Delicious Turkish food - Edit
Very small and tastefully designed eatery. More than enough things to choose from (but not too many luckily). Prices are a bit on the high end - but the food you get is worth every lira! I went there with a vegetarian - he's a bit sceptical when it comes to vegan food (my mission is to convince him he's not missing anything with staying a vegetarian) but his opinion was very clear after dinner: that was the best dish (smoked eggplant) he had in Istanbul (my mission was successful, ha!). I can definitely say the same. Highly recommend! ❤️

Turkish specialities veganized - Edit
The food was very good. Really enjoyed the Manti and the Kebab. The Apple crumble cake with custard was awesome. It was expensive but so seems to be everything in Turkey these days.

Harika Yemekler - Edit
Küçük bir yer. Geniş bir menüsü var ve sahibi de vegan. Geleneksel yemeklerin vega versiyonlarını yapmanın yanında yaratıcı alternatifler de sunuyorlar. Yediğimiz her şey çok lezzetliydi. Ama biraz pahalı.

Cute vegan restaurant - Edit
This place feels like a little safe haven in a city where vegan options are not so abundant.
Read moreThe place is small, but they offer breakfasts, main dishes and desserts. Most of the options on the menu are gluten free.
Pros: The place was cosy
Cons: Slightly pricy, Not many options without fake meat and/or cheese

Tasty little spot - Edit
A welcome oasis in a fairly unvegan friendly city. I came twice. It's very small with just 3 tables inside and 2 outside the staff are friendly and have good English. Highly recommend the Turkish ravioli really tasty and a bit different. The savoury pastrys were big and tasty but the katsu curry was a bit bland. Lots of cats hanging about for cuddles too.

Lovely cat friendly little spot - Edit
I loved this sweet little restaurant. It is cozy and cute and the food was delicious. They are also cat friendly and we enjoyed having kitties come right up and nap next to us while we ate. Three of us ordered the special Turkish ravioli (I have been wanting to try a vegan version of this Turkish dish, and was so glad to see they offered it). We also ordered desserts. The tiramisu was our favorite but the carrot cake was also amaxing, can’t believe it’s GF.

Delicious - Edit
The food was amazing, would 100% come again! The best vegan food I had in Istanbul. It’s more on the expensive side but definitely worth the money. I had the eggplant dish (11/10) and a brownie :). The seats are limited!

Come for the food, stay for the cats! - Edit
Absolutely lovely place! I was excited to try traditional dishes like borek and Turkish ravioli, which were both good, but the real standout was the smoked eggplant. There is a small market next door that is nice to peruse while you wait for your food. Seating is limited, though, so try to avoid peak hours without a reservation

An absolute must! - Edit
We had the most fantastic dinner there: smoked eggplant, pink hummus, stuffed chard leaves, avocado salad, all absolutely mouthwatering. The waiter went out of his way, the whole place has a great vibe. And to top it all: the desserts (carrot cake and tiramisu) were to die for! So, when in Istanbul, go!!

Vegan in Istanbul - Edit
Excited to find a fully vegan restaurant here. There are not too many. It’s a small restaurant, looks like a family business, kind staff and good food with a fair price. I went for the Ravioli that is homemade and delicious, but is spicy and I was not expecting. The Tiramisu is veeery good!
Read morePros: Tasty and homemade food, Staff is friendly
Cons: They let cats in - not good for allergics like me, Very small, not many tables, They close rather early

Possibly the best vegan restaurant in Istanbul - Edit
We came here with high expectations given the rave reviews on this site and elsewhere... and we weren't disappointed. It's a small, simple place with room for ten inside & another ten outside, but the chef really works wonders in their tiny kitchen! I had the smoked aubergine dish, which is a bit like baba ganoush topped with meatballs & tomato sauce. It was amazing! My wife had the Turkish ravioli, which she also enjoyed. Definitely worth seeking out.
Read morePros: Great food, Fair prices, Friendly staff
Cons: I'm not a big fan of cats in restaurants
