Great vibe, good food! - Edit
I wasn’t even hungry, but wanted to check out this little restaurant on half a day in Istanbul between two legs of a flight. That’s why I didn’t go for the kebab or manti, which seemed really delicious on the menu. The “lighter” option, avocado salad with tempeh, was a huge portion of flavour: fresh greens, topped with marinated tempeh and a handful of sprouts. The place has a beautiful interior design with a lot of plants and some activism art on the wall, and attentive service. All of the above contribute to a great vibe and I’m looking forward to being back to try the other delicacies as well!

Cons: Only 4 tables

Fabulous - Edit
Word of warning - the place is tiny - only four tables, so maybe coming early or booking ahead is necessary.
Read moreWe walked in and were lucky to get a table. The raviolis were both fabulous, as was the tiramisu. Easily the best food I’ve had in Turkey so far.
Pros: Tasty food , Inexpensive , Cats!

The best - Edit
We tried both of the manti, and we loved them! The best one is the one with meatballs. Generous portions, delicious sauces and great fillings.

Sorry to disappoint, but you didn’t go to the Asian side, you just crossed the Galata bridge to Beyoğlu, still Europe 😸. Restaurant is excellent though.

Great! - Edit
Cute little place including your typical Istanbul feline companion❤️
Read moreWe had the Adana kebap which was good but could do with a little kick and herbs. The cucumber yoghurt (?) sauce was very nice but not for the kebap, although good with the side salad.
But the (weekend only) breakfast.... FANTASTIC 😍
The sucuk is stunning and the mushroom mouthwatering! A little bit much cheese on the plate but oh well:-) Yunmy jam though!
Best vegan breakfast I've had anywhere so far. You can skip Limonlu Bahçe.
Everything's really fresh and I loved the cucumber water you get with your food.
The music is pleasant and NOT loud, which is really appreciated!!
The staff is really nice and a joy to talk to🤗🌸
We'll be back!

My top choice in Istanbul - Edit
This was the best of the vegan places I visited during my stay in Istanbul. The Adana kebab was heavenly! And seriously, I'd like to try literally every item from the menu. I was just slightly disappointed that the menu had no typical Turkish desserts, such as baklava or künefe. Oh, and the cuddly cats that go in and out freely, and immediately come to lie on your lap, were just a free bonus!
Read moreThe prices are a bit on the expensive side (as almost everything in Istanbul nowadays). There is wifi, free water, you can recharge your phone, and staff speak English.
Pros: Great food , Location close to Taksim, Good music and vibe
Cons: Not very spacious, Staff seemed bored and disinterested
