    For the price it is definitely worth it. Some fun entertainment dancing, solid food and drinks and incredible bang for buck. The restaurant also has nice views as well.

    One of the craziest expiriences when it comes to restaurants. They made an amazing show with beautiful dancers. Food was nice - they had 2 menus available, one with fish and one with meat (kebab) - it wqs around 1250 Turkish lira with unlimited drinks included. Would recommend this place if you are looking for something to spice up the evening.

    It was a wonderful atmosphere and an incredible experience. Very friendly crew took care of us, with a high level of hospitality. An extraordinary place to have fun, especially on the special days of your loved ones! percussion shows and dance performances do not allow you to stand still for a moment. there is not much to say about the food, it was amazing!!! It is necessary to thank everyone who brought such a peaceful and dynamic entertainment venue to beautiful Istanbul.

    It was a great experience. Great view, delicious food and amazing shows. It s not just a belly dancer like others. There are many different high level shows we really enjoyed. You should go there very hungry, fix menu includes many appetizer, warm staters, main dishes and unlimited drinks! The price is also quite reasonable for such an amazing place. I will be definetly a regular here!

    I enjoyed the entertainment, but not a good place to take your kid. They have 3 hours energetic music and dances. The food was good the drink was unlimited.

    For foods and appetizers I can not say very good and it’s on medium level. For service I can say they are really good and waiters are really great and they are fully attentive to their tables 🤌🏼 And about dancer and music and atmosphere it’s really good for a night with your friends and have some fun 🤩 I am happy to have experience at Nomads🥰

    I recently visited this Lebanese restaurant for the first time and had a mixed experience. While the food was only "ok," the service and atmosphere were both fantastic. Additionally, the bottomless wine and beer offer was a great value. As soon as I walked into the restaurant, I was struck by the beautiful decor and warm ambiance. The lighting was just right and the music playing in the background added to the overall experience. The staff were also incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure that we had everything we needed throughout the meal. The service truly exceeded my expectations. However, the food itself left a bit to be desired. While it wasn't bad by any means, I just didn't find it particularly memorable or flavorful. I had ordered a few different dishes to share with my dining companions, but none of them really stood out to me. That being said, I appreciated that the portions were generous and the prices were reasonable. One thing that definitely stood out about this restaurant was the bottomless wine and beer offer. For a set price, we were able to drink as much as we wanted throughout the meal. This was a great value and definitely added to the overall experience. Overall, while the food wasn't amazing, the service and atmosphere more than made up for it. If you're looking for a fun night out with friends, this Lebanese restaurant could be a great option. Just don't expect the food to be the main attraction.

    My girlfriends & I booked a table for a birthday and had a great time BUT when it came time to pay, the restaurant wouldn’t deduct the 150€ reservation deposit from our bill and claimed we would get it credited back. 3 months later and several calls and emails, they are not responding and we don’t have the money. DO NOT TRUST THEM TO CREDIT YOU BACK - please make sure this doesn’t happen to you!

    This is a really nice authentic Turkish place. We had a problem with our booking but they manage to work that out. Better to come as early as 8 pm to enjoy the showtime. The DJ is one of the success reasons of this place. The food was not really good and you better go for the party and not for food. This is highly recommended if you want to enjoy a local nightlife.

    Fantastic place with great and friendly staff . Everyone spoke English and we had a wonderful time there . I was a bit concerned going there with the kids but they made it very comfortable and the entertainment team interacted with the kids and the entire family enjoyed it . I would definitely recommend a visit

    The girls and the show were amazing. The waiter told us to pay higher price than normal (1100 turkish lyre or around 58 euros for each person) when the catalog was 450 or approximately 22 euros for each person. When we refused to give him more than 10 euros tip (the tip was really 10 euros) he signed us to go away and told us that we are cheap. Even though we overpaid our stay there he told us this. He ruined our ruined night if you know what mean. (Btw the girls dancing were amazing).

    During our recent stay in Istanbul, we had the pleasure of dining here, and it was nothing short of spectacular. What truly sets this place apart, however, is the transformation it undergoes as the evening progresses. The ambiance smoothly transitions from a relaxed dinner setting into a lively dance environment, creating an electric atmosphere that is both infectious and exhilarating. This seamless blend of dining and entertainment is a rare find and was definitely the highlight of our evening. The service deserves a special mention. The staff was attentive, friendly, and genuinely caring, ensuring every aspect of our experience was perfect. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough to anyone visiting Turkey. It's not just a meal; it's an immersive experience that tantalizes your taste buds and uplifts your spirits. A must-visit for a memorable evening in Istanbul!

