    This little mom and pop place offers a refreshing contrast to the pricier restaurants around the area. Diverse and delicious selections of healthy food, and ideal for locals and visitors alike.

    Love it here! There are a couple of meat options if you want them, but otherwise it's tasty and healthy veggie food all the way. You can choose up to 5 dishes and they really pile the food on!

    Great variety of delicious, mostly vegan, dishes, currently you can choose up to 5 different kinds on a single plate for 12 TL.. One of the best discoveries in the city!

    The price is good, food is delicious, well served, staff is smiley & kind. That is the only place i’d like to take my friends to have lunch/dinner. They are open till 9pm, closed on sundays.

    A plate full of good Turkish food (up to five different varieties) for 15.50 TL. Hidden gem and hard to find (almost no sign anywhere).

    My favorite restaurant so far in Istanbul! It has a wonderful atmosphere and is fast, cheap, and healthy. There isn't much more I can ask for except for it to be next to my house!

    Fresh, homemade, Turkish. Going back for seconds. Cozy feeling inside. It's a great place to stop when near Taksim, visiting galleries, museums or shopping. But you might just travel her for the food.

    You can have a plate with a vit of everything (max 5 items) and enjoy turkish olive oil mezzes. You can share tables and meet quite nice people while having a bite.

    The quality was OK. It’s a heaven for vegeterians when everything in istanbul is about doners and kofte and kebabs. Thumbs up for the atmosphere and the staff

    Great vegetarian/vegan home cooking place, lots of variety in the dishes available. Good value, and everything was fresh and damn tasty. Could do with some more Aegean style dishes :)

    Love this place! Was one of my regular go-tos in Istanbul. Always cheap prices, excellent selection, and friendly service. Try the şehriye pilav and fırında makarna.

    Turkish Aegean Trattoria. You pick 4-5 olive oil based, mostly vegetarian foods for your plate, and they bring it to you. Very popular lunch place.

    It's all just okay. You walk in, pick five things and they bring it to you, but none of it is all that good, to be honest. The Cihangir Lokantasi is way better.

    Good food, but they always charged us tourists more than the locals. Locals paid 10 TL and us 13 TL for a 5-dishes-menu. Never found out why, but this is very unfair!
