Delicious food - Edit
I had the Caesar wrap, and it was absolutely delicious! The place has a cozy, welcoming atmosphere, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy a meal. I’d definitely come back and recommend it to anyone looking for tasty fast food in a warm and comfortable setting.

Nice enough, but not memorable - Edit
A nice place with some quite good vegan food. Overall, though, it did not really win me over. Decent for a visit, but not one that stood out to me.

Perfect spot for a fast vegan lunch - Edit
A small, 100% vegan restaurant in Beşiktaş. The menu and seating are quite limited, so it’s more suited for a quick lunch rather than a long sit-down meal. They offer five different vegan protein options (chickpea, soy, or seitan based) which you can have either as a wrap, salad, or bowl. There are also a few fried snack options on the side, but that’s about it. We ordered the seitan wrap and fries, and I absolutely loved it. For dessert, we had tahini fudge and a lemon cheesecake, both of which were good (unfortunately, I forgot to take photos!). Prices were reasonable. I would definitely recommend it.

Not really satisfied - Edit
İskender meat was too thick. Serving with fries instead of pide was not a good idea. The sauce tasted a bit off. Chicken was decent.

Was actually disappointed - Edit
I was really disappointed. The döner wrap was totally cold. The vegan seitan meat was luke warm. Very thin slices. Not tasty at all. The French fries came in a sea of oil.
Read moreThe lady who prepared the food was very friendly and nice. So i even feel bad for giving this review. But it needs to be changed. Also the variety of drinks is poor and common coca cola and sprite somehow do not fit a conscious vegan place.
The French fries were tasty bit the oil should be drained. In the wrap salad a yogurt sauce abd onions and salad were missing..
Very sorry to give that review. But i extra made the effort to get to that place snd was not satisfied.
Also it doesn’t seem professional that one person prepares food and service.

One of my favorite vegan comfort food spots - Edit
This is one of my favorite vegan spots and I often find myself craving their food.
Read moreThe place is small, and unfortunately there is no outdoor heating, so sitting outside is not comfortable during cold weather.
The person who prepares the food speaks good English and is very friendly, which makes the whole experience even more pleasant.
Their Caesar salad is excellent with a very delicious dressing.
But what I highly recommend are the Shish wrap and Caesar wrap — they are incredibly tasty and quite unique compared to typical fast food options.
Overall, it’s a great place for quick, affordable, and satisfying vegan food.
Pros: Friendly staff, English speaking, Affordable prices, Great option for quick vegan food
Cons: No outdoor heating during cold weather, Small place for groups, Not ideal for long stays

Decent food - Edit
I had the 3 specials and the fudge cake. The fudge cake tasted like coconut which was nice but it had no texture variety just pure fudge so i give it a 6.5/10. The burger was fine but nothing amazing nor bad so a 5/10. Thr kebab bowl was good but i wasnt a fan of the fries being put at the bottom as this makes them completely soggy so a 7/10. The fried seitan bowl was fine so a 5/10.

Best vegan food in Turkey! - Edit
Had to visit this place after seeing the menu online. It’s tucked away on a side street on the Asia side of Istanbul surrounded by other food places. The shop os small with a great vibe and lovely team. We had the shish bowl and the tomato sauce bowl, both were so so flavourful, and the shish came with really flavourful rice. If you’re in Istanbul I’d 100% recommend dropping in. Beat kabab I’ve had!

Vegan Turkish fast food - Edit
We came here 3 times during our weekly stay in Taksim.
Read moreEvery meal was either good or delicious. We had breakfast and 2 diners.
By far, the stand out for us were the Kebap plates. As vegans, BBQ is one thing we have a harder time to find, especially good ones. This plate hit the spot hard.
Prices are relatively fair, and the staff friendly enough. There's also a 10% discount if you pay cash.
Highly recommended 👌

Fries were crispy! - Edit
Small casual joint. More simple foods. Had a cesear salad wrap that was ok. Doner wrap was better, spicy if you order that way. Fries smaller and crispier than most, but plentiful as a side. They leave you all the dressings on the table - Bbq, mustard, ketchup. Only bottled water available.

Endurance vegan experience - Edit
The location, I think, it's quite challenging, they are a bit far away from the city center. And probably due to supply/demand adjustments they can't also NOT offer a big selection on food/different dishes, sadly.

Ok food, weird service - Edit
The food here was peefetrly fine, but unexciting and a bit bland. Also, they make you order your food on a website, even when (as was the case for us) there is no one else there.

Poor service and mediocre food - Edit
The food was fine, though was very simple and lacked flavour - it was pretty much 'chicken' nuggets and chips or rice.
Read moreThe worst part was that an older gentleman was very clearly having issues with the digital menu/ordering and was waiting and the staff ignored him, sitting at a table playing on their phones. He was forced to ask for help from another customer, and they still sat there and didn't help.
With the dull atmosphere, it was overall a poor experience.
