Affordable and delicious

The food here is absolutely wonderful, and very reasonably priced. We visited twice and had a delicious meal both times. You order upstairs, choosing three or four options from several, then take your tray downstairs to eat. The ladies serving were very nice! I'd really recommend you visit at least once if spending time in Istanbul.

Pros: Several choices of delicious, homemade food, Affordable

Lovely traditional and affordable food

I came to eat here multiple times on my trip to Istanbul. The food is really tasty and there are different options every day. The staff are really nice and the place is cosy. Most meals consist of a mixed plate with many options to choose from. The spinach pie was one of my favourites.

Homemade Vegan Food

Local dishes made vegan, plenty of options and very affordable.
There’s a counter where you can pick the options you want that are prepared
And then add dessert and a homemade lemonade as well.
Good quality, well worth the visit

Amazing home-style eatery

We came here for a meal with veggies to get a break from all the dürüms, kebabs and baked stuff, and Vegan Istanbul delivered. Loads of fresh homemade-style foods to choose from, everything was super delicious and well-seasoned. They had "meatballs" made of bulgur, homemade kombucha and loads of cakes to choose from. One of the best vegan places we've tried in Istanbul!

Very tasty food

We loved all the food, but the falafel meat took our hearts.
The baklava was very delicious and in a very good portion.
The price there is very fair.
They have a handmade kombucha that is so delicious also.

Delicious food, great vibe, reasonable prices.

Lovely place, we've visited a few places on our trip to Istanbul and this is by far our favourite.
The owner is patient and kind, and explained everything clearly. The place has a lovely vibe. The staff cook the food all day and warm up your food when you order.
The prices are fair and the servings are good sizes.
Above all the food was delicious 😋 we went back the next day. The falafel is especially tasty and the chocolate brownie is incredible 😍 🤩
And not forgetting we had some great company from some friendly cats.

Pros: Tasty food, Reasonable prices, Friendly cats

Nice vegan restaurant!

Fully vegan restaurant. Decent amount of choices. Mostly pre-prepared and heated in the microwave, but tasty! Reasonable prices, seating downstairs, takes cards (prefers cash), no alcohol.

Pros: Choices, Flavor, Nice seating area downstairs

Cons: Some food frozen, not fresh, No alcohol, Long uphill walk from the shore

Yum!

Very cozy place and the food is actually delicious. Reasonable prices, big portions and overall great vibe. Might be a little language barrier with the owner but she’s very friendly person. A lot of oil tho, I would take other things but I got very overwhelmed with so many options

Tasty and good value

This is a place for home cooked food. Between us, we had fava bean, potato and aubergine stew, cabbage rolls, a courgette frittata-type slice and a sort of falafel cake. It was all good, but especially the falafel bean.

We took the baklava back with us and it was crispy, nutty and with just the right sweetness.

The food is great value for big portions. The vibe is canteen buffet style, so not a place for a romantic date but a place to fill your belly with some tasty food.

Pros: Big portions, Good value

Cons: Canteen style, so not too atmospheric

Home style

A moderately small spot with a fairly wide range of premade dishes from which you can select three or four to get warmed up in the microwave. Definitely tasty, cozy, and probably the best prices (other than çigköfte places) I encountered for vegan food in Istanbul. I guess you could call this a lunch counter.

Pros: Tasty, Excellent value

Cons: Nothing made-to-order

Delicioso y económico

Relación calidad precio insuperable. Puedes elegir un plato desde 2 a 4 opciones, tenían como 10 ó 12 para elegir, muy completo y variado. Tres postres : tarta naranja, brownie y Baklavas. En la zona de comedor, aunque es un local sencillo, estuvimos MUY cómodos, había muchos enchufes para que los viajeros puedan cargar móvil y demás. Muy buena señal de wifi. Muy atentos, comimos súper rico y buenas porciones. La limonada está deliciosa!!! Si hubiera pasado más días en Estambul, hubiera repetido seguro!!! Recomiendo encarecidamente.

Pros: La variedad de platos, Los postres, Los precios

Nice place

I only stopped for a coffee and a cake, so can't comment on the food.

I was really excited to have found vegan baklava, although it was super sweet and I couldn't finish it. Coffee was hot and service was friendly.

different kind of restaurant, a must visit!

It feels like you eat in the kitchen of the owner. She was really friendly and offers a lot of different options to try. She reheats it in the microwave so it may not be super hot.
I really liked the concept.

Sehr lecker und typisch türkisch

Sehr nette Frau, die das Essen dort wahrscheinlich selbst kocht. Viel Auswahl und alles vegan. Ich hatte die 4-Optionen Variante mit Falafel, Fava, Kartoffeln mit Seitan und Kichererbsen-Salat. Alles super lecker und sättigend! Dazu gab es Kombucha (glaube auch selbstgemacht) und danach noch veganes Baklava mit Walnüssen.
Sehr zu empfehlen!😄

Pros: Typisch türkisch, Selbst gemacht und günstig , Balkon zu ruhigem Hinterhof

Good savoury food but avoid the baklava

Quick stop at Vegan Istanbul with an easy menu- either 3 or 4 options to pick or a wrap - and three choices of sweets. Unfortunately the baklava we're almost unedible way too sweet.

Pros: Manta, Zucchini pie, Seitan

Cons: Baklava way too sweet

Delicious and authentic

Sehr gutes, selbstgemachtes Essen. Es gibt mehrere Alternativen zur Auswahl von denen man sich 3 oder 4 oben aussuchen kann. Nachtisch gibt es auch. Sehr authentisch und preislich absolut in Ordnung! Auf jeden Fall empfehlenswert für alle die es lokal und authentisch mögen.

Pros: Authentisch , Lokal , Preiswert
