Comfort food in large portions

I visited this place a few times earlier in the year while I was in Istanbul. Pick from a selection of premade dishes and they'll heat them and bring a massive bowl to the table.

Pros: Big portions, Good variety

Best vegan food in Istanbul

This was by far the best meal we had in Istanbul! All homemade food and every dish we tried was incredible. Also incredibly cheap! We got two giant plates of food for $12 US dollar/ 360 TRY. You must go here if you are in Istanbul!

Tasty & Affordable Turkish Food

This has to be one of my fav places in Istanbul. The chef was a very nice lady who made all the delicious vegan dishes. I loved all the food here. I could eat here every day! Please come & say hello. Must try!

Homemade taste!

Quality vegan food with great prices.

Buffet style where you tell her what you want and she plates it. Dessert is on the counter (ex. chocolate brownie) and you pay later, after you eat.

I had the four-option plate for 150lr, freshly made orange juice for 80, and baklava for 100.

There is a 10% fee for credit cards.

Pros: Fast WiFi, Two outside tables , Juice freshly squeezed in front of you

Cons: No AC , Climb up a hill, Credit card surcharge

Great spot to try veganized Turkish bites

This is a lovely spot to get a large plate of 3-4 vegan Turkish dishes. There are two cases full of casserole dishes full of homemade dishes, and you pick out 3-4, then it gets put in the microwave. Only qualm is that they don't always make it very hot (an issue we have while traveling).

Serving sizes are very generous, and everything tastes great. It can be hard to choose which to add to your plate, so we have gone back a few times to try more flavors. The pomegranate kombucha is also delicious 😋

Pros: Many vegan choices with great flavor , Affordable

Cons: Food isn't always hot

Traditional Turkish dishes

Traditional Turkish dishes that are either vegan by nature or easy to veganize. I absolutely recommend it, everything tasted great and even the non-vegans enjoyed it very much! Top price and very friendly owners.

So many vegan meze

Just get a plate and try as much little snacks as you like, because the price is very reasonable or just go with the lahmacun, you won’t be wrong if you decide to eat at this lovely place. The owner was very friendly.

Very nice and charming place🌼

Small and warming place, home-made food by a very nice lady, you can try a lot of different portions of typical turkish food for a really affordable price.
She also made kombucha :)
Super recomendable! 🌱🙌💖

Pros: Very cheap, Tasty wit many options, Portion size

Cons: Small place, Not very interesting interior, Bad view from the terrace

delicious food for a low budget

The venue is nothing special (from the "balcony", we had a look onto a building site), but the owners are most friendly and the menue is varied and delicious. We came twice and always had the 4-dishes-option for 150 Lira (a bit more than 5 €). Every plate had its own flavour, it looked and tasted really good. And the portions were ok; we didn't leave hungry. They also had kombucha. Would definitely come back again!

Pros: varied, delicious, healthy food, nice owners

Cons: venue looks a bit cheap

Cheap, homemade and delicious

So much choice! Most nutritious wholesome food I've had in awhile (been travelling). Run by a friendly older couple and the food is just delicious. Highly recommend as it won't break the budget!

Pros: Delicious, Variety, Cheap

Must visit

Homemade food, great prices, many options…
This was the first vegan restaurant I’ve visited in Istanbul, and it really changed everything.
Türlü is a must try!

Small cafe, good selection

A little cafe with pick and mix options from the counter. The food was pretty tasty, especially the carrot salad was actually great. The atmosphere is just that of a greasy spoon but good for a lunch stop and wallet friendly

Good & Cheap Turkish Food from the Buffet

We had a selection from the buffet, which comprises different kinds of mostly Turkish food, all vegan.
It’s not an all-you-can-eat, basically you say how many portions (3, 4 or 5) you want and it is served to you. My food did cost a little less than 5€ which was really cheap for the amount I got(see photo).
The food was good even though not spectacular, and the staff was really friendly. I went there with some non-vegan friends, all of them liked it as well.
