Aubergine and Manti ravioli - Edit
Very tasty. However small portions (we needed to go to another place directly afterwards). Also a bit pricey, approx 600lira.

Veganized Turkish comfort food - Edit
Even though this place serves dishes that don't sound healthy (kebab and mantı/pasta mainly), the food has a very homemade vibe to it, my kebab plate had a mountain of homemade seitan, but also loads of veggies on it. The grains, sumac and her "parmegiano" (ground pumpkin seeds with nooch) added the extra flair to the food, which I really liked. Owner is also very chatty and adorable and told us of her rescued cats, the area and Istanbul recommendations. A bit pricy but definitely worth it!

Amazingly cute restaurant - Edit
It starts with the owner. The enthousiasm and happiness she brings transforms any day into a bright one. It’s an all-vegan menu, everything homemade. We tried the kebab and the manti, just delicious!

So good - Edit
I visited this place with my partner — he had the kebab, and I had the sweet-potato ravioli. For dessert, we ordered the brownie. Everything was so delicious that on our next trip to Istanbul we will definitely come back to this place. The owner’s kindness makes you feel genuinely welcome, and the cozy vibe of the place makes it even more enjoyable.

Ein warmes, liebevolles veganes Geschmackserlebnis - Edit
Ich habe hier ein unglaublich leckeres veganes Gericht gegessen und war wirklich begeistert. Die Speisen waren mit viel Liebe und Sorgfalt zubereitet – aromatisch, frisch und perfekt abgestimmt. Besonders Vegan-Iskender-Kebab war ein echtes Highlight: saftig, würzig und sehr sättigend, ohne schwer zu wirken. Auch die hausgemachten Teigtaschen waren weich, geschmackvoll und harmonierten toll mit der Soße.
Read moreDie Atmosphäre war gemütlich und herzlich – man fühlt sich direkt wohl. Dazu ein warmes Gewürzgetränk, das den Abend perfekt abgerundet hat.
Ich empfehle diesen Ort nicht nur Veganer*innen, sondern allen, die gutes Essen lieben. Ich komme auf jeden Fall wieder!
Pros: Sehr aromatische und frisch zubereitete Gerichte, Gemütliche, warme Atmosphäre, Freundliche und liebevolle Präsentation der Speise

I am so glad we found this place during our trip! The owner is incredibly nice and the food felt super authentic and was really delicious.
Read moreThe atmosphere is also very cozy and welcoming— and don’t be surprised if one of the restaurant cats come and join you! I had the sweetest cat sleep on my lap the entire time we were eating lunch and I loved every second. 🥰

Die Inhaberin Oya ist wirklich eine wundervolle Frau und Gastgeberin!
Read moreIch war während meiner Ferien in Istanbul mehrere Male hier und durfte verschiedene Gerichte ausprobieren.
Der vegane Iskender-Kebab ist grandios! Die Mantis (Tortellini) werden täglich frisch mit unterschiedlichen Füllungen zubereitet.
Der Brownie ist nicht von dieser Welt!
Ich kann dieses Restaurant wärmstens empfehlen

Decepción - Edit
Fuimos básicamente animados por las reseñas, y después de haber estado en otros veganos en Estambul, puedo decir que este es el que menos nos ha gustado, el local no tiene ningún atractivo, los asientos un poco incómodos, es en un sótano, sin terraza, y en el que más hemos pagado, 60€ tres personas, un solo plato y una sola bebida para cada uno, y sin postre. Se anuncia como que cuidan gatitos pero no había rastro de ellos.
Read morePros: Comida casera, Seitán jugoso
Cons: Precios muy caros, No había postres, No había gatos

Gorgeous Turkish food - Edit
I had the doner, which came with cashew yoghurt, salad, and mashed beans. They were out of bread so gave me some extra food.
Read moreThe place was very cute and colourful, and server was friendly.
Pros: Food, Community based, Friendly
Cons: Felt a little rushed out at the end

So gooood! - Edit
I decided to re-edit my review from 2018 when I last came here. The place has changed location since and doesn’t have a buffet. It’s run by the owner who is very nice. It’s a small area inside. She has a set menu which I take changes. I had the vegan kebab and the next night the meze plate. You can tell the owner makes the food with a lot of love and everything is very delicious. My omnivore hubby also loved the kebab plate. I highly recommend this place if you come to Istanbul. It’s just down the street from Taksim street.

Best vegan place in town! - Edit
Was here with my omni girlfriend and she loved it. Hands down the best vegan place in Istanbul. We had the manti and the kebab, with lemonade and ayran and it was amazing! The brownie afterwards blew our mind! We took another ayran to go cuz it was soo good! Wishing the owners all the best!😄

I can't understand how some people found the food bland - I found it to be very flavourful!
Read moreIt's obviously a passion project run by the couple who make everything themselves. They clearly care about their food and their animals.
Brownie was wonderful, hot out the oven!

Nice - Edit
The room itself was nice and spacious and I love that they’re raising money to help street cats. The servers were very friendly, to be honest rather too friendly as it felt like they were watching us the entire time we were there and we were the only guests. The food was nice, though a bit too much oil for my taste.
