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

Like mom's home cooking

I sadly only discovered this place on my last day in Istanbul. I felt so welcomed, it was like being at a family member's home: they make you a plate, you get to choose how many dishes you want to try from a very large variety.
Everything was super tasty and I got a few bureks to go as well which were a great snack in the plane since vegan options are often unreliable when flying.

Awesome & Wholesome

It's always a pure pleasure to support family owned and operated restaurants like this one.

Homecooked meals offered from a buffet style restaurant at a very reasonable price.

If you are in Taksim, this is the spot for your daily Turkish Food supplier. Hands down.

Friendly staff, homecooked healthy meals, tasty desserts, all vegan and cheap. 😊

Highly recommended 👌

Like eating with a local family

Food served out of casserole dishes and heated in a microwave. Casual. Felt authentic, many options, healthy. Doner wrap was ok. The seitan filling is one of the buffet choices plus chopped cabbage. The lavash wrap was a bit dry. We also had the pick 3. Generous portions for the prices. My favorite was the baklava - a must have.

Pros: Generous portions, Healthy, Authentic

Cons: Food was ok

Proper Homemade Vegan Dishes

Vegan Cuisine, a mom and pop owned restaurant. 20 plus vegan side, main and desserts are prepared and provided to customers at a steal price. 3 options is 200 TL & 4 options for 250. Drinks are 80-TL. The portions are big and the owner is very nice and speak multiple languages. There is indoor and outdoor seating as well. We give this experience a 5 out of 5. This restaurant checks all the boxes, for brunch, lunch or dinner!

Pros: The options , The portions , The flavors

Cons: How the food was heated , N/a, N/a
