Excellent kebab - Edit
Next stop on my Istanbul vegan food tour was here. This place was recommended to me by a fellow Istanbul vegan. I ordered the Iskender Kebab which game with doner and pita bread mixed together in a tomato sauce. I liked it. I also ordered a tantuni wrap which reminded me of a burrito. It came with spiced meat, tomato, and green peppers inside. I would definitely visit here if looking for traditional Turkish food.

Vegan Food Cartel - Edit
I very much enjoyed the seitan plate, which included bread soaked in delicious sauce beneath a pile is seitan. My friend had the chicken kebab and they loved it. I definitely recommend this as a good vegan comfort food option.

Friendly and unpretentious - Edit
Situated in an off-the-beaten-path area of the city, this eatery is this kind of place that you'd imagine yourself coming often if you'd live in Istanbul. We had a wrap and a burger followed by lemon cheesecake a scrumptious and delicious tahini fudge that I will be dreaming of from now on.

Sorry but not good - Edit
I am sorry to write an bad review but I was really disappointed about the food… Good things first: The service was really nice and it’s also a cosy place. But the food gets 1/5 stars… we had an chickpea masala, there were no onions or fresh ingredients. The chickpeas tasted like there where from a can, the sauce tasted like bbq sauce or ketchup? And we had to paid 160 lira I guess… the burger I had tasted like an ingredient was not good anymore… the iskender kebab was also not nice, just some seitan with an tomato sauce without herbs or an nice seasoning:/
Read morePros: Nice service , Good atmosphere
Cons: Expensive , Really bad taste, Old ingredients

Had the Vegan breakfast and was really disappointed - Edit
I really don't enjoy leaving a bad reviews for plantbased or vegan restaurants, but the food here was really bad. Vegan breakfast was dry and tasteless. Even the chips were dry (I think they were undercooked oven chips). I hope that the other options were better, or maybe the chefs was off sick that day. Staff were very friendly and the place was clean just a shame about the food.

Blend and soya taste - Edit
The taste was a bit blend and the taste of soya was clearly there. Wanted to go there for a second time and a second chance but the opening times are not reliable and the restaurant was closed.

A fun place to try - Edit
I always like to try local dishes when I can, so I had the Iskender Kebab which was interesting - not what I was expecting (the pita is mixed in with the doner and tomato sauce), but tasty.
Read moreThe mac and cheese was not very good, just tasted like overly salted pasta.
Service was friendly but a bit slow.
