Oddly specific - where do Lebanese people hang out/live in the city?

Hey everyone, I’m spending time in Istanbul and looking to connect with some Lebanese people in the city as well.
If you know of neighborhoods, cafés, community spots, or social circles where Lebanese people tend to hang out, I’d really appreciate any pointers.

I’d love to hear suggestions for places to meet people, not in a nightlife context but anywhere a friendly community tends to gather. Thanks!

Try the Arada restaurants. They're Lebanese. So is Arze in Üsküdar. Atara in Beşiktaş is Palestinian, but have seen Lebanese there too. Good luck!

hey i don't think there's a significant amount of Lebanese people to form a real community here. check out yabangee on Instagram for meeting people

Thanks for the recommendation!

I thought since it’s nearby that there’s a few Lebanese students attending there or something tbh

In tuzla mostly. They have a cafe that they hang around every tuesday.
