Broad selection of veganised traditional Turkish dishes

There are looots of options to choose from, but if you are undecided or want to try more than one they also offer some combos. Both main dish and dessert were tasty and there were also some cats playfully going in and out and wanting you to pet them, which made it all even better!

Pros: Veganised traditional Turkish dishes, Many options to choose from, Cats!

Amazing homecooked Turkish food

Small place with a big menu packing a punch in terms of flavors. And the names of the dishes are so good. The best thing was their homemade cashew ayran: absolutely delicious. I want to buy a suitcase and fill it up with it. Kajran! 💜

Amazing food!

Would 100% recommend visiting here. The owners were very loving towards the cats hanging around outside. We went for the vegan platter and there was lots of it! All delicious and left us feeling very full.

Bad food lots of other options to eat at

I hate to give a vegan place a bad review, but the food is just mediocre. It was bland and dry, and I got to try a lot of the menu with the combo meal. Disappointing because this area has such good food, don’t waste your time here. The restaurant is also dead and looks closed.

Pros: Authentic Turkish dishes

Cons: Food is dry, Food is bland and expensive, Atmosphere is dead

Hello Nolan, the plate you tried is a favorite almost half of my costumers. Maybe it wasnt your taste but that dosent give you the right to say the time is wasted. I have lots of happy customers that love every bit of the the things they tried and if there is a problem I am alwaysss happy to help😄Only there was a problem that ı cant solve the day you came is the waters were cut between 14:00-22:00 and I couldnt let you use the bathroom that gets you frustrated. My waters supplies dosnt last that long, that was unexpected and I am sorry for that. For saying we looked closed all of the lights were on, all of the doors windows was open. how do you came and still decided to eat here if you think its closed and dead at 21:00 is what ı dont understand. Your comment is not about improvment it is about getting us down and ı am not okay wih it. Have a good day. :)

Crazy dumplings

I came here originally after they closed the food service, but the ladies were incredibly nice to me and let me order.

The kebap was good enough, but the dumplings were absolutely outstanding. Get the dumplings!!

Great place

Completely vegan restaurant with a large selection. We had the Manti, the Islak Burger and Combo Narsist plate and can recommend everything. The dessert is also worth it!

F.I.N.E.

Had one of the combo plates and some desserts, it was ok but not to die for. Menu is huge (too big I’d say), it would be cool to come back and try something else

Great Turkish food!

Delicious vegan food! I do not have anything to compare it with in terms of of authentic Turkish food but the flavor were really good and I really enjoyed the lahmacun, the mini wrap and the meat ball. I ended my lunch with a baklava with coconut and chocolate! So good!!!!
The staff was nice and explained the menu and created a plate with what I said I wanted to try! Would come here again!

Pros: The flavors

Great!

It’s a cute little place located in Kadikoy. They have many options, including Turkish traditional food. As a non-vegan who has tried those traditional specialties before I can say they did an amazing job! They taste exactly the same. You must try the desserts too when you are there.

fiyat performans açısından düşük buldum

Yemekleri oldukça lezzetli ama fiyatların ürünlere ve porsiyonlara oranla fazla pahalı olduğunu düşünüyorum.

Overwhelmingly extreme number of vegan options

They have a full vegan menu. From breakfast to dinner to sweets. There is a full range of Turkish food made vegan. So happy to see that all in one menu. Could be difficult to choose tho. The staff is friendly, speaking in English and the place located relative in a quite street.

The quality of the food is a bit debatable, of course if you replace the original Turkish cousine to a vegan version , then it is not up to the same expecatations. I think the taste can be a bit more improved, other than that love the concept and the idea.

Delightful Turkish Vegan Menu

I went here with my daughter who is not vegan and we both loved the food. After 4 days of eating chips or salad with my family in non-vegan restaurants this place was a welcome change. The menu is massive and choosing was difficult but I eventually settled for a Veganarsist Moving Mountains burger and my daughter an Area Toast. Both were incredible. They had a large choice of desserts available but we were quite full after the mains so we settled for vegan baklava and Turkish tea. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for Turkish food that is vegan.

Pros: The staff were really friendly and spoke English, They have free WiFi , The food was amazing

Cons: Limited indoor seating and it was cold outside, The menu is too long

Mythological taste

VegaNarsist is the best place to eat if you like and miss meaty structured food, they have a lots of options of vegan meat, also they have refined sugar free sweets.

Great selection of veganized (not only) Turkish food!

I've been there twice during my Istanbul stay, and both times the food was excellent. I do recommend the Iskender kebab 🙂

Pros: Variety of great food, Lovely people

Amazing

We ordered so many different things to try here and all were amazing. The menu is huge (too big?!) and a little over whelming, but we stuck to Turkish dishes and were very happy.

Amazing family-run vegan restaurant

This is a lovely place in the heart of MODA district in Asian Istanbul. The couple who run the business are very helpful and knowledgeable about food and food allergies. I am coeliac other than vegan, and finding this place after wandering around for almost an hour has been nothing short than a blessing. The menu is amazing and so varied too (all dishes are homemade). I had Zeus Falafel and Troy Islam Kebab (scrumptious!). Highly recommend this restaurant!!!

we‘ve been there once and were a bit overwhelmed by the menu, there were so many options… the food we picked was okay, it did not hit the spot for us personally.

Fantastic banquet of delicious food

What at amazing restaurant break! Satisfaction guaranteed! The menu is very diverse and all the food is delicious and presented with attention to detail. We had a Jumbo platter, which contained a variety of foods. Also had burger, pasta, comboocha, baklava, coffee…everything was just perfect. We ate so much, but could not leave anything on the plate, it was all so delicious. Just a shame there was not more space left in our stomachs, as there were other dishes and cakes that we wanted to try. Honestly: this place is not to be missed!

Pros: Delicious food, Attractive presentation, Friendly staff
