Maybe I've tried the wrong ones.

Visited a few months ago. I've tried a toast and a falafel salad. Honestly both of them weren't great. They used a really bad tasting vegan cheese. I appreciate their effort, thank you. But I really wish them to improve the food quality. But still, I would visit there again in the future to try other menus to see if they're better.

Pros: Friendly owner, Good vibes

One of the worst vegan experiences

I felt ashamed for my family having to eat there. Food was very low quality and everything except the vegan kokorec was not enjoyable. Deep fried and oily as... Food took over 1 and half hours to be fully out they served us the salad as last.? If you like good vegan food I recommend you not to go here! Eiter way I don't recommend you to go there. Ayran was undrinkable!!!

Pros: Friendly service

Cons: Long wait on food even though only customers, Low quality of food, Bad representation of veganism

Simply perfect

Lovely vegan place with a great menu, good service and friendly staff. The selection on the menu made it hard for us to decide what to order. We had some tacos and a wrap: "kumru tacos" and "yoğurtlu tantuni wrap" . Both tasted amazing and fresh. For drinks we had the lemonade which was delicious and refreshing. For dessert we tried the cheesecake and the snickers - both served ice cold, highly recommendable. Unfortunately I didn't take pictures of everything.

Great surprise in Izmir

We ordered 3 items for two of us....the sausage tacos, a pizza and the gluten free kefte (meat balls). They were made from chickpea and soy milk and herbs....very very tasty. Very well cooked and natural French fries. Pizza was good but not great
Nice owner/staff....did his very best to help us.

Pros: Lots of choices, Gluten free available

Cons: No printed/english menu

Excellent place

It's very hard to find fully vegan places in Izmir, so it was a nice surprise. I had a burger and then raw cheesecake for desert. Everything was delicious. I will be defenetly back!

Pros: Extensive vegan menu, Vegan products available for purchase

Cons: English menu wasn't working on QR code

Two tries and two misses

I was here about a year ago with a friend and we were both disappointed by our food. Now that I’m back in Izmir again, I was planning on skipping here, but all the good reviews on here convinced me to give it another try.

I got the garlic mushroom burger with fries and an apple mojito. If there was alcohol in the mojito, there wasn’t much. The apple slices were tasty, and that’s about it. As for the burger and fries, the fries were decent but only lukewarm. The burger and its toppings were cold, there was no garlic flavor noticeable, and I think the mushrooms were canned.

The real dealbreaker was the bun. Completely stale to the point where it had an audible crunch despite being untoasted. Stale to the point where immediately picking it up, you knew it was no good and shouldn’t have been served. It’s the first time I’ve ever had to actually take a sandwich apart and eat it because the bread was actually inedible.

Minus a point as well for the price on the bill for items being higher than the prices listed on the menu. I really wanted to like this place for being one of the few fully vegan options in Izmir, but two bad experiences is enough. One star, but HappyCow’s rating system needs work and won’t let vegan places receive below a two. #Veganuary

Good selection of vegan Turkish street foods

Our food was enjoyable. We had vegan versions of Lahmacun, a Turkish street sandwich and Ayran. However, the bread used for the sandwich could have been fresher and the Russian salad was a little salty. Izmir is limited for vegan food, so it’s definitely a good option.

Just nice.

Evening time I arrived and they were closed by 9pm.. I returned the following day and thankfully they were open for lunch. Menu had a decent selection, the guy had little English which is the case in all places. Cute setting, view of the back streets.

Pros: Good burger , Nice chips and dips , Design

Cons: Milkshake tasted funky , Lemonade wasn’t lemonade.. , Communication barrier

MUST GO vegan place in İzmir!

Definitely worth visiting, one of the best vegan places I've found in Turkey.
Value for money!
Had the zucchini spaghetti, falafel, mücburger and içli köfte. For dessert we tied the chocolate cheesecake and snickers. Can't even start to describe how much we loved them!

Updated from previous review on 2021-07-07

Pros: Try the chocolate cheesecake! Excellent service!

Cons: Bit shady area, but very central.

Excellent Burger and Soup

The seitan burger is thick and juicy (*insert The Office reference here*). The daily soup was also really good. The interior is hip and unique. Give this place a try if you're in Izmir!

Pros: Lots of Options, Excellent Burger

Delicious

Comforting friendly atmosphere with an even more comforting menu. We had the pizza, cheese burger and mushroom & chips. All were outstanding. Walls are lined with local DIY fanzines and board games to keep you entertained.

Great all vegan place with a super friendly owner!

I’ve been going to this place all the time since I’ve been in Izmir! The owner is really nice and there’s lots of great food options. My favorites are the manti, the cheese burger, the margherita pizza, the snickers bar and the cheesy garlic fries.

Pros: All vegan, Nice owner, Really big menu

Burger👍 Taco👎

Very kind service. Burger was very delicious with a charcoal bun. Taco less then average: very very very oily, almost nothing but mushrooms and taco shells were so not fresh. Also with taco (as well as burger) we were given Chinese sweet and chili sauce (Chinese, Mexican and American a bit of a confusion - mismatched). Coleslaw as side was also very small and again 3/5.

Pros: Kind service, Delicious burger

Cons: Not so fresh, Very very oily , Mismatch sides and sauces

The best value in Izmir!

I ate here almost every day for 3 weeks, and not even once has this place let me down. From their daily soups for 8 TL, to pizzas, to kabak makarna (zucchini spaghetti with falafel), everything is so good! Highly recommend giving this place a visit.

Pros: great value, good staff, big menu

Lots of tasty vegan options! You will wanna come back

They have a huge variety of options from main dishes to snacks such as vegan meatballs to tacos; from drinks to desserts: vegan ayran, vegan milkshakes, smoothies, cakes etc.. portions are big enough and they are open until late which is nice for a late night dinner
I recommend their garlic mushroom burger, tacos, cheddar cheese french fries, meatballs menu and ayran as my personal favorites.

Also they have a nice selection of dishes to share for a very fulfilling Sunday breakfast with friends.

Pros: Huge menu and 100% vegan
