Okay, if you are hungry!

The salad was good, but the burger and fries are max. two stars. #Veganuary

Pros: Friendly service

Food is passable, the hours are good, the staff are very friendly.

Fat Boys seems to always be open, which is a bonus in the off-season in a tourist town, and while the food is a little ordinary the staff are very friendly and always seem to be having a good time.

The owner used to live in Melbourne, Australia, so has some experience dealing with fussy vegan hipsters and has informed his staff accordingly. Not a huge range of vegan options available and some a little weird (french fries in your vege clay pot?) they're certainly fine. Prices reasonable.

Pros: Decent vegan options., Cheerful and friendly staff.

Cons: Food can be ordinary.

Good food knowledgeable staff

We read a few reviews saying this place had some vegan options so we stopped by. There wasn't a ton, but we got some vegan spring rolls, a clay pot veggie dish that was really flavorful (this came with rice and fries) and the lentil burger for me and my boyfriend to share. It was surprisingly alot of food and we had to take the lentil burger home with us. Everything was good and reasonably priced, and the staff was really friendly and knowledgeable.

Pros: The staff was knowledgeable about veganism, There were a number of decent vegan dishes

Cons: We sat by a drain that smelled really mouldy

Lentil burger is okay for the money

At 25TL, the lentil burger with fries manages to be one of the cheapest vegan options in town. It doesn’t have much in the way of taste or texture, so you’re probably gonna want to throw some ketchup on there, but the portion size is decent. I’ve had it a couple times since it’s not easy to find any sort of vegan protein in town.

Skip the şakşuka. I ordered some for takeaway last time I was there and the portion size was tiny, flavor was lacking, and they didn’t bother including the bread that the menu says is included.

Not very good food but decent for getting some grub whilst having a drink

Fat Boys is a good place to go for a drink. The food isn’t amazing but it’s a good place to grab a bite while you’re having a drink. Not all Turkish, they have some burgers and things. Decent amount of vegetarian options and small amount of vegan. Does the job if you’re hungry! Good atmosphere outside stood by their big fire! Especially on New Year’s Eve!

Pros: Decent amount of options , Good place for a drink

Cons: Food isn’t great

Reasonable amount of vegan options. Would return for strawberry slush!

The staff are okay but quite sarcastic. Food is reasonable - veggie hummus wrap & lentil burger are okay. They have a few options. However, the slushies are amazing ❤️

Pretty standard

Similar vegan options to most places in the area. Stopped in for a quick lunch here - hummus wrap, acili ezme (spicy tomato dip), shepherd salad and shakshuka, which turns out is different in Turkey than the version I’m used to seeing, which has eggs. The Turkish version is just veggies. Anyways the food was fine for the price, but drinks were slightly more expensive here which was the main reason we didn’t come back and kept returning to Silk Road restaurant instead.

Okay but not great

Limited vegan choice, veg choices not the most creative. We had lentil burgers which were dry and bland. Added our own sauce to them. There are better places in Goreme. Not a place we'd return to.

Pros: Quick and easy, place to plug a hole.

Cons: Bland food, limited choice, Not value for money

Happy to help vegans

I ordered 2 mains (one mushroom and one eggplant) and 2 appetisers (salads and a chilli paste) from Fat Boys and after telling them what I couldn't eat, they went out of their way to prepare food without any animal products. Some restaurants tend to use butter in their rice and they informed me of that and happily prepared it without butter.

Pros: Happy to accomodate vegans , Vegan mains

Cons: A few more vegan options would be great

Huge portions

Both meat and vegetarian on the menu but heaps of Veg options. They suggested the kebab, I got the kebab and I’ll come back again for the kebab
