Vegan in Istanbul - Edit
Excited to find a fully vegan restaurant here. There are not too many. It’s a small restaurant, looks like a family business, kind staff and good food with a fair price. I went for the Ravioli that is homemade and delicious, but is spicy and I was not expecting. The Tiramisu is veeery good!
Read morePros: Tasty and homemade food, Staff is friendly
Cons: They let cats in - not good for allergics like me, Very small, not many tables, They close rather early

Possibly the best vegan restaurant in Istanbul - Edit
We came here with high expectations given the rave reviews on this site and elsewhere... and we weren't disappointed. It's a small, simple place with room for ten inside & another ten outside, but the chef really works wonders in their tiny kitchen! I had the smoked aubergine dish, which is a bit like baba ganoush topped with meatballs & tomato sauce. It was amazing! My wife had the Turkish ravioli, which she also enjoyed. Definitely worth seeking out.
Read morePros: Great food, Fair prices, Friendly staff
Cons: I'm not a big fan of cats in restaurants

Amazing Turkish vegan - Edit
I had a great brunch at this spot. It’s very intimate with only a few tables but I sat outside on a sunny day and was a complete peace. The food is flavorful and all around amazing for the price.
Read moreI had the tofu toast from the breakfast menu and the Turkish Ravioli dish from the lunch menu. Both were equally delicious.

Awesome Turkish food - Edit
The grilled eggplant was one of the best ones we ever had. It was really delicious!
Read moreThe Adana Kebab was super tasty too and the Tzatziki was perfect. It is a small restaurant with a cozy atmosphere. The staff is super friendly. You need to eat at the restaurant when visiting Istanbul.

Very tasty food - Edit
We had the turkish ravioli. They didn't had the normal one, but only the ravioli without gluten. I normally don't really like ravioli without gluten, but this one was very tasty.
Read moreWe also had the döner and that tasted also amazing and we had the cheeseplatter. I think the cheeseplatter would be my only little point of critic, because I think the cheeses could have had more taste. We've had vegan cheese before and I've had better ones, but still the restaurant looks very cute and the staff are very friendly. Would definitely recommend it!
Pros: Food is very tasty, Cute atmosphere, Nice and friendly staff

It was a long trek up a long hill to get here but the meal was great. The traditional eggplant dish was amazing. Maybe one of the best dishes I have ever had. Cant recommend this place enough.

Turkish Ravioli - Edit
Went to this restaurant about 45 minutes before closing and was seated immediately. Something I’ve been doing on this trip is asking the waiters what the lost popular dish is. I was told the Turkish ravioli so that is what I ordered. I thought it tasted great. I also saw the curry katsu being delivered and that looked good as well. I’d love to have that next time.

Good food - bit boring salad - Edit
We got some good burek, a nice egg toast and the kebap. Was mostly tasty. Only the salad was a bit boring, almost no sauce and lots of leaves. I imagined something more creative.

Save some room for dessert! - Edit
A really friendly restaurant with a good selection of dishes from traditional Turkish to Katsu curry. The kebab is excellent and very filling. The apple crumble cake is outstanding as is the brownie. The pastries looked so good we couldn’t resist and bought some for tomorrow’s lunch.

I really appreciated the opportunity to try local/traditional dishes. This ravioli had so many layers of delicious flavors and textures. It was incredible. My non-veg friend talked about it for hours after eating it (win!!).
Super nice staff. Bonus, cat companions you can pet during your visit. 💕💕💕
