Solo female traveller. Needed lunch before a conference. Really friendly and helpful. Great food and convenient. Waiter explained menu well (gluten free)
We had a very long wait for service, from waiting for a table (this was fine since it was brunch on a weekend), to waiting for our order to be taken, to having the food served. They seemed to only have one person waiting a full inside area, terrace and street seating so an extra person would make all the difference!
Food was okay, not great value but was good too have vegan and gluten free options.
Kolcuoğlu Bomonti Ocakbaşı, a well-known name for Kolcuoğlu Kebap Restaurant, stands out from all other kebab restaurants in one important respect. It has created a great difference with its menu for celiacs. You have celiac disease and want to eat gluten-free lahmacun! This is just one example. It has a completely separate oven for the gluten-free menu. This is a very, very important awareness. The fact that smiling and positive employees are fully aware of the issue is also a great luxury. If you say the environment, it is also very warm. Thank you very much.
Nice restaurant, typical dishes divided between Ottoman and Anatolian cuisine. Very nice garden, friendly and prepared waiters. Also attentive to allergies and intolerances, possibility of eating gluten free. Prices slightly above average. Kadir was very kind.
Absolutely absurd cost for gluten free. Went based on the reviews advertising GF bread and was charged 390 lira EXTRA for my breakfast to replace my bread. Never seen prices like that before anywhere in the world. When I questioned it (as I assumed there was a mistake) the waiter insisted that is the cost
We chose it for a birthday dinner. The venue and the view are very beautiful. It was very enjoyable to watch Istanbul shining with the dusk. The service quality and presentations are very successful. The waiters are incredibly attentive. It is also very important for me to have gluten-free options. They can provide this as well. The only disadvantage is that they do not offer valet service due to its location.
A very unique pub! Good gluten-free options, I just wish they stocked the Gluten-free Efes beer which is available in many other Istanbul pubs! Really friendly staff who were happy to explain the gluten-free food options to me.
All food is fresh and prepared at the moment. Everything on the menu is vegan and celiac people like me have glutenfree options (not the buns or pida though!).
I had a lovely chat with the owner, who is really passionate about her job.
I’ll come back for sure next time I’ll be in Istanbul!
We really enjoyed our meal here. The service was exceptional, staff super friendly and chatty. They accommodated my gluten free needs and brought out complimentary desert and multiple cups of different flavoured teas. It was an experience more than just a meal. Highly recommend.
Very intimate and clean place, we came after reading the nice reviews for the gluten free menu (it really was). Joseph served us with great kindness and precision, very good typical food. I highly recommend it and hope to return soon.
What a fantastic place. The food was delicious. We had the meze plate. I have a gluten free diet and was eating my normal hummus and tzatziki with my own rice cakes and the waiter brought me some delicious gluten free bread. Such excellent service. He even included a complimentary gluten free dessert. I recommend this restaurant. Excellent.
Very expensive for the value. To correct an erroneous review, theyDO NOT have a gluten free menu, but have gf bread. They also will work with you to understand your food restrictions, but the quality and portions were not super great, even though I wanted to like this place. Just a tourist trap, but so it goes being gluten free in the bread capital.
The place is very nice, comfortable, and the staff are super friendly. The menu is very interesting, with varied options and even gluten-free options. However, I found it expensive. They charged us an extra 10% for the service, we had to wait quite a while for the food, and the sandwich I ordered (Club Flat Bread) was thin and had too much mayonnaise. I expected more for a 4.9/5.

Great appetizers! Great service! A warm and friendly environment! I will stop by every time I go to Istanbul! Also, many thanks to the service chef who offered me gluten-free bread due to my allergy!
I came because of a gluten-free travel blog's recommendation. Very bad experience in that regard. I tried to explain myself in English about my illness. I was not understood. I took out my piece of paper in Turkish describing my illness and explaining what gluten is. They offered me vegan pasta. Come on, you have no idea what gluten is. And it seems that they don't know how to understand what they read either. Plus, not a single person in the entire place spoke English, which made everything much more difficult. I don't usually comment here, but the experience has been so bad that I want to warn future celiacs from thinking about going.
All the products I tried were extremely delicious. It is positive that there are vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free products. There is a wide variety of wines and they also have their own wines. The atmosphere is very nice, it doesn't feel like you are in a shopping mall. Summer evenings will be enjoyable. It can be busy after work and in the evenings, reservations are recommended.
The food was fresh and delicious. The service was outstanding and courteous. Very good advice was given about the options for gluten intolerance. We would eat here again.
We chose hidden garden as my wife is coeliac. Tables are in a lovely open space ( an oasis!) in rear of restaurant in their hidden garden. All staff were great, lovely setting and truly amazing food !! The manager Polat was very knowledgeable for my wife’s dietary needs. Lots of places to choose from in Istanbul but we would come back here for the food and the experience.
