We enjoyed two delicious main meals and loved it so much that I took two slices of cake away with me! Finding good vegan desserts in Istanbul can be a real challenge. Everything we ate was fresh, homemade, and full of flavour. A lovely, welcoming place that I'd happily visit again.

The food is amazingly tasty with a satisfying variety of options. Highly recommend the mantı / ravioli, the potatoes and eggplant, and the green bean dish. Have a homemade lemonade to drink, and for dessert a vegan brownie or even baklava. This homestyle feel sacrifices nothing except pretentious posturing. Worth the stairs we climbed to get there (take the T1 or T2 tram and save your knees!) incredibly reasonable prices. 5/5.

This is a casual eatery serving up affordable vegan food along Türkgücü Caddesi in the Beyoğlu neighbourhood. Opening hours are 11am to pm (Mon to Sat) and 2pm to 9pm (Sun). The food counter is upstairs while seating is downstairs. You can do take-away as well. Ordering is simple. They offer 3 or 4 food items per plate. Just point to what you want. They will fill your plate from 12-15 different freshly prepared vegan friendly options, heat your plate and provide it to you on a tray. They do wraps as well if preferred. Drinks available. What was served to us recently was all very good. Great option for those seeking our healthy and plant-based eateries around Istanbul. We'd gladly eat here again when next in Istanbul.

I came to eat here multiple times on my trip to Istanbul. The food is really tasty and there are different options every day. The staff are really nice and the place is cosy. Most meals consist of a mixed plate with many options to choose from. The spinach pie was one of my favourites.

Cute little all vegan Eatery and pretty cheap! They have traditional homemade turkish dishes and dessert. They make fresh seitan themselves for their dishes. Everything was well seasoned and the staff was helpful as well. Would absolutely come again for some cheap food.
