Dinner with a view! - Nice experience to eat and watch dancers, excellent opportunities to take pictures and enjoy the views from the Bosphorus. The transfer to and from was also excellent

Entartaintment is excellent - We had a very nice dinner. It was a great organization. We were very pleased. You can come with your family. A perfect venue. I recommend it to everyone. Entertainment is excellent.

Especially dance shows - We had a fun night. Especially the dance shows were very nice. The stage costumes were also beautiful. The food menu was diverse. There were different styles of food. It was all delicious as well.

Beware of the tourist trap - We have booked this boat trip via Headout and I think it was slightly more expensive if we would've bookoed it through local channels in Istanbul. The advertisement for this trip was a 4 meal course and in fact there were only 3 and the food was nothing out of the ordinary. We also paid for unlimited alcoholic drinks, hoping that we will be able to drink at least a beer and a couple of wine glasses. If you show up early, they will not open the bar until the boat leaves and, although a waiter is telling you that he is your personal waiter, he will also be the peronal waiter for other 50 people. So by the time you finish your beer, he will be nowhere in sight to bring you a refill or other drink. There is a dance show which is quite ok and the I cannot refrain from saying that the belly dancer is not roaming the entire restaurant on an artistic impulse, but rather on a tip collecting campaign. Immediately after you finish eating I strongly recommend that you go on the top roof and enjoy the night views of the city in open air. As soon as you take your sit at the table, a team of 1-2 phographs will start taking your photos and some 30 minutes after, they will bring to your table a very nicely binded and printed photo album with your recently taken photos. This will cost you at least 60-70 euros/album. If you are a famiy of 3 (2 parents and child) they will make one album of the parents and one of the child and in the end if you want them both, then you will have to pay something like 120 euros. Of course you can refuse to purchase it. We purchased both and we also kindly asked for the digital photos to be sent to a certain email address. They never came. Enjoy the trip!

Scenic, Entertaining & Fun filled! - The stroll outdoors for the night view of Bosphorous was memorable. The comfort indoors with food and drink was appropriate. The entertainment with the Turkish dances was enthralling followed by good dance music for everyone's taste.

Not worh it - Couldn't see anything out the windows. Food was mediocre and we think my wife got food poisoning from the fish.

Poor value for money - Terrible food; chaotically organised; homophobic staff; started half an hour late. But the views of the city were great.

A major disappointment - There was nothing but disappointment. There were too many people and we couldn’t see the show. The service was flung at you. Waited nearly an hour to be seated.

V poor Bosphorous dinner cruise - Dreadful. Long waits to get to Pier. Very long wait to get on the boat.Luckily dry weather as no shelter. Dinner was atrocious..tasteless. Loud DJ so could not hear yourself talk. Crammed in like sardines. Sweets...10 euros...rip off for what it was. Fresh fruit..2 skinny pieces of green apples and oranges and a turkish sweet. Live entertainment the only highlight...but if seen once, seen it all. Our booking was via Goldenhorn tours, but lots of different operators used the same boat. PS dont expect to see any night sights..not announced at all so no clue. Waste of time and money

Bosphorus Sahar Ellayali dinner cruise, a bad experience - Dinner cruise on Sahar Ellayali boat, a real disaster. Tasteless dinner, delay of more than an hour at departure, everything is paid for with very exorbitant prices. Absolutely not recommended.
