Good quality, lots of options

This is a small vegan restaurant. They offer veganised versions of street turkish cuisine. They had lahmacun, iskender, doner kebap on top of other items as well. It not your average vegan meal with beans and lentils (but i remember them having some indian dal). This is the place to try vegan iskender. I really enjoyed mine and the yogurt was great (my first yogurt since I went vegan and as a yogurt lover I loved it). Prices are decent, 50 lira for iskender kebap (with vegan yogurt) is a catch. Just near the metro station, friendly staff.

Way to salty fries and the steak did not have any flavor

I loved the concept of the place. A full on surprising vegan menu! Yay! I ordered the vegan steak together with fries.

As a Belgian, I take fries very seriously. These were horrible fries. Probably deep frozen fries and they did not know how much salt they should use. It never crossed my mind that the fries should be yellow.

Service was mwah, I needed to say hello a few times towards the kitchen as nobody came to take an order, neither did anyone came to check if the food was good and did I needed to repeat the same events for getting the check.

I truely hope I was just unlucky with the Parisienne steak. Because it was tasteless and unbalanced. The menu looked very fun however, maybe I shouldve taken something else. Also, please add some basic greens to the dish. Just fries and "meat" is boring, even to street standards.

The only thing that was saving it was the sauce, and even then it wasn't amazing.

Delicious!

Located a few minutes from Taksim Square this all vegan eatery features a diverse menu of western and Turkish favorites. The seitan meat substitutes are especially tasty like the steak burger and iskander, incredibly close to the real thing and good enough to satisfy any carnivore. Very flavorful. Extremely helpful and friendly staff as well. One of the best vegan places in all of Istanbul.

Never go hungry

Great food and a lovely atmosphere right near the square and the seaside historical sights. My favourite was the vegan steak with fries.

Pros: Central location, Cozy atmosphere, Varied menu
