Good variety - Edit
There was a good variety of healthy vegan food to choose from; aubergine, spinach, beans etc. I think it was 35try for 3 dishes and 45try for 4 dishes. I enjoyed the food and although it could have done with some more seasoning, simple food may be standard in Istanbul as I have found the same elsewhere.

Great choice - Edit
I've been going here almost every day! Many options to choose from the display case, you can pick 3 for 35₺ or 4 for 45₺. Baklava is very sweet but good. Good enough English to explain what things are. Also has extra seating upstairs.

Excellent handmade food and great selection.. - Edit
We (a family of five) asked to be served family style, as we felt overwhelmed by the great selection of all vegan dishes and thus got to try almost everything. The hummus was probably the best we have gotten so far in Turkey and everything tasted fresh and delicious. Also the probably homemade kombucha was a wonderful accompaniment to that most delicious meal. We tried three of the desserts and they were scrumptious as well.

Pros: All vegan and very inexpensive , Great selection of buffet style dishes , Very friendly

The world needs more of these vegan places - Edit
This restaurant has many options that are pre-cooked. This means that they will heat it up for you. But this is no problem. There is a lot of variety and the food is really tasty. For 4 different items on one dish we paid 40 Lira. You can get 3 different items for 30 lira. The food is very filling and has a lot of flavours. There are only two small downsides, the chairs on the ground floor are not that comfortable and I think that a bigger microwave would be nice as sometimes when it gets busy you have to wait quite some time for the food. But if you want tasty nutrious vegan food come here!
Read morePros: Many options, Flavourful, Enough seating areas

Shockingly Good Food - Edit
I have ti admit, it is the beat food I had in 2 years. True, I don't like the fact they microwave it to heat it up, yet this is the business model. Even if the food quality suffers some, the food is still well above normal.
Read moreThe hours posted seem to be wrong. Today is sunday and I would be back bit the owners said they wouldnt be there.
Pros: Taste of Food , Quantity, Price for the quantity
Cons: Microwave to heat it up

Small vegan place - Edit
I stumbled across this one. It has lots of variety of foods and I trust the other reviews with the nice taste of the main dishes. I came here for dessert. Originally I wanted a sample platter with cookies , baklava and cake to go but they told me I can only buy the entire package of each. I ended up with baklava to go and really enjoyed it. I could pay with card which was nice too. I had a little terrace where people were sitting and it looked nice.

Convenience - Edit
I was hesitant to try it though it’s steps away from my house. It doesn’t look much from the outside and i’m not a fan of mock meats. But today i was hungry, no time to cook and wanted something fast and easy (instead of carefuly reading menus and interrogating waiters). I had a lentil soup, soy patty, zuchinni fritter and vegetable stews. It was healthy (not drenched in oil) filling and good value for money. I’ll def go again when similar circumistances hit
Read moreNote: i have been there 6 times now. Little variation in food. But even after going there 6-7 days in a row the woman there has yet to warm up to me or be nice. Actually the more i go the less friendly she becomes. I find that both puzzling and funny

Pros: Vegan, Healthy(ish), Good options
Cons: Cafeteria setting, I like my food hot and it wasn’t, Not the tastiest but good

Lots of food for 3-4 dollars - Edit
I was hesitant, because some reviews talked about the food not being good. But oh my, I got a plate with four different selections and a mineral water for a little over 3 US dollars. I couldn't believe it. And I really enjoyed the food. It's cafeteria kind of food, so if you like that, it's great. I liked the many options. I will go back and try different things next time as well.

Cheap, okay food, friendly. - Edit
Objectively speaking the meals are often reheated, salty and somewhat oily and can be a little samey. The people saying this is the best vegan food in Istanbul ... I can't imagine where else you've been eating.
Read moreGetting that reality check out of the way - it's not bad, and sometimes it's actually quite tasty and it's pretty good value for money. The vegan baklava and the cookies are very good and are available takeaway in containers. The staff are polite and friendly and are happy to explain the menu options.
Pros: Generous portions for cost. , Desserts come in takeaway containers.
Cons: On the average it's only okay. , The TV is always on and never good.

No - Edit
The food is not only very oily, it is also very expensive for this kind of canteen. Everything is color brown. No fresh vegetables here ever. Did not taste good of course. Whenever I pass this place I get shivers. I'm sorry but it is what it is

Tasty food, big portions, nice people - Edit
It’s buffet style where you pick 3 or 4 items and they put them all on a plate. Very good food with a mom and pop kind of feel. Cheap too.

A cute little family run business that serves home-cooked meals. Choose a plate with 3 or 4 items. Food was tasty.

Cheap - Edit
Honestly, I was disappointed. Yeah, the food was cheap and you have many options to choose from but I found my dishes tasteless. Everything is prepared in advance so they need to put it to microwave before serving...

Anything we've tried here was delicious, and pretty cheap. They even sell a few vegan dairy products (good as well). Nice atmosphere, too.

Great choice - Edit
Went here for lunch. Basic interior and no menu at the moment but many prepared dishes to choose from, displayed in a cabinet. Something like TL35 for 4 selections or you could have 3. Delicious food and generous portions. Friendly owner who does the cooking and her brother helps there too. Fresh drinks available and a range of cake and baklava. Very satisfied, will go back
Read morePros: Large range of fresh homemade vegan food , Friendly service , Very reasonable prices
