Kalender Zebra

About Kalender Zebra

Kalender Zebra is a meyhane on Farabi Sokak in Çankaya, a few minutes' walk from Kavaklıdere and Tunalı Hilmi Caddesi. It has been reviewed on Tripadvisor since at least 2018 and is known above all for pairing a meze table with live music. The food follows the meyhane pattern of Turkish and Mediterranean cooking: cold and hot mezes to share, followed by hot dishes, with wine alongside. The restaurant's own posts in late 2026 show meze platters and hot plates alongside musicians with guitar, violin and accordion, and its account promotes the evenings as a mix of mezes, conversation and music. Visitor reviews on Tripadvisor mention the live band and a lively, family-style atmosphere in which the whole room joins in, and one describes a New Year's celebration with an orchestra. Opinions on the mezes are mixed, so it suits those coming for the music and the occasion as much as the food. Practical notes: the restaurant takes reservations on +90 312 466 14 01, which is advisable on weekend nights and for groups. It does not publish opening hours online.
