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

This place is so tiny with only a few tables but the food is lovely with many tempting choices on the menu. The deserts are delicious. Apple cake with sauce was divine as was tiramisu. The people are just lovely too. Highly recommend

Highly recommended! - Edit
When visiting Istanbul we were so excited to try Turkish food, but ended up being very disappointed. That is until we tried this place! The food is absolutely phenomenal! They have lots of dishes of typical Turkish food but veganised. We loved the smoked aubergine and Turkish ravioli. So many gluten free options as well! They have breakfasts, lunch, dinners, awesome desserts! And the place is cute and clean😄

Absolutely delicious Turkish food - Edit
The food was fantastic! Very well presented and tasty, everything is freshly made.
Read moreStaff speaks English and was very friendly. The atmosphere is cozy, with lots of plants and of course a cat :)
It's definetly on the more pricey side, specially for Turkish standards, but it's well worth the money!
Very much recommended!

Piece of Vegan Turk ✨ - Edit
I’m so glad I chose this place to visit while on my turkey 🇹🇷 trip. Staff was friendly and gave good recommendations. I REALLY LOVED their kebab as well as their ravioli. Full of love and flavor. My husband and I really enjoyed this little gem, and they even have a little market next door. Highly recommend this place and I can’t wait to come back.

One of the best in the WORLD - Edit
An absolute gem for vegan food lovers! This fully vegan restaurant takes traditional Turkish dishes and reimagines them into plant-based masterpieces. The flavors are incredible, and the attention to detail is unmatched. Beyond the food, the staff are warm, friendly, and genuinely passionate about what they do as well as its kind and considerate owner. This isn’t just one of the best vegan spots in Turkey—it’s one of the best in the world. A must-visit for anyone, vegan or not! (and then go vegan!) #Veganuary

Fantastic Vegan Food Experience - Edit
I’m currently traveling the word as a vegan of 8years. I’m from Texas. This place was a fantastic experience . I’ve been in Istanbul for 1 month now and I’ve been here a total of 5 times.
Read moreEnvironment was great , restroom clean, people were super kind and welcoming. But this food. If you like salty creamy dishes this place is HEAVEN!!
If you don’t mind Cats sitting next to you and close atmospheres this is a great place to eat multiple times.
Gluten free Ravioli
Eggplant plate
Hummus
Kebab
Brownie
And ice cream were all pretty decent
The team here really cares about their food so im sure they’ll be open when I come back 6 months from now.
Pros: Location, Fast Service, Food
Cons: I’m Not really animal at the table kind of person , It’s a small shop so close to next person , N/A

Incredibly bland food - Edit
Very disappointing. This is the best vegan food in Istanbul? What are the rest like?
Read moreI had pastry for a starter. Very dry and crumbly. Taste was very mild. And the middle was cold! I ate less than half even though I was very hungry.
The main course of baked aubergine was hot enough. That's the best I can say about it. I could only handle a couple of mouthfuls because I couldn't really taste anything. It could possibly have been saved by adding some salt but there were no condiments available.
Pros: Easy to find., Great if you like cats sleeping in the seats.
Cons: Tasteless., Comparatively expensive., No cats in restaurants! Unhygienic and allergenic.

All around great place. - Edit
Staff was very friendly and helpful. The restaurant is a bit small but cozy and has a nice atmosphere. Food was amazing. I had the soup of the day (yoghurt soup with chickpeas) and the raw beetroot salad. I plan to come again this trip because there are other dishes on the menu I’d love to try.

Ravioli are to die for - Edit
I had the ravioli and the chocolate brownie, and both were super tasty, but I'm highlighting the ravioli as it's a veganised traditional Turkish dish! It's a small and cozy place and the staff are kind and helpful - and there were also some cats you could pet! It was totally worth the visit!

Really good! - Edit
I had an amazing dinner at Vegan Dükkan. We were two, we shared a cheese starter then a main course each. I had the cheese starter as I expected “local” cheeses, otherwise I wouldn’t had it (a bit pricey and were on budget). I was more than happy anyways as they were delicious. As main courses we had Turkish Ravioli and Kebab, they were truly greatly cooked, fresh and tasty. Staff is more than welcoming! It’s a tiny spot and closes at 9pm so arrange your visit if tou want to try it. I definitely recommend it! Great spot!
