Lovely staff, brilliant menu and food - Edit
During our recent visit this evening, we were pleased to find the cozy restaurant filled with patrons throughout our stay. Despite being unaware of the generous portion sizes, we placed our order and were delighted with the exceptional quality of the food. Every item we ordered was faultless, and although we were unable to finish everything and had no room for dessert, we requested a Peanut bar for takeaway, which also exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend this establishment.

Went here again today and can only add praise to what was already a great experience completely worth the second visit. This time, I also took some snaps of the food.

Vegan food done right - Edit
What we liked was that they had 3 chefs and a waitress. Most vegan restaurants/cafes of the same ‘small’ size in Istanbul we visited didn’t. This showed in their cooking and service. Both very good. We had spaghetti and meatballs, soup, yogurt, kebab on rice. All very tasty. Recommend. Enjoy!

Absolutely Must Try -plus a vegan store next to it - Edit
A boutique cafe/restaurant with great vegan spirit. The food is absolutely a must try when you are in Istanbul! The staff is super friendly. I had Turkish ravioli (GF), homemade savoury Spanish pie (GF) (takeout) with fermented cashew yogurt and affogato (plant-based cashew vanilla ice cream topped w a shot of espresso, Wow! The jars of cucumber water complete the decor & atmosphere for the dining experience!

Perfection! - Edit
Wow! The meals and desserts were absolutely exquisite. We had the Turkish Ravioli and the Adana Kebab on Rice for our mains, and then carrot cake and affogato for desserts. We wish we would have been able to try more dishes, but we’ll definitely be back whenever we visit Istanbul again.

Simply delicious - Edit
The food here is outstanding. We tried the spinach and cheese borek - amazing - and the manti. The manti tasted homemade and was some of the best I have ever had in a restaurant. Their vegan yogourt is so so good. High recommended. They also have a lovely collection of resident kedis.

Delicious - Edit
The food tasted absolutely delicious. A cute setting in a tiny restaurant, which also lets cats inside (beware of this if you’re allergic). I would recommend getting some form of transport to it because me and my boyfriend walked and it was hell, as the surrounding area was so steep haha. The food made it worth it though!

The best vegan food in Istanbul - Edit
Of all the food we had in Istanbul, by far this was the most delicious and a huge highlight for our trip. Heads up that this is a smaller restaurant so might call ahead of time to make sure you can get a table 10-15 minutes before your arrival.

Pros: Tasty, delicious food (all was good), Price, Clean bathroom
Cons: Space , Tons of cats everywhere (in case you’re allergic)

Lovely - Edit
The restaurant is cosy and located in a nice area. The ravioli was nice, especially the tomato sauce. I’ve coffee and sugar free lemonade were delicious. Kebab was nice. The peanut bar was a great treat. The best part was the cats napping next to us and coming for a snuggle.
