Friendly, quiet, nice food

After a long hike along the sights of Istanbul it was nice to end up in this quiet side street to have some good vegan kebab and a delicious lemony pie.

Amazing food!

We loved everything we had here! We ordered the Caesar salad, doner wrap, iskender kebab and the cheesecake. It was all fantastic we are already planning to go back before we leave Istanbul to try more dishes.

Extra special bonus is all the kitties at the restaurant!

Fine food but a bit pricey

Lower quality food for a high price, but lots of options and cool vibe. I liked that you order on your phone

Delicious Durum kebab!

Really good food.
The perfect vegan doner kebab durum.
We also had kefta and pasta really good.
Interesting vegan airan with mint, too.

Pros: Durum kebab , Vegan Airan with mint

Cons: Opening hours. They should open more hours, hehehe

Okay food

I felt like the food wasn't amazing but was decent enough. Expensive for the portion size (around 300TL for a main). Quite a few different options too.

Good

Small store, a little out of the way. The food made from seitan could have been firmer, so unfortunately the consistency of all the dishes was not ideal. Everything was very tasty and the falafel is highly recommended. The lemon cheesecake for dessert is also an absolute must!

Molto buono

Cibo molto buono. Personale e servizio gentile. Si ordina tramite app. Semplice e veloce. Shish kebab consigliatissimo. Aggiungerei la salsa yogurt. Wraps favolose. Dolci squisiti. Abbiamo cenato e pranzato li anche il giorno dopo!

Pros: Cibo, Personale e servizio

Tasty Turkish Food

Loved the Shish Kebab, also my friend’s food tasted very nice. The mixed vegetables were extremely well spiced. Good place to try some vegan versions of the local food.
Prices were very reasonable.

Great variety and location

We stopped in to get out of the rain in Taksim Square and were not disappointed. The aryan was unlike any drink in the US. The Caesar salad was surprisingly good - the chicken had a great taste and texture. We also tried to doner wrap and Adana kebab, both of which were really good.

Good but small portions

I ate the Kebab and it was good, there could have been more pita. Tastewise great, but the portions were small. The Falafel salad also only had little falafel.

Pros: Taste, Cutesy small location, Didnt wait long for food

Cons: Small portions, Higher price wise

Poorly Managed

The atmosphere gives the vibe of being a place of indifference.

The waiter was checking his WhatsApp instead of attending to tables. The kitchen delivered the food and then joined the server on the balcony for a smoke break. nobody in the restaurant appeared to want to be there nor was delivering any type of experience important to anyone. It came across as a job that nobody wanted.

The bathroom is dirty and falling apart. The tap is completely loose and not solid to the counter. The water was soaking into the wooden counter. The state of disrepair was shocking but consistent that nobody working there cared at all about the poor state of the restaurant or providing basic services.

What was amazing was you can order your food from the QR code.

This place might do ok if they hired a competent manager to clean this place up as it’s in a cool area of Istanbul. I would never return to find out though.

Pros: Ordering from a QR code, Cool area of Istanbul

Cons: Terrible indifferent service, Extremely run down and dirty bathroom , All staff smoke together simultaneously

Büyük beklentilerle gitmeyin.

Büyük beklentilerle gittim fakat porsiyonları sosyal medyada gösterildiği kadar büyük değil, fiyatlar pahalı, tadı ortalama seviyede, ilgili bir mekan değil.

Cons: Fiyat, Porsiyon

İnanılmaz vegan burger!

Taksim'deki Vegan Food Cartel'da yediğim Vegan burgeri unutamıyorum! Vegan burgerleri, sadece veganlar için değil, herkes için lezzet şöleni sunuyor. İçeriklerin uyumu mükemmel, her ısırık ayrı bir tat patlaması.

Restoranın atmosferi sıcak ve modern, personel ise içten ve yardımsever.

Menüdeki seçeneklerle ilgili soruları içtenlikle cevapladılar. Sağlıklı ve lezzetli seçenekleriyle Vegan Food Cartel, İstanbul'da mutlaka keşfedilmesi gereken bir yer. Kesinlikle tekrar ziyaret etmek isterim!

Great vegan spot

I took a chance on Vegan Food Cartel my first hour in Istanbul and it was great! Intimate restaurant setting complete with sleepy kitty hanging out. Delightful staff who speaks English and great food.

I had two wraps, Turkish meatball and donner wrap. If you want a Turkish food fix without the worry of it being vegan or not, this is a great place to start

Great food

The service was great. I loved the falafel wrap with onions and spicy. I even ordered an additional one for takeout for later. #Veganuary
