    I go to Arkadash at least twice a month, because I love the live music, and the guys are hot!!!Great place to be in the weekends!

    Arkadash is great. Everyone is friendly and pleasant. They have a new singer now added to their list, Aynur, who has a great voice. There is a $15 min. on weekends but Souk has a $30 min, so people stop complaining about $15 because I guarantee everyone spends more than $15. You can use that towards anything, food, drinks, hookah, dessert. There is not cover charge. I would recommend Arkadash to anyone who is looking to have a great time dancing and watching the belly dancing show. I go there often and feel the same every time.

    I have only been to Arkadash once, but the music was awesome - so what if the owner sings and drinks? He sings well!!! The dancers were beautiful and very friendly and talented...it's all opinion, but as a dancer myself, I do think they are very good. My only complaint is that they charged for refils. Oh, and the waiter was hot, though perhaps a bit arrogant and flirtatious. As the only single woman at the table, I felt a bit singled out, but maybe that was more of my friends fault than his. Arkadash is a great place to enjoy Turkish food and atmosphere!

    Arkadash was overwhelmingly full over the weekend probably due to the belly dancing show. The belly dancer present was not the best, she was ok, but as artistic as you can see it in other restaurants with belly dancing program that last for 3-4 hours without any brakes in the meantime. The food is ok (it could be better) - mainly lamb and all kinds of Turkish Food. It's sort of expensive and not so very clean. Pay attention to glasses and plates - hardly washed in my opinion. Yagmur - the performer signs and drinks at the same time. He appeared too arrogant and not very friendly. The waitresses appeared under too much pressure and not being able to serve as quickly. I saw a few servers only, mainly Russian - it seems. So folks - this is not the best place for dining, however it's more for entertainment and there is a certain minimum you got to spend over the weekends. I would give this place between 3 and 4 on the scale from 0 to 10 being 0 minimum mark and 10 maximum.

    This is my favorite place of all times. I go there often and I can never get enough. Love the environment and the belly dancing shows. Yagmur and Safwan are great and Angelina is a star (the belly dancer). I would strongly recommend reservations. I would suggest it to anyone who wants to have a memorable night out with some Turkish and Arabic music.
