, I saw some hairs here and there, first time I ignored it, second time as well but then I was looking at the salad and there was a worm! I couldn’t ignore that and then we told them, first they claimed it was cheese but then they saw it moving! Then their response was “it’s only one” and I was like what are you suggesting that I should eat it? Isn’t one enough!!! So they got angry and just took the salad and everybody stopped eating! They didn’t even apologize!! It was the worst to be honest I didn’t expect that! The least they could do was apologize! I don’t recommend it! You can go to other rooftop restaurants with good view, there are many! Just not this one!

Amazing views for dinner & hookah. Enjoy lots of varieties of tea as well. Recommendations: Winter Tea Turkish Tea Hummus

Place very cleaned, nice stuff. The view is awesome. You could see the Bosphorus Strait that connected the Black Sea. Their menu has a lot of drinks and sweet. I tried the Turkish coffee with chocolate taste. The second floor has awesome views, but it's a little cold, so don't forget to ask for a planket 😀. The prices are acceptable . So I recommend that place to visit and try

We’re visiting from overseas and we are so glad we found this gem! Terrific place to eat good food in an awesome atmosphere with amazing views— maybe the best view in Istanbul of the European side with Galata Tower. The price was reasonable for all that we received on this special and memorable evening. It was so wonderful that we’ve decided we will go back a second time before we leave Istanbul! Thank you Arya Lounge ~ ~ Earth Vagabonds 🤗💫🌍✌️

Food is super delicious Usually I follow recommendations from Google map and reviews and always I have a good choice! The potion is Good and enouggh!!!!

A must to visit in istanbul! From the view, to the menu options, to the great service and whole ambiance, its hard to describe the wow factor. Suzanne our waitress especially made us feel like we were just at home!

Nice view, good service, clean place… music too loud (hard to communicate sometime) chairs aren’t very cozy but for view I’ll go their again. Sheesha is same as everywhere else.

Today I tried a new restaurant in the area other than the other rooftop ones in the area. Coming in the staff was very welcoming and it was a great atmosphere. We proceed to order and they said the grill is broken so grilled foods will take 50 minutes minimum. We accept that and move on. 5 minutes later the staff comes back and says they don’t have the type of meat we wanted. We then ask to remove the food and keep the drinks. They maintain professionalism and tried everything to keep our food order, they even brought the manager out. The staff was great and I assure you it’s a great lounge. This review is for awareness on the possible broken grill on your stay, not the actual lounge.

Thrilling.. It's absolutely fantastic.. It's not great service. it's excellent!!!! Huge thanks to everyone, especially Dennis.. Service feels like as if you have Aladdin Fanoos.. I love it. 🥰🥰🥰 Food is yummy and great, served quickly and fresh.. Drinks are good.. Shisha is superb, which is not the case everywhere in Istanbul.. The atmosphere is nice, the view is fantastic.. It is expensive, but I would say I still definitely recommend.. Had a great evening..

A lovely chill vibe, not many seats outside facing the view so if it’s busy you might not get the view you want! Nevertheless, the food and especially the drinks were very tasty. The san sebastian cheesecake was also very delicious! Be prepared for a service charge which isn’t optional.

My brother who lives in Turkey brought me to Arya Lounge and honestly it was the best shisha, food, tea service I have experienced so far. Everything is amazing! Especially the view! Absolutely gorgeous. Also the music is a mix of Turkish and American so you get a little of both. Will definitely come back!

By far best shisha lounge in Istanbul! Upon discovering it, came back 2 more times during my trip. The strawberry mojito(n/a) is the BEST I had. Highly recommend. Had the fries and San Sebastián one night and both were good. The staff is so nice and the service is amazing. Very attentive and keep the space clean. Never feel rushed or anything. Enjoy the atmosphere, music and views. Such a cute place and very pretty scene wherever you choose to sit. From outdoor to indoor seating. The shisha…. BEST shisha and service I’ve ever had in my life. Lasts so long and the flavor is great. Personal order was the watermelon mint and I loved it. Absolutely will be back here when I visit again! Thank you Arya ❤️

Great view of the Bosphorus, Galata Tower etc. Shisha is reasonably priced @ around 650TL Shisha arrived quickly. Coal was changed regularly. The waiter Cafer was very polite and attentive. Very good service. I did not have anything to eat so can not comment on that.

