Turkish & Middle Eastern Restaurant Music
Middle Eastern hospitality is legendary, and the atmosphere is just as important as the food. However, finding the right audio balance is difficult. Pop music feels too cheap, and traditional “Belly Dance” music is often too loud and aggressive for dining.
This 12-hour instrumental collection focuses on the sophisticated, classical side of the region. We utilize the Oud (the king of instruments), the Qanun (harp), and the Ney (flute) to create a rich, mystical backdrop.
12 Hours of Authentic Oud, Qanun, and Ney. The gold standard for Levantine dining.
From the Grand Bazaar to the quiet courtyards of Anatolia, this playlist captures the essence of Turkish culture.
Unlike energetic pop music or aggressive dance tracks, this 10-hour collection focuses on Classical Turkish Instrumentals. It features the deep, resonant Oud (lute), the shimmering Qanun (zither), and the breathy, spiritual Ney (flute).
12 Hours of Lively Turkish Songs. Celebrating the love of food, friends, and conversation.
In Turkey, a “Meyhane” is more than a restaurant; it’s a place to share life. And you can’t have a Meyhane without singing.
This playlist captures that specific, joyful energy. Unlike the serious classical instrumentals, this collection features warm, traditional vocals singing about the very things on your menu: Kebabs, Baklava, and the joy of eating together.
12 Hours of Upbeat Fasil & Meyhane Music. The sound of a busy Istanbul night out.
When the sun goes down and the Raki bottles are opened, the music in Turkey speeds up. This is the sound of “Fasil”—a communal, energetic musical tradition designed for celebration.
This playlist features a higher tempo, more percussion, and the lively interplay of Clarinet, Violin, and Darbuka drums. It is less about “background relaxation” and more about “active enjoyment.”
12 Hours of Intimate Oud & Violin. Emotional, sophisticated, and perfect for date nights.
The view of the Bosphorus bridge at night is one of the most romantic sights in the world. This playlist captures that feeling.
Ideally suited for small tables and candlelight, this collection pairs the deep soul of the Oud with the emotive cry of the Turkish Violin. It creates a “thick” atmosphere of romance and longing, famously associated with Istanbul’s historic Pera district.
10 Hours of Laid-back Turkish Ambience. The perfect backdrop for Turkish Tea (Çay), Coffee, and Conversation.
Turkish culture is famous for the “Keyif”—the art of idle relaxation. This playlist is the soundtrack to that feeling.
Designed for the lighter side of hospitality, this collection captures the relaxed energy of a Bosphorus café on a Sunday morning. It creates a warm, welcoming, and casual atmosphere where guests feel comfortable opening a laptop, playing a game of backgammon (Tavla), or lingering over a long breakfast.
