Amazing ‘home-cooked’ turkish food

Put simply, I returned to this place 4 times to try everything.

Delicious, cheap, homemade vegan food

Small restaurant with dishes arranged in a way that feels very homemade. You have three different plate options: 3, 4 or 5 choices and all are amazingly cheap, yet very delicious. The owner and her employees are also very kind and welcoming. Those with sweet tooths must try their vegan baklava for dessert! Definite must for vegans and the restaurant is in a hip area of town. Thank you Vegan Istanbul from MKF & family (visiting from Portland, Oregon & New York City USA)

Pros: Homemade dishes, Cheap, Kind and friendly owner and staff

Great value

This restaurant is an unpretentious vegan cafeteria style restaurant. For 35 lira, you get three generous servings of three different dishes. While the food isn’t necessarily amazing, it’s very filling and you won’t leave hungry.

Affordable, Friendly, Delicious!

Buffet style, family fun restaurant. Paid 10 lira per item (i.e. 50 lira for 4 mains with rice). Everything tasted fresh and was delicious. Can't miss the vegan baklava!

Cheap but delicious!

I like finding local shops like this to eat while traveling. I picked out 4 items from the display and it was only 45 lira! Everything was very good. I also had to try the baklava which is sweet but also yummy. Nice to try some vegan Turkish cuisine.

Incredible food and value for money

Sooo glad I found this place, such good food, maybe the best vegan food I’ve had in my life. And SO cheap. I had a plate with 3 options for 35L, which is $2 as of June 2022. Please support these lovely Turks.

Pros: So many options

Good opcion

[English Below] Es un lugar pequeño y familiar, tienen un mostrador lleno de diferentes opciones y mezclando 4 de ellas, crean tu plato por 45TL, es decir, unos 2,5€. La comida es bastante normal, pero te ponen una buena cantidad por ese precio y los dueños son muy amables.

It is a small and familiar place, they have a counter full of different options and by mixing 4 of them, they create your dish for 45TL, that is, about €2.5. The food is normal, but they give you a good amount for that price and the owners are very friendly.

Just not tasty

Honestly the worst vegan place I've visited in my life. Yes it's cheap, but the food was just not tasty and weird. Left the rest on the plate and left

Pros: Cheap

Excellent food

A lovely old lady make about 15-20 dishes, which you then choose 3-5 from. She puts them on a plate and microwaves so they are warm. The food is delicious and well priced. It’s 45 lira for 4 different foods, and I think she said 35 for 3 different types.

Pros: About 20 all vegan options to choose from, Delicious! , Turkish + other Mediterranean food

Cons: Only soda for drinks (or water 👍)

Good variety

There was a good variety of healthy vegan food to choose from; aubergine, spinach, beans etc. I think it was 35try for 3 dishes and 45try for 4 dishes. I enjoyed the food and although it could have done with some more seasoning, simple food may be standard in Istanbul as I have found the same elsewhere.

Pros: Variety, Healthy, Affordable

Great choice

I've been going here almost every day! Many options to choose from the display case, you can pick 3 for 35₺ or 4 for 45₺. Baklava is very sweet but good. Good enough English to explain what things are. Also has extra seating upstairs.

Excellent handmade food and great selection..

We (a family of five) asked to be served family style, as we felt overwhelmed by the great selection of all vegan dishes and thus got to try almost everything. The hummus was probably the best we have gotten so far in Turkey and everything tasted fresh and delicious. Also the probably homemade kombucha was a wonderful accompaniment to that most delicious meal. We tried three of the desserts and they were scrumptious as well.
It was such a wonderful meal for so little money.

Pros: All vegan and very inexpensive , Great selection of buffet style dishes , Very friendly

The world needs more of these vegan places

This restaurant has many options that are pre-cooked. This means that they will heat it up for you. But this is no problem. There is a lot of variety and the food is really tasty. For 4 different items on one dish we paid 40 Lira. You can get 3 different items for 30 lira. The food is very filling and has a lot of flavours. There are only two small downsides, the chairs on the ground floor are not that comfortable and I think that a bigger microwave would be nice as sometimes when it gets busy you have to wait quite some time for the food. But if you want tasty nutrious vegan food come here!

Pros: Many options, Flavourful, Enough seating areas

Cons: Small microwave

Shockingly Good Food

I have ti admit, it is the beat food I had in 2 years. True, I don't like the fact they microwave it to heat it up, yet this is the business model. Even if the food quality suffers some, the food is still well above normal.

The hours posted seem to be wrong. Today is sunday and I would be back bit the owners said they wouldnt be there.

Pros: Taste of Food , Quantity, Price for the quantity

Cons: Microwave to heat it up

Good variety of food but not a lot of flavour

I liked you could pick lots of different meals to try, however there wasn't a lot of flavour in the foods.

Vegan baklava was nice.

Pros: Vegan baklava, Lots of different things to choose from, Cheap

Cons: Not super flavourful

Yes it did all taste pretty similar! 😅 Was nice to have some veggies and hummus though after basically surviving on bread and pasta whilst visiting other parts of Turkey
