Can see why it is top rated place in Istanbul

It was a long trek up a long hill to get here but the meal was great. The traditional eggplant dish was amazing. Maybe one of the best dishes I have ever had. Cant recommend this place enough.

Great food!

Nice little restaurant with plants decorating the interior and cats strolling in and out. Such a lovely atmosphere.
Food was also absolutely great.
We had the Cashew ayran as beverage, the borek as starter, in both variants and mains were the Adana kebab and the ravioli. We can only recommend coming here. Won’t be out last time!

Pros: Nice atmosphere , Good food

Turkish Ravioli

Went to this restaurant about 45 minutes before closing and was seated immediately. Something I’ve been doing on this trip is asking the waiters what the lost popular dish is. I was told the Turkish ravioli so that is what I ordered. I thought it tasted great. I also saw the curry katsu being delivered and that looked good as well. I’d love to have that next time.

Good food - bit boring salad

We got some good burek, a nice egg toast and the kebap. Was mostly tasty. Only the salad was a bit boring, almost no sauce and lots of leaves. I imagined something more creative.

Best place I tried in Istanbul

Everything I tried was tasty. The kebab didn't look good on the photo but we actually nice. The börek was also very good. And more too.

Save some room for dessert!

A really friendly restaurant with a good selection of dishes from traditional Turkish to Katsu curry. The kebab is excellent and very filling. The apple crumble cake is outstanding as is the brownie. The pastries looked so good we couldn’t resist and bought some for tomorrow’s lunch.

Amazing
Vegan
Turkish
Ravioli

I really appreciated the opportunity to try local/traditional dishes. This ravioli had so many layers of delicious flavors and textures. It was incredible. My non-veg friend talked about it for hours after eating it (win!!).

Super nice staff. Bonus, cat companions you can pet during your visit. 💕💕💕

One of the best vegan restaurants in the world

Top notch healthy vegan food! We’ve eaten vegan in many cities and this was fantastic. Must have the GF ravioli - wow. We found it challenging to be vegan in Istanbul and would have eaten here every meal if we could have!

Pros: Food!, Service - great English , Menu - Wide variety of options

Cons: Tiny restaurant

Best vegan dinner in Istanbul

We had a great dinner in this nice and cozy place in Istanbul.
The food was delicious, there were a lot of options, including desserts.
The staff was super kind, and the cats inside the restaurant sleeping on the pillows made the dinner special

Pros: Vegan Food, Central Location, Staff courtesy

One of the best …in the world!

I’ve been vegan for 17 years and travelled extensively worldwide and this cosy cafe in residential Istanbul serves some of the most amazing meals I’ve ever eaten. The Turkish ravioli with meatballs is a taste sensation. The little puffs of ravioli are perfectly complemented by the more robust meatballs and authentic tomato sauce. The beetroot hummus was so creamy and flavourful, and the salad was fresh, crisp and teamed with a tangy, memorable dressing. The jeans were beautifully presented and a feast for the eyes. The host was courteous and attentive. This is a tiny establishment punching above its weight in the taste stakes. I would highly recommend a visit here.

Pros: Freshness of the food , Delicious tastes , Innovative menu

Amazing ravioli and tiramisu

The ravioli and tiramisu were outstanding!!! Everything about that ravioli was perfection. The savoury pie with meat filling was not bad but not great.

Best vegan kebab

My non-vegan friends had spaghetti with 'meat' balls, I had vegan kebab with rice and veg yoghourt sauce. Both of these were unbelievable delicious. While the waiter guy was very helpful and patient with our order, he gave advices what and why to choose. Absolutely recommend, Vegan Dükkan is one of the greatest restaurants I ever ate at.

Pros: Helpful and kind waiter, Nice decorations, Extremely delicious food

Cons: Rather small place

Just WOW!

Gorgeous little place full of plants, serving delicious, homemade foods with super friendly staff. We ate here once and had to come back to try some more of the menu! Loved the homemade cashew tsatsiki, that was divine! I hadn't had a vegan tiramisu since being vegan and this place delivered! A must visit place if you are in Istanbul.

Pros: Reasonably priced, Quick service, Everything is homemade!

Wow - Just WOW!!!

I can’t remember the last time vegan food blew my mind this much. The restaurant is very cute, great service and 100% vegan. The quality of ingredients, nutrition and taste is outstanding. All the food was so great and we kept just saying WOW as we ate. Absolutely recommended!!!

Pros: Taste and quality of ingredients , Nutrition levels in each dish , They promote animal rights

Cons: I would expect the cost to be more for the quality
