Very nice breakfast - Edit
Tofu scramble was a 9.5/10, cappuccino was just alright. Very small restaurant so limited space, but we enjoyed the food.

Borek - Edit
Wanted to try this place! I tried the Borek, as I was in a little bit of a rush! Think I got the fermented cashew and microgreens one but it was a while back so can't fully remember.
Read moreTasted nice but didn't think it was worth the price? If it was around the £6/7 mark it might have been worth it but otherwise felt too expensive for what it was. Tasted good still, and there was cucumber water at the table and the staff were helpful in giving me recommendations for other vegan places during my visit! Appreciated that 😊
I don't love rating as I only had the one thing but I'd say 3.5/5, would be a 4 if it was cheaper

Superb!!!!!!!!! - Edit
Amazing and cozy little restaurant, actually also a great hub to meet fellow vegan travellers. High quality and fresh food, the meat substitutes, such as sucuk and adana kebab, had a kinda homemade feel to them. Also the "yoghurt" that came with our spinach & tofu börek was made of cashews, one could tell that it was not the standard supermarket vegan yoghurt. Everything we tried here was very delicious, also the breakfast plate for 2 (only available on the weekend) was very plenty and varied for a pair. Absolute recommendation if you're in town!!!

One of must-visit vegan Turkish restaurants - Edit
I was spoiled for choice by the amazing variety on the menu. Since it was the first meal of my day, I went for the Turkish borek filled with spinach and vegan cheese, served with fermented cashew yogurt, and enjoyed it with a nice cup of traditional Turkish tea. It was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for vegan versions of classic Turkish flavors.

Tiny vegan restaurant with typical Turkish cuisine - Edit
We sat outside the tiny restaurant and didn't know what to order, as everything on the menu looked good. The Special Turkish Ravioli (mantı) with fermented cashew yoghurt, vegan meatballs, tomato sauce and walnuts were fantastic. The soup of the day was made of cauliflower, came with garlic bread, and was also very good. The portions were generous, so we have to come back for dessert. We also got complimentary flavoured water.

Vegan Gem in Istanbul 💚 - Edit
Small restaurant but really yummy food! Everything tasted super fresh and flavorful. The ravioli was definitely the highlight — one of the best vegan raviolis I’ve ever had. The atmosphere is simple and welcoming, and it’s great to see such a solid all-vegan spot in Istanbul. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area!

Tasty food but avoid the drinks. - Edit
I'm trying to understand why I paid over $6 (including the 10% mandatory service charge) for half a latte and I can't come up with any reasonable explanation why I was served a coffee like this. I felt cheated. I didn't say anything at the time because the server was so nice, but I really should have. The ayram was 2x more than we paid at other vegan restaurants too.
Read moreLuckily, the food was very good. Expensive (over $15 a plate) but all tasty. It should be noted that they charge a 10% service fee which no other vegan restaurant in Istanbul I visited did.

Great food - Edit
The food tastes really good, and the place is cosy. But the portions aren't that big (in case you are very hungry). We really liked the place, unfortunately our waiter wasn't very friendly.

Delicious food, big portions, friendly staff. I especially liked the savoury pie, and there's probably the best vegan kebab in Istanbul - not oversalted and fair amount for it's price.

Nice place - Edit
Food was lovely. I had the manti and it was so good, and the affogato. I saw some other desserts to other tables and they looked beautiful, although I was too full to treat myself.
Read moreI was dining alone and a friendly cat decided to jump up and sit across from me the entire meal. Cute little place full of plants and you can see the staff and kitchen from your table.
Service was a little weird - not especially friendly or active, but it was closing time and maybe was a cultural difference.
Not a negative, but this place doesn't serve alcohol which was a surprise to me in a restaurant. I think it's a Turkish norm though.
