Amazing food

This was the first Cig Kofte I’ve tried in my life and I can say I was absolutely impressed!! It was extremely tasty and flavourful, also very fresh. I also tried some kind of balls, made with bulgur and vegetables (I don’t remember the name) but they were a bit spicy and also amazing! Staff was friendly and they were willing to explain the menu in English as well. I will definitely go back!

Pros: Central , Cheap, Clean

Very pleasant

Saw Mr Cigkofte by chance when passing by. I was impressed by the cleanliness and the pleasant staff members. Wrap was very good, I took the spicy option, fresh vegetables and pickles. Cheap at only 10 lei. Open till 10pm.

Yummy and cheap

10 lei for the recommended wrap with paste was a bargain. The spicy version had a nice kick to it, and the staff was friendly. Healthy for fast food

Nice and fresh!

Had the falafel wrap which was very nice! Be aware of single use plastics - good idea to ask for your wrap without a bag especially if you are eating in the place.
Orange fresh is also very good!

Vegan wraps to hit the road

Small place with few options to choose from. Tastes good, but the portion could be a bit bigger, I would say. Friendly staff and affordable food.

Best çiğ köfte ever!

A great little place, serving THE tastiest çiğ köfte wraps (and also stuffed vine leaves and falafel wraps too). If you don't know what çiğ köfte is, go here and try it.

This cafe's çiğ köfte is better than in Urfa, a city famous for çiğ köfte!!

Very cheap - approx £2 for a wrap.

This place would be perfect if it didnt use plastic, though maybe it is biodegradable plastic (I didn't ask). You could also ask for your wrap without a plastic bag..

Go here and try this little cafe! Delicious!

Pros: The best çiğ köfte in the world :), Friendly owner, Pretty much all vegan, except ayran/dessert

Cons: Not much seating, Plastic

Not all food is vegan

Disclaimer: NOT ALL FOOD IS VEGAN. One star deducted as not all food is vegan, this is not clearly marked and there is no English menu.

The wrap was tasty and well priced. Service was quick and friendly and staff spoke English. Seating area fits about 5 people as the premises is small. Not sure about wifi and gluten free/raw options.

4/5

Pros: Tasty food , Quick service

Cons: Not all options vegan , No English menu , Limited selection

Delicious food and good location

I loved everything I ate: the sandwich, the cigkofte, the stuffed grape leaves were so good too! The pomegranate juice is the best, really!

The place is located very well, easy to find and it even hasa few seats where you can eat what you order.

Unfortunately I found out that the desserts aren't all vegan and they also serve ayran which is not vegan.

Cons: not all vegan

Super yummy

Healthy food for little money. The cig kofte wrap is super tasty and light- besides the wrap itself and the bulgur mix it contains only raw veggies which makes it a very fresh and light dish but satisfying in the same time.

Pros: Healthy, Cheap, Good location

Not a Çiğ Köfte fan - but I loved this place!

My experience with Çiğ Köfte in other countries has not been so great (remembering an unidentifiable cold massa served with a huge amount of bland green salad leaves without any dressing). However, after seeing some reviews of this branch I decided to give it another try. I went for the wrap - "spicy version" and I was pleasantly surprised. It was really very tasty. Just a good combination of ingredients does the trick, obviously. I also had freshly pressed pomegranate juice which was great, too. And the owner was superfriendly. I am happy I went here!

Pros: tasty fast food, fresh pomegranate juice, friendly owner

Good surprise !

My boyfriend and I have tested the Bio Cigkofte and some vine leaves. Everything was fresh, delicious and cheap.

The cook/waiter was very nice.

Very nice located in a pedestrian avenue for tourists

The place is little : only 2 littles tables to sit. The 1st one is used for tasting, the 2nd one for customers.

I strongly recommend !

Full of flavour

Small and cosy turkish fast food in the center of Bucharest.
They serve vegan Cig Kofte, a wrap with bulgur and fresh veggies that is really fresh and tasty, some nice bulgur patties and also rice stuffed wine leaves.
One of the best places with good and affordable vegan food in the city.

Pros: Tasty and affordable, Healthy, No fried stuff :)

Cons: They sell also baklava and ayran, not vegan, They close at 22

Delicious

A small takeaway with a very nice owner. Food is cheap and very delicious. We had the sandwiches, both versions, spicy and non spicy, are great.
Food seems to be all vegan, they offer Ayran as a non vegan drink.

Pros: cheapcentral

Cons: only cash accepted

really small food stall, blink and you could miss it!

We had a couple of the cig kofte wraps and the pomegranate juice. There is another branch near Universitat metro called Mr Cig Kofte. Here's the address: Balcescu 18. The owner is in the process of adding the 2nd branch in Happy Cow. Wow, very nice wraps. The "meat" is made from bulgur, more than 20 spices, veggies including tomato and chili paste. Only the bulgur is cooked. In the traditional dish the meat is actually raw! This is not, of course, allowed in the European Union, due to sanitation concerns.
The pomegranate juice was pure and deliciously strong.

Pros: great location, inexpensive, cross cultural experience

Cons: very small shop, easy to miss

healthy wrap

Was looking for a snack in downtown Bucharest which was also vegan and stumbled upon this small place. This fast food shop is good for 'to-go' as it serves over the counter.
The vegan wrap they offer is great. Ate one and took one 'to-go' and surely i will return to try the other dishes.
For the vegan wrap i paid 10 Ron which translates to €2 😅

Pros: affordable, healthy, fast serving

Cons: small over the counter shop, can be easily missed
