The terrace looks over the Golden Horn, the Galata Tower on the far shore, and the mouth of the Bosphorus. The menu covers kebabs, fish and meat dishes, pizza and pide, and desserts. As of October 2026, main courses run from about \u20ba890 to \u20ba1,560. Tables are booked on WhatsApp: +90 530 911 14 00.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why dinner in S\u00fcleymaniye feels different<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>S\u00fcleymaniye sits on one of the highest hills of the Historic Peninsula. In the evening you can see the Galata Tower and the Beyo\u011flu skyline across the Golden Horn from this height. The restaurant is on the roof, so the view comes with the table; you do not need to find a separate viewpoint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is also a short walk from Sultanahmet but away from its crowds. The same terrace hosts an evening whirling dervish (sema) performance; see our guide to the <a href=\"\/en\/whirling-dervish-show-istanbul-suleymaniye\/\">whirling dervish show in S\u00fcleymaniye<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is on the dinner menu<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Prices below are from the October 2026 menu and may change.
