    A good place for a snack after a bout of shopping in the area ( great shopping here btw) and a taste of Whirling Dervish Dance in the early evening.

    The "Adana" (Spicy Kabeb) was beyond the best Kebeb I have had. And trust me when I say such since I take my food very serious. Have that with fresh juice and Shesha. The outdoor atmospheric vibes !

    Flower and apple teas are delicious. Try the mixed pancake, it tastes very good and is well served. On top of that musicians make the atmosphere very nice!

    Nice outdoor seating Area. I recommend the Cheese Bread, it was yummy 👍 pemogrant juice was good. The baklava was very fresh, but too sweet.

    At the beginning of Arasta Bazaar this Cafe has Dervish Show around 8 pm (not the full one but enough to feel what is it about). Nargila place as well. No alcohol.

    A lively and friendly place - and warm and cozy even during winter. Come for music and the mesmerising whirling dervish. Enjoy...

    The menu price list is reasonable the coffee in the middle of the sultanahmad area. Fun and music live at evenings. But the staff were a little bit rude.

    Crowded and might look like a tourist trap but... whatever, the food is not bad, they have dervishes, nargile, tea, women cooking gozleme... Sadly, no alcohol.

    Otantik bir havası var tam da turistlere yönelik bir mekan. İzlemeyi sevenler için canlı semazen gösterisi yapıyorlar. Onun dışında menüdeki seçenekleri biraz genişletmeleri gerekiyor.
