Busy for a reason

Mid week and early - was lucky to get a seat, lots of people trying to get in at 1900 but not a chance.
If you do get in, food is fresh and home made and you can taste a wide variety of dishes.
Worth seeking out and not far from Taksim, an easy walk.

Great Food!

Very tasty! Glad I could try some authentic turkish dishes the vegan way. I recommend the Adana plate. Also tried some of my friends dishes. Everything was super delicious.

Amazing vegan food.

We had an amazing dinner here - a good choice including kebab, ravioli, smoke aubergine and Katsu curry. They also do a brilliant tiramisu.

Nice Turkish food

We enjoyed our meal here! Would recommend the Turkish ravioli, savoury pie with spinach and tzatziki (SO good) but would skip the pastry filled with cheese (not so good).

Nice little vegan grocery shop next door too.

Very delicious food

We went three times. The first time they were just closing but were so kind to still make some manti for take away. The second time we ate köfte and aubergine stew. Both the delicious!
The third time I had for lunch a soup of the day. It was a cold yoghurt soup, very refreshing for warm days.

best vegan food in istanbul

it’s so incredibly delicious and one of my favorite places in istanbul! I highly recommend the smoked eggplant - the dish is one of the best on the menu and the turkish manti - even some of my non-vegan friends say they’re these are the best manti they’ve had so far.

Amazing traditional turkish cuisine

I just ate the hürrem mantı, and it's so good! It might be the best mantı i've ever had! And the service here is fast and the staff is very friendly! I recommend this place to everyone, but especially vegan tourists who want to try turkish dishes that aren't traditional vegan, such as; Adana Kebap, Mantı, Beğendi. And the cats here are so sweet!

Really tasty and flavourful, with decent portions, and friendly service

We were so impressed with the vegan food offering in Istanbul, and particularly here at Vegan Dukkan Lokanta. Really tasty and flavourful, decent portions, and friendly service. We got the smokey aubergine and manti with a tiramisu to finish. Would 100% recommend, limited seating so make sure to get there early!

Sehr lecker viele Optionen

Ich habe veganes Menemen, Cacık (Zaziki), Tiramisu und Ayran bestellt und alles hat wirklich gut geschmeckt. Die Qualität und der Geschmack waren überzeugend, sodass ich insgesamt sehr zufrieden war. Für alles zusammen habe ich etwa 30€ bezahlt, was ich in Ordnung finde.

Ein kleiner Kritikpunkt: Zum Menemen bekommt man nur zwei Scheiben Brot dazu, was etwas knapp ist – man muss also wahrscheinlich nochmal Brot nachbestellen. Und man durfte kein zusätzliches sucuk auf das menemen bestellen.

Positiv ist außerdem, dass der Innenbereich klimatisiert ist, was besonders an warmen Tagen sehr angenehm ist. Es gibt auch einen kleinen Außenbereich, in dem man sitzen kann.

Trotzdem alles in allem ein super Erlebnis!

Fresh and delicious food

Wonderful experience at this restaurant in Istanbul. The food was fantastic!!! You can definitely tell it was made with love and pride. Great service and a truly inviting dining area. There is in door and outdoor seating. They had free wifi and toilets on the premise. If you are lucky you will have a cat keeping you warm as you dine. Highly recommend.

Cute cafe, great food

Lovely location for your cute little exclusively plant-based cafe/restaurant in the heart of Beyoğlu in Istanbul. Food was great, service was excellent, atmosphere perfect. Highly recommended! It’s tiny, so do ensure you book if you don’t want to risk it!

A great vegan restaurant!

Our favorite place to eat during our stay. Dishes were so tasty we came back twice. Loved the tiramisu, maybe one of the best I had. The interior was super cute and the staff was extremely kind. 10/10. This is a must if you’re visiting Istanbul😄
