• Delicious Vegan Mecca in Istanbul

I love Bi Nevi. I live in New York City but spend a good amount of time in Istanbul. Having an authentic vegan joint that serves mexican food, avocado toast on thick german seed bread, zucchini pesto pasta, delicious lasagna, desserts, and a full-fledged vegan brunch on Sundays. The brunch features tofu scramble, menemen 'sauce', homemade almond cheese, breads, banana breads, olives, cukes etc. Chia seed water and homemade unsweetened delicious ice tea varieties. It is tiny so you might have to wait for a table unless you make a reservation. Friendly staff and very cute decor. Note: Some people have mentioned the prices- if veggies and fruits were subsidized the way meat is they wouldn't be so expensive! Of course avocado toast will not be as cheap as a 'kebap' in Istanbul; you pay for the quality ingredients! Updated from previous review on Monday January 12, 2015
