What you'll experience

One reserved table, one full dinner, and a stage program that moves through folk dances, belly dance, and live music without a second booking needed. Sultana's Restaurant in Istanbul's old city delivers an authentic Turkish dinner show where the entire evening is organized from the moment you sit down.

Guests make their own way to the venue and leave independently after the show, so the evening fits other plans. The menu runs from starters and salad to a main course and dessert or seasonal fruit, with unlimited soft drinks, while the stage moves from Anatolian folk dances to the Asuk Masuk comedy act and ends with a DJ set.

Turkish Night Dinner & Show

Make your own way to Sultana's Restaurant, enjoy dinner service, watch the stage program, and leave independently after the show.

  1. 20:00

    Arrive at Sultana's Restaurant for your reserved evening.

    This experience starts directly at the venue, so you should reach Sultana's Restaurant on your own by 20:00. Arriving on time matters because dinner service begins early and the stage program follows a fixed rhythm. The self-arrival format is convenient for guests already staying in central Istanbul.

    Hotel pick-up and drop-off are not included.

  2. 20:00-21:00

    Dinner is served at your table.

    The meal is designed as a full evening service rather than a quick snack before the performance. You will be served starters and a main course choice, followed by salad and seasonal fruit or dessert, while unlimited soft drinks are included. This makes the night feel complete even before the first dance begins.

    Vegetarian and vegan meals are available with advance notice.

  3. Dinner and Stage Show · 3 stops Reserved table -> Turkish dinner -> Folk dances -> Asuk Masuk show -> Belly dance -> DJ finale
  4. Traditional Turkish dinner

    The meal is not a preliminary, it is structurally part of the experience, with service timed so that food, atmosphere, and stage action build on each other rather than competing. Guests eat in a relaxed setting before the performance energy rises, which makes the transition into the show feel earned rather than abrupt. That sequencing is one of the things that keeps the Sultana's format feeling coherent through a four-hour evening.

  5. Folk dances and Asuk Masuk comedy

    The performance opens with Anatolian regional dances drawn from the Aegean, Black Sea, and eastern traditions, each with different costumes, rhythms, and spatial patterns that signal how geographically diverse Turkish folk culture is. The Asuk Masuk comedy routine that follows uses physical humor and light theatrical timing to shift the mood without interrupting the cultural flow. Together these acts establish that the night is genuinely varied rather than a single-note show.

  6. Belly dance and DJ ending

    The belly dance section marks the turn toward a more personal and technically demanding form of performance, the kind that tends to draw the audience into closer attention regardless of prior familiarity with the art form. The DJ finale that closes the program invites audience participation and shifts the room from observer to participant, ending the evening on an energy level that feels like a genuine conclusion rather than a simple curtain call. That arc from dinner to movement is what gives a Turkish night at Sultana's its particular rhythm.

  7. 23:30-23:45

    The show ends and guests leave the restaurant independently.

    Once the performance finishes, you are free to continue your night or return to your hotel on your own schedule. Because the experience ends at the venue, it stays flexible for travelers who want a relaxed Istanbul evening without fixed return logistics.

    Return transportation is not included.

Highlights

Why Sultana's Works for a Turkish Night in Istanbul

  • The venue has a clear identity, Sultana's is one of Istanbul's established dinner-and-show addresses, known for a program that combines Turkish and regional variety in one continuous evening.
  • Dinner quality matches the entertainment standard, starters, a main course, salad, dessert or seasonal fruit, and unlimited soft drinks are served as a full meal, not as a side element to the show.
  • The program has genuine cultural range, Anatolian folk dances, Asuk Masuk comedy, belly dance, and a DJ finale each bring a different register to the night, making it feel layered rather than repetitive.
  • The self-arrival format gives flexibility, reaching the venue independently by taxi or on foot from central districts means the evening starts on your schedule, not a group bus timetable.
  • Soft drinks are unlimited and included, which keeps the budget predictable for the core of the evening.

To compare other Istanbul evening formats, the Hodjapasha Whirling Dervish in Istanbul offers a contemplative cultural alternative, while the Istanbul Dinner Cruise on the Bosphorus combines a meal with open-water views.

Ok so I need to write a proper review for this because it was honestly one of the best travel experiences of my life. we felt so well taken care of. honestly one of the best tours weve ever taken. we made friends with other travelers in the group. My partner said this was the best gift I ever gave her. I took over 500 photos and every single one looks like a postcard. Sultanahmet area has so much history in one place. the folk dances from different regions were interesting. We compared this with other tour companies and the value was unbeatable. I've written a small essay here haha but honestly its because this experience deserves it. Five stars, would do it a hundred times over. Thank you Ali and the whole team!!

What a fun evening! The dinner at Sultana's was delicious - we had a huge spread of Turkish meze, grilled meats, and desserts. The show featured traditional belly dancing, folk dances from different Turkish regions, and live music. The dancers were incrdibly talented and the atmosphere was lively and festive. The venue is right in Sultanahmet which is convienent. Great way to spend an evening in Istanbul if you want dinner and entertainment in one package.
