Great restaurant with a separate vegan menu (just ask). Lots of options, it was hard to pick! Waiters were knowledgeable about veganism. The atmosphere inside is really beautiful and made for a very special meal.

They had an entire vegan menu with so many choices that I didn’t know what to pick. I got a salad and a vegan spaghetti Bolognese that were both delicious.

I really appreciate that this small, ambient restaurant has a dedicated vegan menu (which is advertised outside the restaurant too). We went there twice and tried the mezze of various dips and tastes with bread, curry rice and tofu, chilli sin carne, and dolma. All tasted very good. The servers are really nice and speak English very well too. I recommend trying the vegan version of salep, which is a traditional milk drink made with orchid bulb powder and sugar. It has such a rich and unique flavor!
