There's a "stage" for bands to perform live music - need to ask what times they go on thou. Comfortable seats and sofa seatings. It's a bit pricey but it's worth your while. Great place overall.

It is okay place, they really have cool concerts and events at rooftop…read more But I personally hate the fact that I can't go in alone. The place has 3+1 floors with balconies and maybe more than 20 tables, but there is no place for me where I can enjoy myself? Maybe I am way too heavy on cultural nuances, but this feels way too culturally weak. Maybe there is a case for this where bouncer can't immediately jump onto a dangerous situation because of floors so they only allow groups, but to be honest entering alone isn't that much of a risk factor. Also, there was a time when we were asking to come in with a foreign friend which I wanted to show the place and bouncer acted like a douchebag, so I down it from 3 to 2.

The best part of Karga is how surprising it all is. The door is completely hidden, and I generally…read moreneed help to find it. When you go in, you'll be met with 4 (or 5?) floors of coolness. Mirrors, fireplaces, brick walls-- all so charming. The place is always packed, but there also always seems to be space, somewhere. Every time I've been, it's been a different experience, so I'd say it has some "replay" value. I love Karga. Hopefully they let me in next time because we forgot to pay for our beers last time. If they do, I'll try to arrange 6 stars for this hole-in-the-wall that is actually an amazing labyrinth of excitement.

This place is fucking amazing. It was a quiet summer afternoon and after doing all of the touristy…read morenecessities, my girl and I were looking for a place to wind down and chill with some hookah and bevs. This place is relatively nearby the touristy stuff, which is convenient. We had just finished circling around the grand bazaar about 1500 times and this place was a mere 5-10 min walk. The decor is really funky and unique. There's an indoor portion and an outdoor portion, mostly situated in a balcony-like structure. There are very colorful cushions and equally colorful tables to match the surrounding adornment. Service was amazing. We were seated immediately and started on drinks and hookah in no time. Our server came and checked on us frequently but not frequently enough to make it annoying. This place was perfect for insta snaps and we took quite a few of them. Thankfully, our garb was unintentionally flamboyant and we fit right in. The drinks were good, both from the eclectic cocktail menu as well as the classics like screw drivers. We dipped our toe into quite a few different drink categories that night because the service was good and the hookah was kept fresh. We stayed there long enough to become hungry and ordered the meze sampler. I don't remember details besides this being very good. By the end of our evening our crisp and fresh insta photos became rachit and grungy snap stories by the end of the night. The hospitality was overt, they didn't mind us literally taking up residence basically for about 6 hours and offered us blankets once the weather became chilly and rainy. Long story short this place is a must visit on a trip to istanbul

I didn't get to check out the roof lounge, but the street-level cafe was great…read more We were on a tour from our cruise ship and had "free time" to wander the area. We were shopped-out and it was hot. We saw the stocked bar in the restaurant from the street and decided to go in for drinks. The service was outstanding and the house wine was also wonderful. The kids had sodas and we also had some sparkling water. They have good wifi there and it was a slow mid-day, so it was pretty fast. Nice to a cloud picture sync. The restrooms were also clean. The food menu looked great as well even though we didn't get anything.

Hummus is okay,tabbouleh is good. Yogurt mint drink is good. Lemonade mint-will not order again. Area is clean,staffs were fast that one waiter asked at the end if we were done eating and grabbed our plates at the same time while my husband is finishing the hummus and meat. We were surprised and just laughed it off. I will only comeback for grilled chicken and yoghurt drink.

Although the falafel patties were not as hot as I like them, they were still amazing. I'm not a fan of tabbouleh salad, so I can't really give an opinion on whether it was good. Given the quality of everything else, I'm guessing it was good. I did eat some of it. The people serving were very kind.
