Can see why it is top rated place in Istanbul - Edit
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.

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 - Edit
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 - Edit
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.

Save some room for dessert! - Edit
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.

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 …in the world! - Edit
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.

Best vegan kebab - Edit
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.
