Cheap and oily - Edit
Very cheap place with a quite cheap food. I took much for a low price. A desserts (some chocolate cakes) made from a powder, taste like nothing. Not the worst option if you’re hungry. Very oily, quite salty, everything is fried.

Pros: Quite cheap
Cons: Too oily , No healthy food, Bad deserts

Good food but too oily... - Edit
I wanted to love this place like all the other reviewers, but on the day we went, we found the food just too oily. We couldn't finish our meals and it left us both not feeling too great afterwards. If they used less oil, I feel that it would be really good food because the flavors are all there. The restaurant itself is a bit dingy too -- probably better to get take-away meals instead.
Read moreI ended up buying some take-away baklava and that was the best vegan baklava I tried during my stay in Istanbul.
Pros: Cheap
Cons: Too oily

Excellent Take-out - Edit
The hummus was perfect to my liking, not salty and tiny chunks of chickpea for texture. Rice-filled cabbage and spinach were also tasty. I didn’t dine in because the place smelled smoky and the outdoor patio is very small.

Feels like eating your mum's food - Edit
What a special place. Everything is made with love and patience. I love the free choice and that you get to see the food beforehand. I think what makes it so special is the home-cooked vibe that it gives. We got a bit fed up with falafel, kebabs, sandwhiches, burgers in all the other places and wanted something that resembles more of a hot meal for a change.
Read moreAbsolutely going back again.
Pros: Delicious home-made food, Friendly and humble staff
Cons: Needs more popularity because the food is amazing

affordable all vegan cafe - Edit
Choose 4 dishes for 25TL is such a good price, there is so much variety and all homemade. Most dishes were very tasty but others were a little bland and since the dishes are reheated the French fries are not good. also the mosaic cake & lahmacun were delicious.
Read morePros: Everything is vegan & good price , Sells take away vegan cheese/meat products , Variety of dishes, drinks, desserts
Cons: Prepared ahead of time & reheated

Ordinary at best - Edit
They must have been having an off night. The food was very bland. We got 4 dishes and they tasted the same, even the hummus. So disappointed as we went based on the good reviews. The tea was really good though.

Traditional home style - Edit
Place serves a selection of Turkish traditional food, some odd which has been adapted to be made vegan.
Read moreThere are selections behind a counter and the server plies options on the plate.
Food is reheated in a microwave.
This was a bit hit and miss, some options like the eggplant dish was target, others were a bit too oily for my liking.
Pros: All vegan

Friendly Vegan Restaurant - Edit
This is a family owned small vegan restaurant. Food was amazing, generous portions with very affordable prices. Very friendly staff, they explained to us what all the items were. It was great to be able to try the vegan versions of some of the traditional Turkish food items. The platter style lets you taste multiple options. Highly recommend!

There are better places in beautiful Istanbul - Edit
First of all the location was hard to find, but people can reach there by using Google Maps or else.
Read moreWhen I got there it was empty but then I saw someone in the downstairs. The staff were friendly we talked a lot.
Secondly, although the meal is fresh or not they microwave everything. That was not good actually.
There are more places to try in beautiful Istanbul, so I won’t eat there again I guess.

What a lovely authentic Turkish spot! - Edit
The food is so tasty! And the staff is incredible. They are so friendly. The home-style feeling makes the whole experience a delight! The dolmas are to die for! I wish I could recommend specific dishes but I believe the offerings rotate quite often. I think they always have the Baklava, though! That is amazing! They even heated it! I’ve never had it heated up before! I have it on good authority that the dolmas are always on offer. I prefer them cold. Ask them to serve them that way if you like!
Read morePros: The friendly staff, The food is so tasty!, The price is very reasonable.
