Tasty food. Good prices.

It was easy to choose what to get because they just have big pictures of the dishes and it’s all vegan apparently said the guy working there.

Pros: Delicious food , Inexpensive , Friendly staff

Cons: Cash only

Billig und lecker

An der Tür steht dass es vegan ist, obwohl hier als vegetarisch markiert ist. Es ist auf jeden Fall sehr lecker!

Muy rico y familia muy dedicada

Estaba vacío cuando llegamos, pero a pesar de que la comunicación en inglés fue complicada, pudimos entendernos

Pros: Más que decente la comida, Muy barato, comimos 5 platos por 14 euros

Cons: Local muy viejo y descuidado, No vimos baños

Best falafel in town

I love coming back to this little family run business because the falafel, the baba ganoush and the hummus never disappoint! Always fresh, crispy and full of flavor.
The restaurant is just a few meters off the main shopping street Istiklal, so it's very easy to find, and it's never too crowded, so you can find a spot to sit down (tables are upstairs). The place is run by a Syrian family who had to start a new life in Istanbul but they're doing a really good job running this business. They're all very friendly and good hearted people and I can only recommend visiting their falafel place.

Pros: Delicious food, Inexpensive , Good location

Authentique vegan feast behind main streets

It's a very small, not that good looking place, but don't make mistake of passing it. Food is prepared in front of you. It's simple, delicious and filling

Pros: Made in front of you, Delicious , Cheap but more than one person can eat

Cons: No drink options

true Falafel, from the cool guys

A real taste of Sirian cuisine in the heart of Istanbul, at such a low price. True, it's delicious, everything is fresh, the oil is changed on time. The men who work here are always very nice and happy to see you. I go here every day

Pros: True taste , Avdequate price, Nice workers

Süßes kleines Restaurant mitten in Istanbul

Ein kleines Restaurant an einer aufsteigenden Straße. Ein paar tolle Menüs mit leckeren syrischen Leckereien.

Delicious, but..

We was here several times at 2018. And yes, food was delicious (except vegan burger, dry and not tasty bun). Here was very friendly staff, but I think that hygiene on the kitchen not ok. Once we saw cockroach on the table - it was terrible.

Pros: Tasty food, Friendly staff

Cons: Low level of hygiene at 2018 year

Excellent food! Lovely people!

Have eaten here many many times. The food is excellent, filling, cheap, and the people are lovely. It’s nice to have a change from Turkish food sometimes and get some great Syrian food. Close to istaklal street

If you have to go to one place in Istambul, go here.

Best falafel I have ever had in my life. There are 5 menus you can choose from, we chose the first and the second one. Unbelievably good: the falafel, hummus, baba ganoush... coming back there tonight to eat it again because it was so unbelievably good. Little seating and there is only one table outside.

Tasty Falafel

This is a family-run place hidden on one of the quiet side streets in Taxim/Begolu area. The falafel durum is tasty and a good price too. This place also serves plates with hummus, salad, falafel, and chips. There is some seating upstairs.

Pros: Good price, Tasty food, Friendly staff

Cons: Bathroom needs a proper door...

Veggie place. I think everything was vegan but the babaganoush. We payed like 3£ for falafel with salad. The sitting is ok but not outstanding
