Great - Edit
I respectfully disagree with a few previous reviews stating the food is lacking in flavor. This place was great and based around seitan as the main. The vegan döner was excellent and the hot sauce gave it a nice kick. A bit oily but this is standard for many restaurants. Owner was kind and clearly passionate about veganism. This place is very much worth visiting.

Good local dishes made vegan - Edit
This place offers many local dishes made vegan.
Read moreThe orders are placed via a QR code and the service is fast.
We liked the main dishes, a little less the desserts but this is rather a question of individual preference.

Definetly worth a visit!

Didn’t meet our expectations (based on other reviews read) - Edit
We were unfortunately disappointed with the food served here.
Read moreWe tried the shish kebab and Iskender kebab for our main with a side of fried vegetables.
The food was rather bland and although they serve mock meats, the seasoning and overall execution of flavours with the dish we found to be poor.
The fried vegetables were mostly peas and sweetcorn which was disappointing. Despite the iskender kebab being drenched in sauce and shish kebab lacking sauce, neither really hit the spot for us.
Maybe it was just a bad day? Or it is better to order a wrap as it might contain more flavour? I really don’t know…
It is a shame as I did want to like this place as many spoke highly of it :(( #Veganuary
Pros: Atmosphere
Cons: Bland food , Slightly expensive

OMG the Fudge 🤩 - Edit
Stopped here on a rainy day to warm up and have a nice dessert. The tahini fudge was just incredible. So creamy and I got such a generous slice. Definitely wish I had time to try some of their main entrees. #Veganuary

Very mediocre food - Edit
Soft fries with the taste of burn. Not eatable patty in the Veg burger. It tastes as if my grandma who knows nothing of vegan cuisine tried to make something for me out of kindness. But bless her heart it’s not eatable. And they charge over 300 for this?!
Read morePros: Nice cats, Soft seats
Cons: Not tasty food , music not great for daytime lunch, Open doors in winter. Cold

Mayonnaise was not Vegan! Good that I checked the ingredients on the back and saw it contains eggs. I informed the waitress she told me they made a mistake when they ordered it from their supplier.

Turkish street food - Edit
It’s a cool little place with very friendly staff. They offer a discount for paying in cash. Most of the menu was not available when i went but the kebab I has was delicious. Probably the best seitan I’ve had.

Pretty good - Edit
Went on a bit of a mission to find this place as we were after a 100% vegan place to try in Istanbul. Honestly it wasn’t really worth the trek to us. The staff were lovely and what we had (shish kebab, peri peri chick*n, salads and cheesecake dessert) all tasted great. Problems were ordering was via an app and most of the menu (80% I’d say) was unavailable. If we’d have known this we wouldn’t have made the journey! Also a lot of what we ordered didn’t come with the extra sides but when we came to pay they were on the bill, so we had to go through everything quite meticulously.
Read moreBut it’s a lovely vibe in the place and maybe it just wasn’t what we were expecting. Istanbul not the best place for vegans generally so you have to support the vegan places. I would go again if I was near. Would have had 4 stars or more if the menu issues could be sorted.

While the menu boasts having been spiced to the Gods, the food is just okay with mild spice and flavor.

Nice spot, good food - Edit
The food was good and the portion was filling! It‘s a nice location as well, a bit unfortunate that a lot of things on the menu are always „sold out“.

Filling vegan fast food - Edit
Quite cute street near the galata shopping street. Unfortunately many things on the menu can’t be ordered. We had a kebab dürüm and iskender kebab. It was quite expensive (about 21€ incl. 2 Ayrans) 🤔 but filling. Not the best kebab (had unfortunately better vegan kebab in Germany) but worth a visit, when you are around the corner.
Read moreThey also didn’t had the „steak“ and the promising cheesecake (or any other dessert). Which I hadn’t expected on a Saturday late lunchbreak. And I don‘t know why, but the stuff seemed to be a little demotivated or „to cool for us“ 😄 I don’t know…
