Tasty food, big portions, nice people - Edit
It’s buffet style where you pick 3 or 4 items and they put them all on a plate. Very good food with a mom and pop kind of feel. Cheap too.

Home-cooked, family-run - Edit
A cute little family run business that serves home-cooked meals. Choose a plate with 3 or 4 items. Food was tasty.

Cheap - Edit
Honestly, I was disappointed. Yeah, the food was cheap and you have many options to choose from but I found my dishes tasteless. Everything is prepared in advance so they need to put it to microwave before serving...

Best vegan restaurant in Istanbul so far - Edit
Anything we've tried here was delicious, and pretty cheap. They even sell a few vegan dairy products (good as well). Nice atmosphere, too.

Great choice - Edit
Went here for lunch. Basic interior and no menu at the moment but many prepared dishes to choose from, displayed in a cabinet. Something like TL35 for 4 selections or you could have 3. Delicious food and generous portions. Friendly owner who does the cooking and her brother helps there too. Fresh drinks available and a range of cake and baklava. Very satisfied, will go back
Read morePros: Large range of fresh homemade vegan food , Friendly service , Very reasonable prices

Lovely tasty lunch - Edit
We went from Sultanahmet to Vegan Istanbul for lunch and it was very worthy of the journey! We ordered one seitan kebab (plate) and one seitan kebab wrap. The kebab was well flavoured. We requested same sauce for the kebab to make it more juicy and were offered a light vegan yogurt, which was also tasty. The dessert, vegan baklava, was amazing. We paid 100 Turkish lira for the above dishes and a can of coke.
Read moreAs other people have mentioned, the food is already cooked and is microwaved for the customers. I would have liked at least the fries to be freshly made, and I would have appreciated a greater variety of accompanying salad for my kebab (it came with only tomatoes and a few fries). Had that been the case I would have given this place a five out of five.
I'll be back with pleasure on my next visit to Istanbul.
Pros: Fully vegan place , Healthy food, Comfy atmosphere
Cons: Microwaved food, Would have liked more diversified salad, Fries not freshly made

Abundant number of choices - Edit
I’ve eaten many times in this place and always found variety. Turkish zeytinyağlı cuisine here is good, sarmas, dolmas, barbunya beans etc. Rather junk food made of seitan, such as kofte balls, tastes dominantly spices. Baklava is well made.
Read morePros: Options, Location
Cons: Depressing and uncomfortable , Cheap vibes from the tables, chairs and decoratio, Balcony in the back has no air to breath in

Good food but cool atmosphere - Edit
We liked the food very much. They use the locanteria approach, whereby you can choose from 10-15 ready made dishes. For 5 different ones we paid only 35 lira. However the place maybe better to use for takeaway, as it isn't really cosy with only white flashy TL-light

Super nice people and good food! - Edit
This was the first place I've tried in Istanbul and the food was really good! They made a Turkish breakfast for us (which was really good) even if It wasn't on the menu and they were super kind, they even gave us some free cookies! There was some kind of fritter that was super delicious and in general It was a pretty good and tasty meal (of you try to avoid oil please keep in kind that Turkish food could be kind of oily, though). Normally you order at the counter and you can choose a mix of three things for your plate and I liked it, because you can try different things this way:) The vegan baklava are amazing!

The best Turkish food I've ever had! - Edit
I'm part Turkish and I can honestly say I had some of the best Turkish food I have ever eaten! Each dish had so much flavour and there was so much to choose from. If you love authentic Turkish food you must go to Vegan Istanbul! The staff is very friendly and it is a family run business, which makes the whole experience ever better.
