Choices and Olive oil - Edit
Turkish Meze with warm an cold options, many vegan options to choose from(we recommend the warm obergine and the stuffed green pepper). Cozy but be prepared for olive oil!

Careful to go the the right galata kitchen... - Edit
We were checking out Galata kitchen around 11 am today and they said to only open after 12, but they recommended going to the “other” galata kitchen just 50 m down the street. So we did, but it didnt turn out as a vegan food party.
Read moreThey have a vegan dish on the menu (in turkish) but the 2 guys working there didnt really know what to do. They made a “vegetable saute” which was a few pieces of potato with some carrot, and there were 5 cherry tomatoes on the side...
good thing was that when i asked for more they did make it, without charging extra. So only in case of emergency go and eat here.

Delicious food, friendly staff - Edit
Lots of veggie and vegan options, also serving some meat dishes. Food was great - best we had in Istanbul. Staff are very friendly with good English. Highly recommended and would give 5 stars but not fully veggie/vegan.

I couldn’t recommend this place enough! - Edit
This place to me deserves 5* (but the website won’t let me give 5* as it’s not 100% vegan). Most of the food available is indeed vegan, and the offer is huge! On top of that there are few vegetarian options and apparently also meat options (but I didn’t see any meat in the buffet).
Read moreThe food is amazing, very healthy but still tasty, big portions and super friendly staff that can speak perfectly English.
So far, the best food I’ve had in Istanbul!
Pros: Great choice, Menu changes every day, Super friendly staff

Nice restaurant, not expensive - Edit
We were in Istanbul for vacation, we ate there in the evening. The food was good and the service was very friendly . Their english was very good. It's a buffet with cold starters (that day all vegetarian) And main dishes (mostly vegetarian). We shared a starter (we could chose 6 of the many starters they had) and each had 2 half main-courses and we had to much food. We were able to try a lot of things. And it was not expensive at all.

Friendly People, Decent Food - Edit
The staff (owner?) is very friendly and helpful. I got one of the Turkish pancakes made vegan and my boyfriend had a vegetarian one. He really liked his with the cheese; mine without cheese was (understandably) kinda dry but still tasty. Really enjoyed the coffee, tea, and happy cat who sat on our laps.

Very good food - Edit
They have a few vegan dishes you have to ask if they put butter. There is butter in the rice. That is why I had burgur with my main dish. They have some vegan desserts.

delicious homestyle Turkish - Edit
Excellent home-style Turkish food - many vegan mezzes and mains, all marked. We had stewed lentils, eggplant with tomato, braised leeks, cauliflower, and zucchini with greens and tomato. All fresh and satisfying. They have 1 vegan dessert, too. Really recommend - we are here multiple times on our trip. Staff understood my nut allergy & were totally accommodating.
