Absolutely delicious and totally worth the price

Very friendly and attentive staff we tried traditional Turkish dumplings and both me and my non-vegan friend loved it! Amazing tzatziki sauce! Highly reccomend!

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

Really good

It was very delicious. But the prices were quite high. Dessert was quite expensive. The meal was great and so was the dessert. We had kebab and tiramisu. The restaurant is quite small. Nice atmosphere and staff. I recommend this place.

Good vegan food

İt is one of the few all-vegan restaurants on the European part. Very in style with the modern vegan culture, but also with a touch of authenticity (Burek and kebab, for example. And cats:) ). Totally cozy, friendly and tasty. İt's a pity i couldn't try all their dishes. İ was also offered free hummus snack and cucumber-mint water 😋 İ payed a standard price for Europe but the size of dishes was quite big. İ hope you guys grow bigger and very successful! 🌸

Very tasty cafe!

The food in here is beyond delicious! There is a big variety to choose, and all of them looked incredible. The incredients used are the fanciest, and due yo that the prices are higher.

Lovely vegan restaurant

This fully vegan restaurant requires you some uphill walk, but it's very much worth it.

The soup of the day (vegetable and broccoli) was quite sour, but I liked it that way.

Both the stuffed cabbage leaves and the eggplant-filled savoury pastry were delicious and went well with the lovely vegan yoghurt sauce.

The lemonade was very sour, I recommend you add some sugar to it.

Pros: Great value for money, Friendly, English-speaking staff, Tasty food

Cons: Requires some uphill walk

Best Vegan Restaurant in Istanbul

There's no doubt about it, this is the best: carefully prepared and plated vegan versions of traditional Turkish dishes like Hunkar Begendi (hot savory eggplant purée topped with grilled peppers and stewed seitan meatballs), Hurrem manti (triangular dumplings filled with ground soy and spices and topped with vegan yoghurt sauce), and for dessert a rich spice cake drizzled with cashew cream. All of it accompanied with vegan Turkish wine. Magnificent!

Pros: The best, friendly, delicious

Cons: small - not many tables

Delicious and nice variety

Staff was friendly and spoke English.
English menu available via QR code which worked for me but not for my friend.
Nice selection.
Very delicious food.
Sorta expensive but worth it.
Has a decidedly pro-animal rights message throughout the place so that's a huge plus.

Good mantı

The mantı here is really good, on the English menu they call it "special turkish ravioli". The börek was also nice. There are cute cats that dine in with you here and the service is fantastic.

Highly recommended!

We had a great lunch here! One of us is vegeterian and the other one is a carnivore. The food was delicious for both of us. The atmosphere was chill and cozy, and Shule the waitress was so kind to us! ♥️ We will surely come back here in our next visit to Istanbul!
And there is free WiFi there...
