Tıpkısının aynısı! 😍

Vegan cevizli baklava yedim. Fıstıklı baklavaları da varmış ama kalmamıştı. Vegan olmayanın tadıyla birebir aynıydı. Deneyiniz 🤌

Best baklava ever

I've always loved baklava but in the vegan version they are even better! Friendly and helpful staff and a very nice place I hope they add more vegan options in the future!!

It is not a vegan friendly place

They have 1000 dishes and no vegan one, sometimes baclava, but it is avarage.

Yummy Baklava!!

Here they sell 2 choices for vegans - walnut or pistachio. I loved the walnut, it is very sweet as a Baklava should be!! Nice spot, you can sit in and enjoy or get a boxed portion.

I thought it was interesting they also had a range of diabetic Baklava (not vegan) so they seem to cater to many.

Two types of tasty baklavas

Non-vegan Turks have told me that although the aftertaste is a bit different from the original, vegan baklava is pretty similar and tasty, giving it an authentic taste. The place itself was quite cozy.

Baklava as it should be

They have two types of vegan baklava. Tastes exactly like nonvegan baklava. Very good. They also use different tools for vegan and nonvegan ones.

baklava was there yes

Decent, they only serve 2 types of baklava and they were good, the way baklava should be. Nicely packaged, could make a cute travel gift

Such nice Baklava

Two flavours are available - pistachio & walnut. Both super nice and delicious. The place is quite busy but the staff is still friendly and ordering is very straight forward. You can either have the baklava for take away or to eat at the place. Big recommendation for Istanbul!

Best Baklava ever

Here you can find pistachio baklava And wazelnut baklava.
The first one was excellent , the second one tasted very good .
You can choose between two different queues , one to stay and one to take away , in any case the staff will help you since the place is very crowded .

Two vegan baklava options that were tasty! Pistachio was my favorite, but the walnut was also delicious. Be prepared for a long wait, as this is a very popular baklava place.

Nice place

They could tell me which baklava is vegan and I really liked it. Although I think there might be better vegan baklava in Istanbul.

Pros: Nice place, Liked the tea

Cons: Quite expensive

Vegan baklava disaster

If you want to know how is their vegan baklava imagine dry lasagna sheets layered with a very small quantity of nuts and soaked in glucose syroup.
This was probably the worst vegan dessert I ever had.
It was hard to chew.
Overpriced (28TL a piece) comparing to other vendors.
I had the pistachio and the walnut baklava and was stupid enough to order 8 pieces.
An hour earlier I had some baklava at Vegan Istanbul and it was quite nice. This made me want to try some in a famous place. What a total deception.
Please note that there are only 2 trays of vegan baklava and all the rest is vegetarian. You have to ask them to show you the vegan one since there is no label.
I'll post some photos.

Pros: Quick service

Cons: A pastry disaster, Expensive

Vegan Baklava

Lezzet olarak normal baklavadan hiç bir farkı yok. Şerbet oranıda çok dengeli üst üste bir kaç tane baklavayı rahatlıkla yiyebilirsiniz, tadı çok güzel.. 🤩

Updated from previous review on 2023-01-22

Cons: Fiyat olarak biraz yüksek.

Amazing baklava

So happy to have been able to go here. The baklava is so tasty. The decor of the actual place is nice.

Would highly recommend. Prices are reasonable as well.

A chance to taste a Istanbul classic

This place is quite famous, although it has a very undertated appearance. The staff was very patient with my lack of Turkish language skills. However, there was only 2 vegan options and they were too sweet for my taste.

Pros: Helpful staff, Traditional place

Cons: Few options, Overly sweet

Baklava vegani deliziosi

Abbiamo assaggiato i baklava vegani al pistacchio e alle noci, spettacolari entrambi!
Saporiti, fragranti e non stucchevoli, davvero consigliati (magari accompagnati da un bel the caldo)!

Such good vegan baklava

Still only one kind of baklava (pistachio) but it was delicious and the box comes with a card that assures you the staff understand veganism and that it’s made away from animal products.

Great Vegan Baklava!

We had a hard time finding vegan baklava in Istanbul, and the owner of a different vegan restaurant in the city actually recommended this place to us! They only had the pistachio when we went (no walnut) but it was great! It’s better fresh because it’s warm but keeps well too. We each had a piece every day we were in Istanbul.
