Lovely and local - Edit
The front sign, right outside the shop, shows you the prices and invites the reader to "Go Vegan". I thought this was lovely and set the mood for the whole meal.
Read moreThe food was great and there was a vast selection. The lady behind the counter spoke little English but was extremely kind and polite.
It's, like other places in Istanbul, a "buffet" restaurant, meaning that you get a plate with 3/4/5 different options of what they offer. We loved it. You can really get a fully nutritious meal, with carbs, protein, fats, and plenty of veggies. Or you can just get carbs and fats if that's your thing! The choice is totally yours.
The building in which the restaurant is located is a bit old, but we didn't mind it at all.
We spent around 500 TLA for two 4 options meal and two fresh orange juices.
I would 10/10 go again.
Pros: Vast selection, Affordable prices, "Go Vegan" sign

Delicious little buffet style restaurant - Edit
My favourite place in Istanbul. Very reasonable prices -190 for a 5 options place, cheaper for 4 or 3 options and really delicious food. Would have gone many more times if we were staying longer!

Perfect place to try authentic food - Edit
If you want to get to know authentic turkish food in a vegan version, this is the place. You will get up to five different dishes to try (although the meal is really big with five options). It’s very tasty, cheaper than other vegan restaurants and the staff is very kind and friendly. They speak English, so no communication issues.
Read morePros: Authentic, Lots of dishes to try

Home-cooked food - Edit
My boyfriend and I had lunch here, and surprisingly, no one else was there. As other reviews mentioned, the portions were quite big and made us instantly full. The food felt like something you’d try in a Turkish home—nothing fancy, but really yummy.

Comfort food in large portions - Edit
I visited this place a few times earlier in the year while I was in Istanbul. Pick from a selection of premade dishes and they'll heat them and bring a massive bowl to the table.

Best vegan food in Istanbul - Edit
This was by far the best meal we had in Istanbul! All homemade food and every dish we tried was incredible. Also incredibly cheap! We got two giant plates of food for $12 US dollar/ 360 TRY. You must go here if you are in Istanbul!

Great spot to try veganized Turkish bites - Edit
This is a lovely spot to get a large plate of 3-4 vegan Turkish dishes. There are two cases full of casserole dishes full of homemade dishes, and you pick out 3-4, then it gets put in the microwave. Only qualm is that they don't always make it very hot (an issue we have while traveling).
Read moreServing sizes are very generous, and everything tastes great. It can be hard to choose which to add to your plate, so we have gone back a few times to try more flavors. The pomegranate kombucha is also delicious 😋

Pros: Many vegan choices with great flavor , Affordable
Cons: Food isn't always hot

Traditional Turkish dishes - Edit
Traditional Turkish dishes that are either vegan by nature or easy to veganize. I absolutely recommend it, everything tasted great and even the non-vegans enjoyed it very much! Top price and very friendly owners.
