Galata Kitchen - Istanbul

Some of the hot dishes are vegetarian or vegan. Many of the cold dishes are vegan. Actually we had a mixed plate of 8’vegan dishes. the staff was friendly and spoke English. some of the freshest, most tasty mezzas we had on the European side.

Really recommended place, friendly staff! updated by the previous review on 2021-10-21

Many vegan dishes cook all authentic Turkish house style. we loved it! stuff spoke perfect English and was pretty cool location is beautiful!

There are some pre prepared dishes so you have to choose 1 or 3 plate of each. You can’t mix it. The food was good but nothing is labeled and you don’t know what contains the dishes. You have to ask, the staff talk English but isn’t very friendly. The outside is nice but it was too hot when we were there.

A great selection of vegetable stews and cold appetizers to choose from here. Everything we tried was full of flavor with an interesting combination of ingredients too. Some examples of this include celeriac, apple and dill stew, bulgar and fig salad, sour cherry and cinnamon dolmas and tomato and peanut couscous salad. The price is great too a big plate of 8 choices is 40 lira! Note: the kitchen isn't open for breakfast and they'll recommend the other Galata Kitchen on the same street. I went there and they don't really cater for vegans at all (they said there was one thing that could make vegan, although there was some confusion about it) so don't bother.
