Lots of choices - Edit
The menu indicates clearly the vegetarian and vegan options. The food was good — not extraordinary, and arrived very rapidly. The price was very fair. I’d go again.

Loved the Vegan Babel Special - Edit
Small cafe, serve non-vegan items but have a clearly labelled vegetarian & vegan menu. The Vegan Babel Special was fantastic, with lentil and bulgur wrapped in filo pastry served on salad. Generous portions too.

Fabulous restaurant in Taksim! - Edit
What a great restaurant in the Taksim area! I’m a vegetarian and often find it difficult to get a variety of food options. My wife and I had dinner here our second night in Taksim and had to come back on our fourth and final night in Istanbul. The service was fantastic and the food is very tasty. They had a nice dry white wine that went well with our food. I particularly enjoyed the vegetarian Babel Special (bulgur, green onions, walnut and spices wrapped in a filo pastry that is served with a salad) YUMMY!!!!

The place is beautifull with a nice ambiance. The vegan plates are very well labelled and they really understand what vegan is. I recommand the mezze plate and the Babel special. The crust on the vegan Babel special is amazing! Very good service.

Don’t miss it!! - Edit
Amazing!! Vegan options clearly listed by red hearts on the menu, and there’s loads to choose from. Best köfte I’ve had in a while, so nice and simple. The falafel was also very lovely! Definitely go here, it’s a cozy and vegan-friendly place

Don't miss - very good vegan options! - Edit
After looking for vegan food and passing two closed vegan places, we ended up here, not expecting much since our previous luck with vegan food at none vegan places in Istanbul ended up more on the vegetarian side. Boy were we pleasently surprised! We had a plate of mazze with all the vegan options they had at the time: hummus, some bean salad, bulgur kofte etc. Then the cook made especially for us another bean dish (can't remember the name) with spinache and tomato - amazing! And vegan manti - also highly recommended!
