Perfect vegan restaurant

Lovely vegan restaurant near Taksim.
We arrived late at 21h, 1h before closing but staff was always extremely nice.

Extensive menu with tons of options.
I had a cesar wrap(179tl) and the iskender kebab(249tl) and my boyfriend had the crunch plate (249tl).
Everything was SOOO GOOD, absolutely delicious on all dishes, the "meats", the vegetables, the fries, the sauces, super super tasty would repeat again and again. And not even super expensive.

We finished just when they were closing, even so the lady was really nice, she even acepted to pack half of my wrap to take home so I wouldn't leave leftovers, even though they were closing, 5* staff.

I recommend everything about this lovely space

Pros: Incredible food, Extensive, varied menu, Very nice staff

Mostly processed mock-meat.

Fully vegan and very good food. However the offer mostly mock-meat dishes and for me that's not ok.

Favourite place in Istanbul

We visited twice during our stay in Istanbul.
It's an American style eatery and the staff speak English well.
We tried the falafel wrap, bacon burger, donner and another wrap. The food was ok - 1 found the burger a bit dry and compacted.
A good place to eat and I do recommend it! Just not great
It's more fusion than Turkish food - but there are some Turkish options.

Cons: Bit dry

Very good seitan kebabs

We had the vegan shish kebab and vegan doner kebab, the shish in particular was very good. We were able to swap sides easily. Friendly service.

Vegan Kebab

The Sish Kebab (vegan chicken) was delicious, but could have been better with more sauce. The Iskender Kebab was also good, but it would be better with vegan Tzatziki instead of soy yogurt (it lacked a little bit of taste). The service was great.

Pros: The vegan meat

Cons: The yogurt sauce

Lecker

Das Ambiente wirkt etwas wie für Studenten.
Fleischersatz hat zwar nicht wie das Original geschmeckt, könnte Omnis also vielleicht nicht überzeugen, weil man merkt, dass es Seitan ist. Aber trotzdem super Qualität.

Pros: Sehr leckeres Essen

Average kebab

[EN] The kebabs were fine but compared to other restaurants, the food was very average.

[PL] Kebab był w porządku, ale w porównaniu z innymi lokalami, jedzenie było przeciętne.

Excellent kebab

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.

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

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.
