The best food in Istanbul

This is possibly the best food I had in Istanbul. Everything is already cooked, you just go find out what’s vegan and order it. The staff is super friendly. The bread is delicious. Everything I had to eat was rich and flavorful. Would love to go back there.

Pros: Lots of vegan choices, Friendly staff, Good prices

Cons: Not fully vegan

Nice food, friendly staff and good price!

Nice place with food ready to be chosen and eaten! Tasty food, very nice staff and really good price. Check that everything is vegan, salad had micro pieces of cheese for example! Very nice place!

lovely and cosy turkish lokanta with many vegan options

*5 stars*

I'm not lying when I say that this place made me realise how easy it can be to eat a balanced vegan diet.
Leylak is a nice little place and one of my favourite restaurants ever. The menu here changes daily and you have a wide and varied choice of vegan mezze, soups, salads and main dishes. There is also a vegan carrot cake, which I can only recommend.

When you are there, you should definitely try the vegan lentil soup. I actually don't know of a better one. There are often vegan lentil köfte, but also so many other recommended mezze.
