Best place to eat in Istanbul

First of all, the food is so good and affordable that we went there twice, which is something I rarely do when travelling. It doesn't look like much, and frankly the first time I was standing in front of it debating whether to go in at all, a random local persuaded me to give it a try and so I did. The people working there are accommodating, not all of them understand what vegan means, so I just had a google translate of "no meat, no fish, no dairy, no eggs, no honey" and they showed me meals meeting those requirements.

Pros: delicious, cheap, good portions

Cons: doesn't look like much

I came back 3 times

An amazing canteen restaurant with so many vegan options.
You just have to ask what is in each dish and they will serve it for you.
I got 5 different dishes for about 300 lira.

Pros: Very cheap!, Many options!, Traditional food

Delicious food ✨

I must say that I’ve been quite pleasantly surprised by this place.

I chose to order lentil soup, a chickpea stew, a dish with bulgur and tomatoes as well as a salad. Everything was tasty and I highly recommend this place as it’s very affordable as well.
