New Year's Eve Dinner Show at Sultana's Restaurant Istanbul 2027

New Year's Eve dinner show at Sultana's Restaurant, Istanbul: the key facts

This is a New Year's Eve evening at one indoor venue in central Istanbul, Sultana's Restaurant. You have a festive dinner in an Ottoman-style hall while belly dancers, folklore performers and live musicians take the stage, with unlimited local drinks, alcoholic and soft, through the night and a countdown at midnight. There is no boat and no transfer: you arrive, stay in the same place all evening and leave after the late finish.

It suits travellers who want a warm, seated celebration with a show, rather than a cruise or a street party, and who are staying in or near Sultanahmet or Beyoglu. The price is from $134 per person. Dinner, local drinks and the shows are included. Hotel transfers and imported drinks are not.

Which New Year's Eve is this, and why does the form ask for a time?

The title says 2027, and the page does not state the calendar date. It could mean the night of 31 December 2026 that leads into 2027, or 31 December 2027. The booking form also lets you choose any date and offers daytime start times from 08:00 to 14:00, while the FAQ says the evening starts at 21:00. None of those slots fit an evening event. Ask us to confirm in writing the exact date, the 21:00 start and the finish time before you pay.

Where is Sultana's Restaurant, and how do we get there?

The page places it in central Istanbul and says Sultanahmet and Beyoglu are a short taxi ride, tram trip or walk away, but it does not give the street address. Ask for the address in your written plan so you can check it against your hotel. Hotel pick-up and drop-off are not included, so you need to plan both ways yourself. The evening ends at about 02:30, so decide in advance how you will get back. If you have not booked a hotel yet, our guide to Sultanahmet hotels shows the areas closest to the old city.

What is included in the food and drink?

The New Year's Eve dinner is included, along with unlimited local drinks, both alcoholic and soft. Imported drinks, such as foreign spirits or wines, are extra and paid at the venue. The page does not publish the menu or say whether vegetarian, halal or other meals can be arranged. If you have dietary needs or allergies, tell us when you book and ask us to confirm in writing that the venue can provide a suitable meal.

What is the show like?

The page describes belly dance and folklore performances with live musicians on stage, followed by a countdown to midnight. You watch from your table, and the show runs through the evening rather than as one short act. The page does not say how tables are allocated or how close you sit to the stage. If seating matters to you, ask about it before you book. For a quieter cultural evening on another night, the whirling dervish ceremony at Hodjapasha is from $43 per person.

Is it suitable for children, and is there a dress code?

The page does not mention children, age limits or a dress code. Unlimited alcoholic drinks are included and the evening runs past 02:00, so it is planned mainly with adults in mind. If you want to bring children, ask us first whether they are allowed and whether a child price applies. For clothes, smart-casual is a safe choice for a restaurant celebration, and a warm coat for the walk or taxi ride back late at night.

How does it compare with the New Year's Eve Bosphorus cruise?

The New Year's Eve Bosphorus party cruise is the other option on the same night, from $224 per person. The FAQ on this page says the cruise starts at 21:30 and lasts an hour less. It quotes the cruise price in euros, while this page shows prices in dollars, so compare the dollar prices on the two pages and the total in your written quote. Choose the restaurant if you prefer staying on land in one warm place; choose the cruise if you want to be on the water at midnight.

What else can we do in Istanbul around New Year?

The page suggests pairing the evening with a daytime tour of the historic peninsula, such as the Istanbul Old City private tour, from $200 per person. On another evening, the Bosphorus dinner cruise with Turkish night show is from $57 per person.