Great atmosphere, extremely beautiful view. Good selection of drinks, but beware no alcohol! Didnt feel the need too though. The more local feeling got us feeling plenty joy.

Good view, fast service, adorable prices but a bit crowded at weekend. But management was good. Name of manager was Ercan and he was very friendly and helpful. Thanks.highly recommended restaurant terrace great shisha.Very nice…I loved the Shisha, the view and the service. I will be coming back.

One of the most delicious dinner in Istanbul Food was excellent Sisha was wow Waiters are very nice Sure you will visit again and again

Loved Arya Lounge If you’re visiting Istanbul and staying close to the centre make sure to have breakfast in this breathtaking balcony lounge. The food was sooo good and the coffee couldn’t get any better Make sure to take the breakfast full set and trust you won’t regret it

Lovely ambiance, attentive staff and fresh reasonably priced food! Open till 2 am, good spot to relax after a long day!

We went here for dinner and dessert. Our Burger was good! Bread could be better. The view and ambience was really good! The service was also really good. I would recommend this place if you love to eat dinner with a view.. Price was good but a little bit expensive, but it's the same price like all the other Rooftop restaurants/bars.

Loved the scenery from it's roof. Prices are moderate (nargila only is hefty priced) Staff are helpful and smiling Food tastes not particularly impressive, better off to try cultural food around the area. Seating is comfy and surrounded by glass with awesome views.

Very nice. I loved the Shisha, the view and the service. I will be coming back.

View is great and nice breeze Food is delicious A little crowded We were 8 persons , paid around the 1300 tl

Fantastic atmosphere the view is speechless my favorite in the area.

Very nice place for Shisha/Nargile and beverages, Food is average Drinks are nice Shisha is very nice View is beautiful with a panoramic view of Istanbul and bosphorus,

Amazing view over the Galata Bridge and Basforus. Very good food. We enjoy very much Kebab and pide with cheese. We will be back for sure!

View is so perfect! Delicious food and drinks. The steak wrap was great! Shisha is final destination!

Perfect place with excellent view. Extremely responsible and helpful personnel. Everything was great, but especially breakfast was amazing. Highly recommended

Nice place to have a dinner with very nice view. Very crowded place, they have many options for food, drinks, and shisha (nargeleh), many tea and herbs choices, inside and outside areas, and very nice terrace with nice view on Bosphorus Bridge, the staff is nice but the need to improve thier English. The prices are little bit expensive especially the shisha.

Great vibes! The outdoor setting is amazing with a great view. Must visit when in Istanbul 😍❤️ Our waitress Suzen was very helpful anf her service was excellent!

Despite of the really good view the prices and the staff disappointed. The salad was unevenly cut and the waiter seemed to be annoyed with our questions regarding electronic menu. Expensive restaurant.

Other than the most beautiful view in Istanbul , The food is great ,, the diversity of the breakfast items is amazing , all taste good , clean & friendly staff … .. Highly recommended ,,, won’t regret 👍

Nice views and good hookah. Good service. Didn’t have any food but would order with confidence next time. They even have blankets for use on those chilly nights.

Great vibe. Perfect city view. One of the best dine in places around. Definitely recommend going here. Would love to visit again.

Food was delicious. Do try their menemen. The money is for views as it’s at the top. You can see whole Istanbul. Deniz gave us excellent service.

Beautiful location with an extrem beautiful view, the personal is very kind. The Shisha is one of the best I smoked in Istanbul. I can’t complain about anything, come here and make your own decision.
