Lovely vegan restaurant - Edit
This fully vegan restaurant requires you some uphill walk, but it's very much worth it.
Read moreThe soup of the day (vegetable and broccoli) was quite sour, but I liked it that way.
Both the stuffed cabbage leaves and the eggplant-filled savoury pastry were delicious and went well with the lovely vegan yoghurt sauce.
The lemonade was very sour, I recommend you add some sugar to it.
Pros: Great value for money, Friendly, English-speaking staff, Tasty food
Cons: Requires some uphill walk

Best Vegan Restaurant in Istanbul - Edit
There's no doubt about it, this is the best: carefully prepared and plated vegan versions of traditional Turkish dishes like Hunkar Begendi (hot savory eggplant purée topped with grilled peppers and stewed seitan meatballs), Hurrem manti (triangular dumplings filled with ground soy and spices and topped with vegan yoghurt sauce), and for dessert a rich spice cake drizzled with cashew cream. All of it accompanied with vegan Turkish wine. Magnificent!
Read morePros: The best, friendly, delicious
Cons: small - not many tables

Delicious and nice variety - Edit
Staff was friendly and spoke English.

Nice selection.
Very delicious food.
Sorta expensive but worth it.
Has a decidedly pro-animal rights message throughout the place so that's a huge plus.

Good mantı - Edit
The mantı here is really good, on the English menu they call it "special turkish ravioli". The börek was also nice. There are cute cats that dine in with you here and the service is fantastic.
