Iftar Banquet

Throughout the holy month of Ramadan, we invite you to join us for Iftar at Downtown Istanbul.

Our $39pp Iftar Banquet is available every night after sunset and is thoughtfully designed for sharing, bringing family and friends together around a table of traditional Turkish flavours. The menu begins with fresh dates and comforting mercimek çorbası, followed by warm house-baked Turkish bread with classic dips, chargrilled chicken and lamb shish, and a sweet finish of Turkish delight, apple tea, and Turkish coffee.

The banquet is intended to be enjoyed slowly, in the spirit of connection and reflection that defines Iftar.

Children under 12 dine free, making it a welcoming option for families gathering to break fast together.
