The Best Vegan Spot We Found in Istanbul - Edit
We visited a few vegan restaurants in Istanbul, but in my opinion this one was by far the best—simply in terms of its basic interior, and the food was absolutely amazing. We went there four times during our ten-day stay in total. In the end, she even gave us really large portions. It was just unbeatable—overall in terms of value for money and taste. And it felt like real home-style cooking.

Unacceptably bad - Edit
This food is dry and never fresh, they heat everything in the microwave, even the kebab from the package, with no sauce..
Read moreIt’s not cheap either and they are themselves not vegan at all.
We also had the spinach manti… 3 small spinach leaves in old dry pasta wrapping with no sauce.
The food is the worst ive ever eaten in my life at any vegan restaurant after travelling 45 countries.
Horrible to leave without finishing but it was uneatable. Don’t believe the reviews

Oily and microwaved - Edit
Sadly a very bland meal. The microwaved meal didn’t taste fresh, and it was very oily. It was overpriced for what it was: 250TL for 3 dish and 300TL for 4 dish (3 grape wine leaves is equal to one dish).

Affordable and delicious - Edit
The food here is absolutely wonderful, and very reasonably priced. We visited twice and had a delicious meal both times. You order upstairs, choosing three or four options from several, then take your tray downstairs to eat. The ladies serving were very nice! I'd really recommend you visit at least once if spending time in Istanbul.

Lovely traditional and affordable food - Edit
I came to eat here multiple times on my trip to Istanbul. The food is really tasty and there are different options every day. The staff are really nice and the place is cosy. Most meals consist of a mixed plate with many options to choose from. The spinach pie was one of my favourites.

Amazing home-style eatery - Edit
We came here for a meal with veggies to get a break from all the dürüms, kebabs and baked stuff, and Vegan Istanbul delivered. Loads of fresh homemade-style foods to choose from, everything was super delicious and well-seasoned. They had "meatballs" made of bulgur, homemade kombucha and loads of cakes to choose from. One of the best vegan places we've tried in Istanbul!

Delicious food, great vibe, reasonable prices. - Edit
Lovely place, we've visited a few places on our trip to Istanbul and this is by far our favourite.
Read moreThe owner is patient and kind, and explained everything clearly. The place has a lovely vibe. The staff cook the food all day and warm up your food when you order.
The prices are fair and the servings are good sizes.
Above all the food was delicious 😋 we went back the next day. The falafel is especially tasty and the chocolate brownie is incredible 😍 🤩
And not forgetting we had some great company from some friendly cats.
Pros: Tasty food, Reasonable prices, Friendly cats

Yum! - Edit
Very cozy place and the food is actually delicious. Reasonable prices, big portions and overall great vibe. Might be a little language barrier with the owner but she’s very friendly person. A lot of oil tho, I would take other things but I got very overwhelmed with so many options

Tasty and good value - Edit
This is a place for home cooked food. Between us, we had fava bean, potato and aubergine stew, cabbage rolls, a courgette frittata-type slice and a sort of falafel cake. It was all good, but especially the falafel bean.
Read moreWe took the baklava back with us and it was crispy, nutty and with just the right sweetness.
The food is great value for big portions. The vibe is canteen buffet style, so not a place for a romantic date but a place to fill your belly with some tasty food.
Pros: Big portions, Good value
Cons: Canteen style, so not too atmospheric

Home style - Edit
A moderately small spot with a fairly wide range of premade dishes from which you can select three or four to get warmed up in the microwave. Definitely tasty, cozy, and probably the best prices (other than çigköfte places) I encountered for vegan food in Istanbul. I guess you could call this a lunch counter.
Read morePros: Tasty, Excellent value
Cons: Nothing made-to-order
