Fantastic spot

Wonderful little restaurant, staff incredibly knowledgeable and explain every dish to you. Menu changes daily. I was sharing with a friend, they put yogurt on the side without me needing to ask.

Great atmosphere (many vegan options)

Two of the four mains were vegan and most of the sides were. Great atmosphere and a bit upscale. Great food and friendly service .

Really cozy place and amazing food

This restaurant was the best I've tried in Istanbul thus far! The food is homemade and changes everyday but It's mostly vegan (when I went there was just one dish including meat and two others vegetarian) and It's really amazing, super tasty and delicious. It's a little bit pricier then avarage but It's still really cheap compared to European standards and It's really worth it. The place was also really cute and the owner was super helpful and nice, a really nice excperience!

Cosy place

The place is really nice. I was expecting something more like lokanta style. But it's a good cafe with cozy interior. I think it's not easy to balance between home meals and fancy cafe vibe. I loved it. And charming owner who cooks everything! She is so great. I had amazing time there.
The meal she prepared for me was: imam bayaldı (stuffed eggplant with paper, tomatoes and onions) and taze fasulye (cooked fresh beans with tomato). All so good and tasty. You can find this kind of food in any lokanta, but it will be too fat or overcooked or not flavored enough. But this is really good one!
I hope they can switch to vegan meals only.

Fresh home-made food but not a vegetarian restaurant

It’s not a vegetarian restaurant anymore as they do have one or two dishes with meat. Lots of vegan and veggie options though and the food is yummy and home made

Pros: Lots of vegan and veggie options, Friendly owner

Cons: Not vegetarian
