Solo female traveller. Needed lunch before a conference. Really friendly and helpful. Great food and convenient. Waiter explained menu well (gluten free)

The whole menu is great! There are incredibly delicious vegan, gluten-free and sugar-free food and beverages. The employees are also very attentive and polite. I just can't imagine what would have happened if the place was a little bigger🤍🧿

Good gluten free options, really tasty, friendly staff, great for a quick not too expensive meal.

Azra ERTEN

It was delicious and nice. Thank you for everything. I recommend their gluten-free pizzas.

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.

So much flavour!! Omg the flavours the chef got into this food was amazing. Very skilled use of spices and herbs. I am very critical and will not say food is amazing just because it’s vegan. There’s a lot of tasteless vegan food out there. This is NOT that! We had the non-gluten free börek, the Traditional Smoked Eggplant and the Special Turkish Ravioli. The chef is clearly someone who loves good food and flavours and understands how to create that. Please go here. Take your non vegan friends because this is how vegan food should be! Oh, one word of warning; this food is filling! Allow time to eat slowly and really enjoy those flavours! Aargh I want to go back and have breakfast there!

Wonderful for gluten free

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.

** A Very Disappointing Experience – Poor Service and Misleading Gluten-Free Options** We specifically chose this restaurant because they advertise gluten-free options, which is essential for my wife due to her gluten allergy. However, what followed was nothing short of a frustrating experience. We ordered a gluten-free pide, but what arrived at our table was a lahmacun. When we questioned the waiter, he casually responded that "since it's gluten-free, it looks like that." This explanation was completely unacceptable—gluten-free or not, a pide and a lahmacun are distinct dishes. After a brief discussion, the waiter changed his stance, insisting that while the dish looked like a lahmacun, its ingredients were those of a pide. Again, a ridiculous claim. Eventually, he admitted that the restaurant does not have a separate oven for gluten-free dishes, meaning they cannot actually prepare gluten-free pide. Yet, they still charge for it as if it were a genuine gluten-free option! If a proper gluten-free dish cannot be prepared, this should be made clear **before** taking orders, instead of misleading customers. To make matters worse, we also ordered a regular lahmacun, and its base was completely burnt—another disappointment in an already frustrating visit. Overall, this experience was unacceptable due to both poor service and the lack of honesty regarding gluten-free offerings. If you value transparency and quality, I cannot recommend this place.

Very nice coffee and gluten free cheesecake

Tegan Burns

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

The person in this shop was very rude and barely let me finish my order! I was excited to find a gluten free pastry and I was planning to buy multiple items but this person decided that after 3 types he packs everything and asks me to pay!

L D Featherstone

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.

Enrico Picari

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!

Leo König

The Cheesecake was amazing!!! And gluten free!

Alys Taylor

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.

Andrea Grimaldi

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.

Çağrı Gunarli

Not suitable for celiac patients. Unfortunately, there are no gluten-free products.

Sue Hatchett

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.

Matilde Barsotti

I invite all Italians to stop by this restaurant to try both the typical dishes and the decidedly positive situation. I am celiac and I had a great time eating in this place, attentive to the customer's requests when ordering and precise in the delivery of the dishes, repeating several times that the dish was gluten free. I felt very comfortable, I ate peacefully with my family and it was truly exciting. I tried meat dishes, fish and side dishes: special! try it and believe it. pampered and accompanied by the nicest and most friendly waiter I have ever met!

Abdulaziz Alharbi

Very good gluten free pasta 👌

Debra Schug

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.

Rishav Dey

Great environment being in an old, wine cellar type space - great for dates! Service was extraordinary, we got a bunch of free appetizers on the house for no reason really which was a very nice gesture. Our server was so considerate and nice and they rolled out the carpet for my girlfriend who is celiac and made two portions for every thing we ordered to accommodate her. Cocktails, next level too! The food, there was a lot of good stuff but perhaps I was looking for something a little more punchy. My girlfriend did tell me to give 5 stars for the food, i would settle for a 4.45 (rounded down to 4 :\)

It was great fun to experience the reinterpreted, fine dining Turkish cuisine and to look at the dishes from Maksut Aşkar's perspective. We opened with warm sourdough bread and excellent olive oil, it was great! My opinion about the menu in general, more than the taste, I loved the way they interpreted the original versions of the dishes, the pasta and main course were a bit too salty, the rice and pasta were also fresh in my opinion. The Keşkül interpretation served as dessert was great, but the dessert, which was a baklava interpretation, should be served with a different name since it is far from baklava, I think 😊 I loved the ice creams with the desserts! Very original and very delicious! The sorrel sorbet I liked the most! It was perfect, in one word, a taste that should be mass-produced and introduced to others! A legendary alternative to lemon and lime and a source of antioxidants 😊 It is great to be able to choose vegetarian and gluten-free menus in the restaurant! Finally, it was very enjoyable to taste the reinterpreted Turkish flavors in such a beautiful landscape, and the waiter who served us was incredibly attentive and polite.

The environment was perfect, the service was excellent, the food and the gluten-free dessert were great.

Sam Brustad

Nice cafe, great vibes. Everything is made gluten free which is great for me as a coeliac, and the coffee was good too.

Sıla I.

Everything was so good, my friend has celiac disease and we felt so safe. The service was great and everything was clean 😊

Briana R

Charming & quaint restaurant with great food and service. Accommodated my friend’s gluten and dairy allergy :)

Matías Biancucci

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.

100% recommend this place for gluten free options! The crumbled cake was lovely. Very well done Urban Staff. See you soon✨💘

Really wonderful Turkish breakfast with excellent quality ingredients and diversity of flavours. Super friendly staff that made us feel so welcome. Beautiful airy space with lots of natural light. Excellent gluten free and vegetarian options too. My favourite breakfast in Istanbul!

Laura Mercanoglu

Genuinely delicious. Fully Gluten Free and Refined Sugar free, so suitable for celiac too. One of the best places to eat if you are gluten free or celiac in Istanbul. The taste was incredible, everything we tried sweet and savoury was amazing. Menu is seasonal and does change to what is in season they were trialing a cinnamon roll and it was delicious. 100% recommend.

Zeliha Çakan

Gluten free options are available, the staff is very attentive and sweeteeeee <3 They also have information about celiac disease. I LOVED IT!

Oscar

Very delicious food. The owner helped us order gluten-free dishes, which were delicious. Especially the typical one that they cook in front of you in a kind of ceramic vase.

It is my first choice whenever I have a sweet tooth or want to have a cake made for a special occasion. Gluten & gluten-free, sugar & sugar-free, they are all delicious. Everything is perfect both in taste and visually, you can order without hesitation. Also, the owner is very sweet, listens carefully to everything you want, and fulfills your wishes perfectly every time.