    We had an amazing night!!! The show starts around 21.00 , there is a standard menu (choose between fish or meat) and unlimited soft drinks, beer or wine.I didn't have to ask for more wine as the waitress was so attentive and kept refilling our glasses!!! I read some comments about an extra charge.....not true! Great place ,amazing vibe!! We were ALL dancing until 01.00!!! So glad I booked a table!!!

    Rude staff/manager. We were turned away from entering even though it was early on a Thursday night. Went to the bar downstairs and spent money someplace that valued us.

    You pay 650 tl for a fixed menu and unlimited alcohol. The food is not so great and it doesn't come in big amounts (I think it is a bit unfair for the price). During the night there are bellydance shows and a dj with loud music (it might be too loud that you can't talk without screaming). But overall the place is really beautiful with an amazing view over the bosphurus and really nice atmosphere, you can dance and enjoy.

    Ummmm WOW!!! The place is happening!!! Their chill, chic & elegant decor is phenomenal. Food, vibe & belly dancing, five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Service 2 stars ⭐️⭐️ we were seated and almost never saw our waiter again. The views, spectacular! The DJ & music. The entertainers, amazing! Only thing, when the belly dancing happens, everyone stands up and can’t really see anything unless you’re seated right next to them. Wish everyone would just seat down and be a bit more considerate. Overall, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

    First time in 10 years travelling Europe I felt being not welcome in my life. It means that if you are european you are put you in the corner, you are treated like the sooner you leave the happier they are, they explicitly ask you not to move and not to dance. Sorry to see something like this nowadays in such a beautiful town.

    Comparing to the old NOMADS, The Atmosphere quality is diminished. Yet,it affords your expectations of a Meyhane.The most important part was unlimited drinks. Appetizers and meals were admissible. Also, the belly dancing show was quite entertaining.

  • 1/5 Sepehr N. 1 year ago on Google
    Worst experience ever, We came to the restaurant for dinner. Surprisingly, they were super rude and mean to us. We asked for the menu, the waiters were explaining the menu verbally in Turkish which we as a tourist couldn’t understand it. They ended up not giving us a menu as it is a fixed menu. Long story short , we order our food , which was , fish and kabab which it never came. After asking them many times after two hours they told us the kitchen is closed. They never said sorry . And the guy came with the full payment amount bill , which was ridiculous. After so many back and forth , they end up reducing price with 300 lire. -It is the first time , that I go to a restaurant and never get the main course. 2- Staff were rude 3-instead of compensating us and cool us down , they were saying you had your appetizer tho

    Very nice place with a very beautiful view. The food is a fusion of Lebanese food with a Turkish twist, the music is amazing, and the shows they put are very entertaining. Loved it and it's a must do.

    Zero effort to give information over the phone, instead expects you to do all the work, For your customers it’s a real effort to save your no and text you on your preferred platform even though they have already called you. Some people don’t even use what’s app! It really takes away from the service from the get go especially at your price range. I recommend when a customer /client /guest gives you there telephone number to take the extra step to mesage them information. Free consulting ! Your welcome Click the 👍button if you found this helpful (:

    Come here for an amazing night with other locals and tourists. They serve u a good dinner (pricey but free flow of wine). The belly dancers are great but what was more awesome were the diners dancing together in between tables and at the front stage. There's a great DJ playing a mix of English, Spanish and Turkish music. Would recommend for people who wants to experience some night life here Meze was amazing, one of the best we tried but the mains (mixed grill) was meh. Lamb is super gamey but it seems to be the case in all Istanbul

    Good place to “breaking bad”, drink. Dance, forget about everything and just enjoy! Amazing music and great mood. After 10 p.m. more like night club)))

  • 1/5 Tatyana D. 4 months ago on Google • 10 reviews
    I do not recommend the place. We had a confirmed reservation from 20 days and when we arrived for the arranged day and hour, they said that they have a private party for a big group of people and they just can not accept our reservation. No-one worn us before the time of our arrival despite the fact they have our contacts. They were not cooperative so 0 is the well deserved assessment from our end.

    If you enjoy hanging out with a lot of Israelies once at Istanbul, this is the right place for you. Nice place. Food is good but not incredible. Wine is free but the quality is obviously low. Lots of shows. Young people were really enjoying themselves. Not a ver good vale for money. Notice they will try to overcharge you. IMPORTANT! Explain to the waiter that you will pay 50 euros in cash and that's it

    Food is ok; entertainment is very nice

  • 5/5 Ilya K. 4 years ago on Google
    The party music was doing devastating damage to my eardrums, had to escape to the terrace where it is merely loud. Otherwise impeccable party place. Fantastic design, great service, tasty and various food coming in small batches. But obviously people come for the dancers and the show. Will not spoil it for you, but if you like belly dance and you like having good time this is the place for you. Great place for bachelorette party or birthday celebration or for just having fun.
