Ottimo e economico

Tutto ottimo e abbondante, prezzi ottimi, personale simpatico. Il mio preferito: bulgur meat balls, seitan in umido (morbidissimo),purè di fave. Consigliato!

Lovely!

Sweet little place with food made like your Turkish mother would! You can get all traditional Turkish dishes you could ask for vegan style. There's both cold and hot dishes. The hot ones go into the microwave. Everything's fresh though. Delicious home made food, many healthy options.
For a very good price!!
The lady (owner) is an absolute darling, loved her immediately ♥️
We were here for lunch, we'll definitely be back for breakfast and maybe dinner also😄

Pros: Delicious , Fresh, Good price

A-Okay

As others have observed, its a buffet setup, pick three (TL170) or four (TL200) dishes. Hot choices go into the microwave. Cold dishes (e.g. salads) added after. My food was cold, including things intended to be hot. Tasted fine. It was my choice not to send it back to the microwave; probably should have.

Pros: A bunch of vegan choices. , Not much fake meat, which I don't favor., Tasted good. Cheap.

Cons: Extra step required to get hot food.

Interesting

A really homely setup without a menu as such. You pick 3/4 options and then they charge based on how many you pick. I went for Seitan Potatoes, Falafel, Bulger Salad and some Baklava for desert. They did warm it up in the microwave which was odd but apparently that’s quite normal in Turkish restaurants/cafes. It also didn’t negatively affect the food because it was all great.

The Best

This is an amazing little gem. Serving home cooked vegan goods that are not only delicious but very reasonably priced. Lots of variety to choose from. We went 2 days in a row and every single option we tried was delicious. The hummus and chocolate cake we're easily the best I've ever had. Ever!

Put the quality of food with a smiling service from the husband and wife team, this place should definitely be visited.

AMAZING! AMAZING! AMAZING!

I’m sooo happy I found this place. I really wanted some authentic Turkish cuisine, and I was blown away. Everything was so tasty. The menu is very straightforward, with a set price for three or four different dishes (you select from what is available at the counter). They have at least a dozen or more different options to choose from. I ordered a plate of three options for lunch, then ordered a combo of 4 to take home for dinner. Price is insanely affordable. The staff are so friendly (though they do not speak a lot of English). They also have baklava, but sadly had sold out for the day when I arrived at about 3pm. Most definitely worth a visit or two, or more!!

Pros: Great variety, Local, Affordable

Many options and totally fair prices

Many different turkish dishes. The option to choose three or four specialities from a buffet was very nice. This way I got to try the mantis, vineleaf, börek, saitan and falafel dish. All dishes are delicious and 150 for three dishes is very fair.

Pros: Buffet style

Home food from turkey!

all felt very home made even the waiter! Recommend to have a vegan taste of turkey. They have a bunch of dishes and you choose how many you want in your plate! So its always gonna be a bug taste test. Variety of deserts too!
Didnt like the chocolate dessert

Unbeatable quality-price ratio

There's a quite broad selection of dishes from which you choose either 3 (150 TL) or 4 (180 TL) dishes and get a plate with all of them mixed, and all the ones I chose were tasty (don't remember specifically what I chose though). They also have some vegan products you can buy. The woman who attended me seemed to know just enough English, which is totally fine as it does the work, and was super nice, and the bathroom did not work when I went, but it seemed to be a one-day issue, so I highly recommend it!

Pros: Dishes are tasty, Not expensive at all, Staff are kind

The best vegan bistro in Istanbul

We are family of 4 and we had amaizing Turkish cuisine experience here. The owner is very friendly and she serves original Turkish dishes in vegan version. We discovered this place and we decided to dine there the whole time we are in Istanbul. The prices are fantastic !

Traditionelle vegane türkische Küche

Die Besitzerin, die selbst seit über 20 Jahren vegan lebt, bereitet sehr leckere, vegane, traditionelle türkische Gerichte zu. Das Essen ist nicht nur schmackhaft, sondern auch sehr preiswert. Ich kann es jedem empfehlen!

Bestes veganes Restaurant in Istanbul

Das ist das beste vegane Restaurant in Istanbul! Die Besitzerin erzählte uns, dass sie seit 20 Jahren vegan lebt und die traditionellen türkischen Speisen vegan nachkocht. Das Essen war super lecker, wir waren während unseres Urlaubes mehrfach dort. Man fühlt sich sehr willkommen und fühlt sich gleich wie zuhause. Wir werden definitiv wiederkommen!

Pros: Essen, Ambiente, Service

Lots of choice and generous portion

Causal spot where you can choose various options/dishes for a set price (150 TL for 3 options, 180 TL for 4) amongst other things. Lots of very appealing dishes to choose from and the portion ends up very generous, especially for the low prices. The food wasn’t huge on flavour but I really liked this place and what they’re doing!

Amazing little place - must visit!!

The little restaurant itself is basic, however the food is absolutely gorgeous, is all homemade and the staff are friendly and helpful. We went for dinner one night and were so impressed we came back the next day for lunch. 3 options are 150 lira, 4 options are 180 lira (which is super cheap for Istanbul). They have homemade kombucha and will squeeze pomegranate or oranges for fresh juice. There is also homemade baklava on the counter as well as chocolate cake and some gluten free biscuits. Everything we picked was delicious.

Pros: So much choice, Very cheap, Absolutely delicious

The best vegan restaurant in Turkey!!

The best vegan restaurant in Istanbul, maybe in all of Turkey. The food is freshly made every day with love and passion. It is a family business, the woman is incredibly nice and speaks good English. The portions are great and they certainly do not cut corners. The food can even be neatly packed so that you can take it with you on the plane or while traveling. Of all the vegan restaurants in Istanbul, they have the most delicious vegan baklava. It is definitely worth a visit for a meal, snack, vegan ayran or something sweet like baklava.
