We went on a Sunday and most of their menu was sold out due to the weekend being busy. But the waiter was very friendly and helpful, and suggested some nice, local dishes. The food arrived quickly, even though he was by himself, and it tasted really nice. The location was convenient for where we stayed, it is just a few turns away from the busy Istiklal Street. We really wanted to try the cheesecake, as it was recommended everywhere, but unfortunately all desserts were sold out - just a heads up to all that wants to visit —> maybe consider going during the week or Friday. Overall nice experience:)

It was our first night in Istanbul and we were grateful this restaurant was nearby. Quiet, clean, and a simple menu. We had both types of doner and they were both really tasty, and a real treat since becoming vegan - only vegan doner options where we live would have falafel instead. The spicy one had a real kick in the first bite but then becomes quite good. Filling enough for 2 medium sized people ;)
For the menu, you log onto wifi and scan the QR code on the table to see what's available.

They make amazing seitan! I had the kebap and was delicious. The people are super friendly. You also get a discount for paying in cash.

It’s not that easy being vegan in Istanbul, so we were thrilled to discover this restaurant on our recent trip. Unfortunately some of the dishes were sold out when we went, so we couldn’t taste everything we wanted to,  but what we had was really good. Staff was friendly and the food arrived quickly.

It’s a cute restaurant where you can have an authentic Turkish dish but all vegan:) I liked it a lot!
They have a really nice selection of healthy vegan food (also keto and gluten-free)!
