Selling point is the view of the Bosphorus on one side and the Mosque on the other. Prices a but high but the food was delicious. The shrimp in oil was a hit. Meatballs was also pretty good.

We had an amazing experience from start to finish! Everything was perfect – the food was delicious, beautifully presented, and of excellent quality. The show was fantastic and created a wonderful atmosphere throughout the evening. A special thank you to our waiter, Erkan, who provided outstanding service.

We had a fantastic evening at Sofitel’s Normand’s Turkish Night. The food was delicious, fresh, and full of flavour, with a great selection of traditional Turkish dishes. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, and the entertainment really made the night special. The dancers and musicians were excellent and created a wonderful authentic Turkish experience. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure everyone was well looked after throughout the evening. A great night out for families, couples, or anyone wanting to enjoy Turkish culture, food, and entertainment. Highly recommended, and we will definitely be returning.

This was my first time visiting, and I have to say it’s a must see in Istanbul! the shows were beautiful, the food was delicious, the service was amazing! The only thing not so great was the desert, tbh. But it’s definitely worth it, price and quality amazing, there is 2 packages either with unlimited drinks (alcoholic) or with a limit of 3 either around 60-62€ or 74€ something around that. I recommend getting there a little earlier so you can take pics from the beautiful terrace overlooking Istanbul
