Many vegan options

Unfortunately we only had the babaganoush to taste and it wasn't good, it was too smoked and didn't resemble babaganoush. the pro is that there are many vegan options and they are very friendly

Amazing choice

I had the vegan set menu 1, but I was absolutely spoiled for choice. After looking at a few menus where I was limited to hummus, this was a welcome relief. It gets really busy, but I could absolutely see why. Fantastic meal.

Delicious!

We went there after 5 pm, and the outdoor seating was already full. You can have a bento-style set meal with falafel, fresh salad, potatoes, and more. It was so filling that I had to take some leftovers home.

That looks yummo! What did they do in the middle of the hummus - it looks interesting.

Decent

I tried the lentil soup(65,00tl) and the Lebanese vegan menu 2(238,00tl).

The food was ok, not bad but not great either, have room for improvement on taste, or maybe it was the dishes I tried. Huge portions, great if you're really hungry.

The place is very cozy, the staff was nice and they had tons of vegan options.

Pros: Huge vegan menu, a lot of options, Good sizeable portions

Cons: A little on the expensive side

Tasty

The menu clearly labels vegan options.

We had two vegan sets, and both were delicious.

We also had some dolmas.

One of the reasons we ended up here was because it was still opened after 21:30h.

Pros: Tasty

Service slow and not friendly

Kudos for the vegan menu, but I wouldn’t recommend this if you’re looking for a pleasant dining experience. Despite only having 4-5 occupied tables, it took 45 minutes to get my vegan combo. I ordered a glass of water too and they forgot to bring it, so I had to remind them. I mostly waited at an empty tables this whole time watching other people eat…

Pros: Vegan menu, Clean inside

Cons: Slow service, Not friendly waiters

Perfect for a casual lunch or dinner!

This place offers, vegan falafels, wraps, falafel, salads, hummus, Kibbeh, stuffed grape leaves, a few tahini style dressings and a walnut cinnamon pastry puff. All delicious and extremely affordable. The portions are good too!

Pros: Vegan options are clearly labeled on the menu, They have one vegan dessert option available, Really affordable and tasty

Cons: Very busy around dinner time

If you’re hungry - it’s good place

I wouldn’t say this is the best falafel, but for Istanbul is perhaps one of the best option you could get. The design is stunning and prices are ok. The hummus served with deluxe vegan menu was a bit weird, quite sweet

Pros: Fresh food, Cozy interior

Cons: Not much variety for vegans

Yumm

Thier vegan Kibbeh though may not pass as a kibbeh in the middle east (stuffed with mushy mushrooms) was soooo tasty. Falafel was really good. Thier vegan menu was extensive. I recommend it for something different

Pros: Plenty of vegan options, Delicious

Cons: Little pricy

Very fresh and filling

Went here with my partner.

We had the Muhammara as a starter with the free lebanese bread - haven't had anything like it before and really enjoyed it. We also had a vegan kibbe to try - we only got 1 but it was soooooo tasty! Would definitely recommend it.

We shared the lebanese vegan menu 1 box. It was filling, tasted very fresh and the falafels were hot and crispy on the oustide. Tabouleh was so good and lemony.

Walnut sambousek was nice as well, would be good if they could do a vegan chocolate one (I am a massive chocolate lover).

Pros: Free lebanese bread, Food was hot, tasty and filling

Cons: More vegan dessert options would be good

Excellent.

Lebanese food in bento boxes is kind of weird - but it's exceptionally good.

Two vegan felafel meal options, both are excellent (and not very different) and should be pursued with gusto. Arguably the best felafel in Istanbul. Even the cay is really good.

Recommended if you're in Karakoy or Galata.

Pros: Exceptional food and drink.

Cons: The door bangs. A lot. And really loudly.

fantastic mezze & kibbeh

has two vegan menus but also many clearly labeled vegan mezze/starters, so we‘d recommend choosing multiple starters/mezze.
the içli köfte / kibbeh were the best we’ve ever had! must try!! even came back for them
fattoush salad, falafels, and muhammara were also delicious.
