Easy once you know how

First time to Turkey and experiencing a place like this…..you get shown to a table and order drinks but then queue at a massive deli counter and show the staff what you want, then they bring it over to your table. The food is added to a tab which you pay at the end. Nobody explains this, you just figure it out. It’s chaotic but it works. There is a lot of meat and cheese options but the staff are knowledgeable. Maybe avoid if you’re super fussy about cross contamination. Had a gorgeous breakfast once we’d figured it out!

Don’t bother

It must have changed since the last review because we checked it out tonight and they basically have hummus, falafel and that’s about it.

Fresh ingredients, many options

I've been two nights in a row to Namli restaurant and supermarket in Karakoy, for dinner. I like it because you choose from options, what you want, size of portions and the quality is fresh and tasty,the dishes offered seem to change daily. This all means, no need to over eat, can choose all vegan, (meat options are available), you see what you're ordering! Two of us have had a meal to suit us, cost for both of us in the region of 350 trl which we think is very reasonable for a sit down meal.

Pros: Fresh dishes change daily, Choose your own, see it in front of you, Friendly helpful staff

Tasty and Fresh

A good number of healthy vegan (a rarity in Istanbul) options, lots of vegetable and legume dishes to chose from.

Pros: Good vegan options, Fresh and tasty, Lots of vegetables

Cons: Pricer than most, Crowded

Many options, always crowded, cheap

A nice place to try a variety of local appetisers that are originally vegan. Make sure to ask clearly which food is vegan and explain what vegan means because some waiters don’t see any difference between vegetarian and vegan.

Turkish deli w some great vegan options

When you arrive you take a tray, skip the cheese and meat area and tell the counter attendant what you want on your plate. If you don't speak Turkish you can either point or use Google translate for the names of the vegetables. They have a few great vegan dishes like eggplant salad, hummus, fava beans, dolmas, stuffed bell pepper and stuffed tomato, breads and spreads. They are not marked as vegan but I asked in Turkish and they confirmed the ingredients for me as being vegan. After they put the food on your tray they give you a number. You take your number and sit down at an open table and wait about 5 minutes. Another server will bring you your plate. When you're finished eating you flag a waiter and ask for the bill.

Great buffet

Very nice place where to taste traditional turkish food in a "market"atmosphere. The quality is very good and the staff is helpful, they know about vegan options. We tried lots of turkish apetizers...and wonderful olives and jams!

Pros: Quality, Choices, Price
