Loved it! - Edit
Staff were super friendly, telling us what the various foods were and helping us select from many options.

Incredible Value - Edit
You won't find a better bargain vegan meal in this city. 10 to 12 premade Turkish dishes to choose from. A massive plate of food cost 25 lira. The lentils, greens, and deserts standout above the rest. The quality and taste are satisfactory. Dishes are made in bulk. Located in the artsy progressive neighborhood Cihangir.

Big portions of low-priced but totally flavourless food - Edit
So the place has two pluses: 1. It's totally vegan; 2. Low prices for huge portions. Nothing much nice to say.
Read moreDue to many recommendations I was eager to visit the place. Unfortunately I had no such opportunity due to covid restrictions. So I ordered a delivery. I was superfast, about 30 minutes. The food itself was total disappointment.
Lahmacun - smelled and tasted like overroasted bread, was dry and had no taste at all
Humus had the same problem as any Turkish humus - no seasoning at all.
Musakka left much to be desired, poor taste, have no idea how one can spoil a dish with and eggplant.
Spinach manti had no spinach. The had no stuffing al all. Still it was best dish in the set.
Never considered myself as sophisticated vegan gastronomist, but I love tasty dishes. Vegan Istanbul serves great portions of low-priced but totally flavourless food.
Can recommend it if you are hungry and want to save money. Otherwise walk this place past.
Pros: Poor taste, Fast cooking and delivery
Cons: Cheap, Big portions

Cheap and oily - Edit
Very cheap place with a quite cheap food. I took much for a low price. A desserts (some chocolate cakes) made from a powder, taste like nothing. Not the worst option if you’re hungry. Very oily, quite salty, everything is fried.
Read moreThe kombucha is just a sweet water. Not recommend.
Pros: Quite cheap
Cons: Too oily , No healthy food, Bad deserts

Good food but too oily... - Edit
I wanted to love this place like all the other reviewers, but on the day we went, we found the food just too oily. We couldn't finish our meals and it left us both not feeling too great afterwards. If they used less oil, I feel that it would be really good food because the flavors are all there. The restaurant itself is a bit dingy too -- probably better to get take-away meals instead.
Read moreI ended up buying some take-away baklava and that was the best vegan baklava I tried during my stay in Istanbul.
Pros: Cheap
Cons: Too oily

Excellent Take-out - Edit
The hummus was perfect to my liking, not salty and tiny chunks of chickpea for texture. Rice-filled cabbage and spinach were also tasty. I didn’t dine in because the place smelled smoky and the outdoor patio is very small.

Feels like eating your mum's food - Edit
What a special place. Everything is made with love and patience. I love the free choice and that you get to see the food beforehand. I think what makes it so special is the home-cooked vibe that it gives. We got a bit fed up with falafel, kebabs, sandwhiches, burgers in all the other places and wanted something that resembles more of a hot meal for a change.
Read moreAbsolutely going back again.
Pros: Delicious home-made food, Friendly and humble staff
Cons: Needs more popularity because the food is amazing

affordable all vegan cafe - Edit
Choose 4 dishes for 25TL is such a good price, there is so much variety and all homemade. Most dishes were very tasty but others were a little bland and since the dishes are reheated the French fries are not good. also the mosaic cake & lahmacun were delicious.
Read morePros: Everything is vegan & good price , Sells take away vegan cheese/meat products , Variety of dishes, drinks, desserts
Cons: Prepared ahead of time & reheated

Ordinary at best - Edit
They must have been having an off night. The food was very bland. We got 4 dishes and they tasted the same, even the hummus. So disappointed as we went based on the good reviews. The tea was really good though.

Traditional home style - Edit
Place serves a selection of Turkish traditional food, some odd which has been adapted to be made vegan.
Read moreThere are selections behind a counter and the server plies options on the plate.
Food is reheated in a microwave.
This was a bit hit and miss, some options like the eggplant dish was target, others were a bit too oily for my liking.
Pros: All vegan
