Great place to try vegan lahmacun & pida

You'll find this cool little restaurant in the bustling heart of Beşiktas, a little way from the usual tourist hangouts but well worth the visit if you want to try vegan versions of lahmacun and pida.

We shared one standard sized lahmacun and a couple of pida (one topped with mushrooms & cheese and the other with spicy sausage & veggies). Everything was freshly made and totally delicious. We also shared a slice of kazandibi - a caramelised almond milk dessert - for pudding, which was also very good. Throw in a couple of soft drinks & two teas and the bill came to just over ₺600 which is around £15 at today's exchange rate. Great food at a great price!

Pros: Great vegan versions of local cuisine, Excellent value, Friendly & helpful staff

Worth a try

Cute place for vegan pitas and lahmacun. Staff was friendly and service was fast. Did not try the soups or appetizers but a few people came in just for soup so I assume they are as delicious as the pitas I had. Worth a try if in Istanbul.

Pros: Good portions , Affordable , Fast service

Don't think twice!

Don't think twice, find the place and go eat the local Turkish meals as brand new an most probably its better form! As a person who hates Lahmacun, Vegan Masa's lahmacun is the best! I can't even begin the describe how wonderful ther pides are! My favorites Pide with Peynir and Sucuk (Cheese and Pepperoni) you shoul definitely try it and afterwards also try the desserts. Also cacık and ayran can be tried

Pros: Pide with Pepperoni and Cheese, Lahmacun, Sütlaç

Great food

I loved the food especially yayla soup, lahmacun and pide. I think ayran might need a bit of work but the food is so good! Definitely recommend.

Delicious pide and desserts

[EN] It's a nice and full of people spot with delicious pide at low prices. The pide toppings are properly selected. The desserts were very tasty, especially the caramel one.

[PL] Jest to fajne i pełne ludzi miejsce z pysznymi pidami w niskiej cenie. Dodatki do pide są odpowiednio dobrane. Desery były przepyszne, w szczególności karmelowy.

Wonderful

This was my first stop for food in Istanbul and it did not disappoint. I ordered lahmacun and a pide. Both were very delicious. I really enjoyed the pide as it had meat and cheese on it.

Better than pizza!

Oh my goodness! What a crispy taste sensation! They were so nice we ordered twice. We tried the minced meat, mushroom & cheese and potato pide my favourite was the mushroom but they were all excellent. The price is very reasonable and you get a side salad as well. The staff are really friendly.

Quite good- solid option

Friendly quick service. The food was good- it was great to try some traditional food. But I wasn't amazed by the food. The value was pretty good.

Fine, nothing amazing

The lahmacun and pide were fine, nothing special. I did not like the vegan cheese. The balls filled with minced meat we my favorite. I also liked the supangle dessert, but the kazandibi was way too sweet for me.

Greatest experience

We were three people and we shared a mix of everything which they offered in their menu. It was delicious! And also a lot of food – we couldn’t even finish it.
It’s super affordable too.
Long story short: one of the best places to eat vegan local food in touristic Istanbul.
