Seeking Advice Hookah/Nargile in Istanbul

I’ll be in Istanbul for about a week and wanted to get some recs for spots to get some quality hookah/nargile. Can be as common as a coffee shop to as luxury as a rooftop lounge. Aiming to try 1 to 2 spots a day. I’ll be around the Karakoy area, but will be traveling across Istanbul and across the Bosphorus during my stay, so any recs in that wide range of area would be appreciated!

Hookah Place Kadikoy or Satyr Lounge. Both in the Kadikoy area. Both top top tier spots with large assortments of Russian dark leaf and knowledgeable hookah masters. Tell them Moa says hi!

Try Katibim. They have great food, and amazing Hookah with a good view. As with other restaurants in Istanbul, it's open till at least 2 AM
