TL;DR
For a birthday dinner in Istanbul, travelers usually look for places with both a good view and solid food, while Arnavutköy comes up as an area for less flashy options. Birthday setups are often possible, but you usually need to arrange them in advance and cake or table decoration may cost extra.
What the community said
The newest request was specifically about Arnavutköy: the goal was to find a good restaurant that feels relaxed rather than overly fancy, in this Bosphorus-side district.

A practical tip for birthdays in Istanbul restaurants: celebrations are usually arranged only if you notify the venue in advance. Staff may decorate the table and bring out a cake, but this should be confirmed beforehand because it may be an extra paid service.

There was also a request for restaurants that combine a great view with genuinely good food, since in Istanbul some places focus on the panorama while the kitchen is only average. For a birthday, travelers also asked whether venues offer a chef’s compliment or birthday discounts.
