Most Incredible Meal in Eastern Turkey 🎂

A million thanks for the existence of this restaurant. Their food is astoundingly delicious. Well cooked, well seasoned, and beautifully delivered, we shared various dishes and enjoyed the lovely music, atmosphere, and service. Our local, non veg friends were pleasantly surprised, as it was their first time trying vegan food and they even said they would return without us! What a huge win. I am so so grateful to have such a wholesome, healing meal and especially to be spending my birthday here. What a gift.

I also normally don’t like apple cake, but this one was the best I think I’ve ever had in my life. 😍🍎🍰

Outstanding and mindblowlingly good

This places deserves almost more than 5 Stars. And I don’t think it’s just because we were starving when we came here and we were incredibly well fed - it’s because their food simply is AMAZING. We took several dishes; manti, keledoş, hiroşima, beyti. All of them convinced me with their hearty flavors, how well spiced they were. The balance of flavors and textures, ugh. All the side dishes convinced me as well, like the sauerkraut, the very sweet watermelon. Truly an oasis of food in this region for vegans. Would return anytime and would be a regular living here. Their vegan ayran convinced even the locals eating with us who are not vegan.

Also, it was my partners bornday and they put a cute candle on an apple cake, what a beautiful way to show up.

Pros: Everything., Cats roaming around

Place to be for Plant Based Eating in Diyarbakir

Lovely plant-based Restaurant in the middle of a city full of meat. It has been a pleasure eating here.

Really lovely place

Super lovely place right in the city center, the garden is perfect to escape the lunchtime heat. The owner is vegan too and very welcoming and there's cute cats around (like everywhere in Turkey). Seemed like a popular place, it got pretty busy during lunchtime.

We ordered a mixed plate of almost everything on the menu because we couldn't decide and everything was really tasty and filling, typical local cuisine veganized without using substitutes.

Fully recommended 😊

One of the best all vegan restaurants in Turkey

Pit aside that the food is amazing and you can find traditional food in a vegan way. The place is super hip, nice and cool. Alot of the young cool people of the city come here so it's a good place to blend in. The owner and the staff are so freaking nice.

Delicious food and a chance to try traditional Turkish dishes

I was so happy to find a vegetarian restaurant in eastern Turkey! So much meat is eaten here, it was a relief to find this place listed here on HappyCow. It's great to be able to try traditional Turkish dishes, as well! And it's a lovely atmosphere, with lots of cute cats all over the place. Plus it's Covid-appropriate, because you're dining outdoors. So nice to get a warm welcome to this happy, relaxed and friendly restaurant, PLUS the chance to eat delicious, reasonably priced meals. I recommend Gabo to anyone.

Pros: Delicious food!, Cats everywhere, Friendly service

Cons: There aren't any.

A vegan gem in Diyarbakır

This place is magic, a very beautiful vegan oasis in the middle of the East. What a wonderful surprise, the food is delicious and the staff is amazing, super kind and friendly. I highly recommend to have your breakfast or lunch in their terrace, a delightful place to enjoy food and quality time.

Wow, Gabo!!!

If I could give Gabo 6 stars, I would!

Food is amazing, with a big variety to choose from. I got addicted to their hot chocolate! Desserts are lovely, too.

It's a lovely place, with lots of seats. Gabo also has really friendly staff, as well as good music.

Mains are about 15 lira. Hot chocolate 10 lira.

Pros: Big variety of top-quality food, Staff are super friendly, lovely vibe
