Lovely curry in Istanbul! - Edit
Nice spot nearby Hagia Sophia so perfect for after a day of sightseeing.
Read moreMy husband and I very much enjoyed the curries (we had chana masala and Dal tarkha) two naturally vegan dishes. There are many vegetarian options and quite a few are vegan (though not marked as vegan).
I don't agree that it was too spicy, I would say maybe a medium spice for the Dal and the chana masala was quite mild.

over spicy and overpriced - Edit
I went for vegan, with relatively inexpensive potato curry, which I asked to be mildly spicy...but it was very spciy and so I had to dilute with huge amount of white riced. Nan was ordered but instead got one unleavened thin portion, along with very thin lentil soup. The total cost was over $25 dollars as all the additional items (nan, rice, orange juice, and soup) were overpriced. It did not fill me and was so spicy I had to use tons of rice......I left, unfilled, and went to another restaurant. $25 in a tiny cafe with minima; cham (basic shabby) for such a meal is wayi too much. I would avoid.
Read morePros: location, in central location
Cons: too spicy even when told it would be mild, overpriced, uinfilling for $25.

Pleasantly surprised! - Edit
I was a bit dubious about eating Indian in Turkey but we had delicious meals. Palak paneer and the chana masala were delicious! Would definitely recommend eating here. Paneer was so soft and delicious.

Helpful with vegan food - Edit
They did not originaly have any vegan and gluten free food on the menu, but they had a few vegetarian dishes that could be made vegan and gluten free. Very helpful staff and they had no problem with understanding English and my allergies. The food is very spicy, but then again, this is an Indian restaurant, so that should be expected.
Read morePros: Helpful and friendly staff, Understand what vegan mens , Cozy music

Bad food and expensive prices. - Edit
We were completely diasappointed. The food wasn't tasty at all, but the prices really high for Istanbul. We didn't enjoy eating here and I could have cooked any dish we had way better. Any other restaurant we had during our trip was far above Dubb!

what is vegan, what is not - Edit
I was excited to come here.
Read moreBut after asking the waited what was without dariy and what was not, he seemed very confident.
But when i got my food - i think it was kofta or korma it seemed to ahve paneer in the balls. Even though i did ask the waiter. He stated it was rice... it wasnt rice...
So, i guess if you order something simple that you know would be vegan dahl or something then its safe.
Very expensive for a meal by my standards and the flavours seem to be toned done, not very spicy or tasty. :(
Pros: some vegetarian food
Cons: what is vegan!?, expensive

Very good and not neccesarily expensive - Edit
I went to Dubb Indian yesterday for dinner, and so far for me this is the best place for a vegan to go in Istanbul (for a dinner, there's plenty of snack/sandwich shops). I had chana masala with naan bread and got more than full. Tasty too, and the perfect amount of curry being used. Also very good looking food and restaurant, and the staff the friendliest i've encountered so far.
Read moreMe and my girlfriend got super full for 69 TL, the price including the biggest beers the place could offer, two main courses and naan bread - we chose not to have rice with it simply because there was so much food in the main course itself.
Only downside is the price. Compared to other Istanbul restaurants, this is not cheap. You can clearly see that this place is a little fancier than your average tourist restaurant, both menu-wise and because of the location. That being said i'd gladly pay a lot for good food, especially in a city where vegan food sucks so bad...
Go for it, and bring your rich parents/uncle/lover ;-)

Spicy food in Istanbul - Edit
Traditional and everyday Turkish food is not really very spicy, which might seems a little strange given the popular image of bustling bazaars.
Read moreAnyway, spend enough time in the city and you may be starting to miss something with a little bit more of a kick. Dubb does a pretty good job in this regard - the dishes are well made and full of spicy flavour.
Vegetarians will appreciate the layout of the menu, as well as a dedicated Veg. section for mains and a set Veg. menu option, most of the starters etc. are also veg and marked as such. A little more detail here though would be beneficial for vegans and non-egg eaters.
The prices are high compared to other places, it's unavoidable since it's Istanbul and anything "ethnic" is something of a novelty, however the servings are very generous so it's not that bad really. You'll find that a single dish of rice is easily enough for two people.
The view from the top floor is superb, so it's worth hiking up the 4 or 5 flights of stairs (just hope there's a free table when you get there!).
Pros: Spices!, Extensive veg. menu, Location/View from terrace
Cons: Price, Not entirely veg., Vegan/egg etc. menu status not described

Beautiful Indian Restaurant. - Edit
This restaurant is a charming restaurant with real attention to detail. The fourth floor has a wonderful night view of old Istanbul. It is a stone's throw from the main tourist attractions.
Read moreI have a gluten allergy and the menu explains which flours are used in each dish. I do not eat dairy but I'm not strictly vegan-the dishes suited me.
Oh, and the food is absolutely delicious!
Pros: Delicious food, clear menus, good service
Cons: steep stairs
