Very delicious!

Excellent food. Had the falafels with hummus and tabouleh. It tasted great and the portion size was very generous. I didn't quite finish it although I was very hungry before.

Atmosphere not the greatest.

Lovely falafels

Really nice crispy but moist falafels. Much of their menu is naturally vegan.

Crispy falafel and yummy hummus

I tried the menu 3, the one with salad and hummus. The falafel was so light (even though it was fried) and delicious, as well as hummus.

A very small place in the heart of Taksim square. It’s more like a middle eastern eatery rather than a vegan restaurant.

Pros: Falafel, Hummus, Location

Cons: Tables could have been cleaner

Very good food

Best falafel! Everything else was good too.. Soup, Fries, and the works. If only they made fresh bread/pita! Highly recommend..

Perfect late night snack at Taksim

We arrived in the middle of the night in Istanbul and searched for something yummy & vegan and found that place. We had the falafel dürüm and it was amazing and cheap.

The stuff was adorable, even though they didn’t speak English really well.

So many vegan options!

Apart from the meat wraps/meat with houmous options, I was told that everything on the menu is vegan. The first day we paid 850TL (about £21) for my vegan falafel and salad plate, my partner’s meat dish and a portion of chips. We were given a big bag of breads and four dips for free. We ate this for lunch and had enough leftovers for dinner.

The second day we visited, we paid about the same for the special salad (chopped toms, cucumber, mint and a few other things), an aubergine dip and two portions of chips. The aubergine dip was THE BEST THING. The special salad was also amazing. Once again they gave a big bag of breads. We have enough bread, salad and tahini dip left over for the next day’s breakfast.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Aubergine dip is incredible, Quick, friendly service

Cons: More expensive than other vendors (still cheap), Has meat options

Late night eats

Having arrived in Istanbul after 10pm we were delighted to find this little Palestinian-run café still open as finding another vegan option near Taksim Square may have been tricky! The falafel is good, as is the hummus. But the star for me was the tabbouleh which was spot on! It's not as cheap as it once was but that's inevitable given the hyperinflation that Türkiye has suffered from in recent years. Prices are still fair and good value when translated in £ or €.

Pros: Tasty Middle Eastern food, Open late

Cons: Serves meat, Pretty basic greasy spoon style place

Falafel house

Staff friendly, able to indicate which menu options are vegan.

Falafels we’re crunchy on the outside, fluffy on the inside! 🤤 humus was smooth & creamy!
Also came with additional tahini and chilli dips

Pros: Falafel , Good prices, Plenty of options

Best Hummus Ever

The best Hummus I’ve ever had. Everything was fresh and tasty. The Falafel plate was 280TL , which I thought was a little expensive compared to other falafel restaurants in Istanbul, which is why I didn’t give it a 5 star rating.

Great falafel, ful, hummus, tabbouleh. Also as much bread, tahini and chilli sauce as you desire! Price is more than many other falafel spots in the city but portions are large, service is good, nice friendly atmosphere.

Pros: Great portion size, Fresh ingredients , Tasty!

Cons: A little pricey for istanbul

Tasty falafel wrap

If you are not very hungry, I would recommend the falafel wrap, it’s good and cheap, but small. Unfortunately I haven’t tried the hummus, because the wrap comes without it. The falafel is one of the best falafels I’ve ever had.

Best falafel so far in Turkey!

Best falafel I've had on my trip to Turkey (third place I've been to where I ordered falafel)! Worth the trip to the outskirts. Get to see where the locals live and very yummy!!! Not touristy so you can eat in peace. Hummus and baba ganoush were also delicious! Spicy sauce wasn't as spicy as we would like but we gobbled it up!

Isitklal street is nearby (walking distance) so you can hit that up after this delicious meal!

Staff was super friendly and made jokes! Service was fast!

Falafel durum was good

I ate a falafel durum & enjoyed it! It was 20 TL.
Not too dry as some falafels are.
I would eat there again!

So good but prices are higher now

Today we ate two plates with 6 falafels, tabboule salad and hummus with free pita bread for 74 L each and I saw the menu of seven months ago and that same plate was 42L.
But still good and lot of quantity.

Cheap, fast, filling

We ate here a few times over the weeks we were in Istanbul, so that says something. It was our go-to when we just needed a quick meal. We got falafel wraps and at 7 TL, this was a bargain. Is it the best falafel I've ever had? Not at all. But it was always open we we needed, always friendly and clean (we only ever sat outside), the ingredients were fresh (we watched them prepare our food from our table, looking in through the front window) and the price was right.

Pros: Fast and cheap, Healthy and filling

Cons: Not the best falafel in the world, ok?

Eat here only if there is no other option

This place looks quite shabby and not so clean, but the falafel and the side dishes are decent. I used to come here more often, but ever since seeing meat and chicken on the same counter as they are preparing the falafels, I cannot visit this place anymore.

So if you are almost starving and there is nothing else you can eat around, you can choose to try their falafels and their tabboulleh.

Pros: location, the food is filing

Cons: serves meat and chicken, shabby and (sometimes) not so clean looking

Worst falafel in the city

In addition to the titular falafel, which you can get in a platter, or a wrap, they also serve chicken nuggets(!) The quality of the falafel is quite bad, I really wish they would improve the recipe. It tastes mostly of baking soda. The only good thing about my meals have been the hot sauce. Even the tahini sauce is watery. I think the owner's son is there sometimes and he speaks English and is very friendly, but otherwise the servers are indifferent and rude. Avoid! [edit by staff] I have been here several times, each time hoping they might have improved. Out of desperation mostly, since they are the only veggie option in the area.

Pros: Location, Outdoor seating

Cons: Indifferent staff, Tasteless falafel

It's frustrating alright.. Pizza Hut or Starbucks could be a better option after 10/11pm when the other veggie places have closed. Otherwise it's cig kofte time.
