Great Shows but Limited Visibility
The shows were very nice, but you barely can see anything if you are not sitting near the spot where they perform.

Nomads Istanbul Rooftop Dinner with Live Shows
Recommended by 96% of travelers
Spend an evening at the Nomads Istanbul dinner show and watch belly dancers, zenne performers, and live darbuka flow around a modern meyhane set high on the Sofitel Taksim rooftop. A set menu of Turkish-Mediterranean dishes, think warm Antakya bread, copper-tray kebabs, and pomegranate-glazed köfte, lands in rhythm with the entertainment, while a DJ closes the night with Eastern-lounge beats and skyline views over the Bosphorus. Reserve through istanbul.com for a seamless, all-inclusive night of flavors, music, and culture at Nomads Istanbul.
