Fantastic vegan food

I loved this place! I had my best meal in Turkey here. I had a tofu curry and a decadent, delicious carrot cake for dessert. If you are a vegan traveling (or living) in Istanbul, this is a must-visit restaurant.

Cons: Wish they were open earlier and stayed open later., Wish the restaurant was larger.

One of my favorite vegan restaurants in Istanbul

During my short stay in Istanbul I ate at Vegan Dukkan Lokanta 3 different times. I enjoyed all the meals I had. The vegan ravioli, spaghetti , meatballs, and tofu curry were all very delicious. I wish I had more time to eat more dishes and I was too full for dessert.

Turkish raviloi sauce was good and the bits of seitan was a good pairing. The meatballs in the spaghetti was so good. If i went back i wouldve gotten that again. The tofu curry was my least favorite because I think the texture of the tofu was ok, the curry flavor was good and the crust was amazing. I cook with tofu a lot and I freeze it and defrost and take out the water and it gives it a more meaty texture. I think if this was done the dish would be flawless.

Overall I enjoyed my time here, the decor, my waitress was super cool. They also have a vegan store right next store so I was able to stock up on goods for my travel. I highly recommend!

Pros: All dishes are very delicious, Decor and friendly staff

Really delicious food with cats that chill out in the cafe and a great vegan mini store nearby. The Turkish ravioli is one of the best meals I've had in months.

Lovely place

I loved their savory pie and stuffed cabbage rolls, which were hearty and flavorful. The apple crumble and carrot cake were pretty awesome too, with just the right amount of sweetness and spice. I also enjoyed their ginger and cinnamon spiced kombucha, which was refreshing and tangy.

We tried a couple of other dishes from their menu and they were all ok, but not outstanding in terms of flavour. Overall, it is a solid choice for both dinner and lunch.

Really tasty food

First time, the food (Ravioli) was absolutely tasty and it was one of the best vegan dishes that I have eaten in a restaurant. Thank you for this!
As it was that good I wanted to visit the place again for my last dinner in Istanbul to try another dish. Unfortunately the opening times are not reliable and the restaurant was closed.

Yum!!

Wow, everything here was so good, and the staff were really friendly. We got the spinach borek, smoked eggplant dish, and Turkish ravioli dish. The sauces were amazing. Also had black tea and kombucha. We totally cleaned our plates. The place also had a cute and clean bathroom. We sat next to some sleeping cats 😂🐱

If you're coming for lunch or dinner, another great dish is the Turkish ravioli.

Very friendly service and adorable cats make this a particularly enjoyable experience.

Best vegan food in the city

I loved this place, we visited twice during our stay in Istanbul, once for takeaway and the other time to eat in. The staff were super friendly and helpful, the cafe has a really nice atmosphere and is clean and the menu has so many great options you are spoiled for choice. Everything we ate was excellent and I would reccomend this place to all vegans and non vegans alike!! Don't skip desert either!

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Delicious , Friendly staff
