Nezih Meyhane

About Nezih Meyhane

Nezih Meyhane is a meyhane on Bişkek Caddesi in Emek, the street many locals still know as Emek 8. Cadde. It presents itself as an "eski nesil" or old-generation meyhane, and its own posts frame the evening around the traditional rakı table: conversation, friends and a long run of small plates. The house set menu, as posted on the meyhane's Instagram in September 2026, starts with a choice of six cold mezes and a salad (shepherd's, rocket or İstanbul style). Two hot starters follow, picked from options such as yaprak ciğer (fried liver), hummus with pastırma, shrimp güveç, fried calamari, paçanga böreği and işkembe kavurma. The main course comes to the middle of the table in a güveç, either chicken thigh kavurma or beef entrecôte kavurma, and the meal ends with a fruit plate. Set menus include rakı in amounts that scale with the size of the group. There is live music on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday evenings according to its reservation page, which also lists both an indoor room and a garden. The booking page gives opening hours of 15:00 to 01:00 every day. Reservations are taken by phone or Instagram message, and through the Yerim Hazır booking platform.
