Schönes Ambiente und gutes Essen

Auf den ersten Blick sah das Restaurant nicht so einladend aus, da so gut wie niemand drinnen saß. Wir saßen draußen, und dort war es wirklich schön, z.B., weil an den Außenwänden des Restaurants Bilder von Orten in Istanbul gemalt waren. Die Bedienung war auch sehr freundlich, und wir haben ein kostenloses veganes Baklava bekommen. Es war zwar nicht soo gut, aber trotzdem war es eine sehr nette Geste. Das Essen war gut, vor allem wenn man die anderen Restaurants in Paraty berücksichtigt, die leider nicht so gut sind. Im Gegensatz zu den Restaurants, in denen wir dort waren, ist es hier wirklich sehr lecker gewesen. Insgesamt war es wirklich ein sehr netter Besuch, und wir sind sogar am nächsten Tag nochmal wiedergekommen.

Falafel was a nice change

It wasn't the same as what I know falafel like from Berlin, but that's not the origin either :)
It was nice to eat something different in Paraty and the waitress was super friendly

Fairly expensive for a falafel

Good Falafel Wraps

The restaurant is located next to the main bus terminal of Paraty. They offer several vegan wraps with homemade bread from which we liked the one with red lentils the mosts. They also have some dips with bread including hummus and baba ganoush. The food tasted really good and very healthy.
Only downside for us was the high price with one wrap already costing nearly 40 Reais.

Pros: Good vegan options

Cons: Not completely vegan , Quite pricey

Delicious

R$55 for a mixed plate of falafel, hummus, baba ghanoush, salad, rice salad plus pitta bread.

Very tasty and a good portion size. My only reservation would be that the price felt pretty steep, although maybe this should be expected in Paraty during high season.

This place has vegan options for starters/sides, mains and desserts and additional options for vegetarians.

So happy I found Turkish food even in Brazil.

So now I can enjoy authentic falafel and hummus with pita and feel the vibe of my daughters homeland.

Pros: So vegan friendly

Falafel delicioso!

Fomos a noite e pedimos 2 lanches de diferentes tipos de falafel (um tradicional e outro turco) e ambos estavam deliciosos! As bebidas também estavam excelentes! O lugar é agradável, há vagas para estacionar logo em frente e o atendimento é ótimo! Há atendimento em inglês, português e espanhol.

Restaurante Turco

Que restaurante bacana! São inúmeras opções para veganos, vegetarianos e carnívoros. Os doces...hummm. Cozinha aberta e relativamente rápida. Ambiente descolado e jovem. Música ambiente de qualidade. Excelente relação custo-benefício em termos de preço. É a minha primeira opção em Paraty para o dia a dia.

Pros: Qualidade e preço, cozinha internacional, atendimento

Cons: Pouco espaçoso, pouco confortável

Very tasty Arabian food

I went twice to eat here. The first time I had an amazing Arabian plate, with tabulé, babagamoush, hummus, salad and some falafel balls. It was delicious!
The second time I had a tasty Turkish Falafel, which was tasty too, but unfortunately I forgot to tell, that I am vegan and they put some yogurt sauce inside. My fault, but I imagine it would have been super tasty with hummus or babagamoush.

Delish

Amazing food and ambience. Have had turkish food in Turkey and "Istambul" was as good as the one I had there, also the decor reminded me so much of Turkey.
We had "Tapete voador" and a Falafel wrap and it was delish, food is well seasoned but not too salty. One of best hummus and babaganoush I had in a long time, I just wish they had give me more of them lol.
Staff is very friendly and willing to help. Only down fall is that the payment is cash only. Will be back!

Pros: Amazing food, Good ambience, Friendly staff

Cons: Menu only on the wall, Cash only

Great vegan options

It's nice to find a regular restaurant offering vegan options in Paraty, a city that's not so vegan-friendly. I've tried the Turkish falafel and two vegetarian dishes of the day (ask them to take out non-vegan items in there) and liked the food a lot. The Turkish tea with ginger was also nice.

They understand what vegan food means so there shouldn't be any issues regarding communication.

Pros: great food

Cons: small space, very fumy inside

Delicious Turkish meals

Easy to find, owners were helpful and spoke good English which was useful for us as our Portuguese is very limited. A few different options for vegans and even more for vegetarians! Great price point!
