Kathryn Fradera

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

Courtney Godden

Yummy food, lots of variety. Wasn't to expensive compared to other areas in Istanbul. I am celiac and it was nice to have options for my partner who isn't celiac. Had yummy and beautiful looking desserts. Was too full to eat but took some away with us ❤️ If your near by you have to try....

Janset Özden

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🤍🧿

Emma OH

They had some vegan & gluten free options which were good but not spectacular. Nice to have the option.

Azra ERTEN

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

Courtney Godden

Good food and even better desserts. I am celiac and it was so nice to know that I could eat somewhere safe near Istanbul. Definitely would recommend.

Emma OH

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.

Gyf Ffyijffut

Wonderful for gluten free

Giulia De Luca

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.

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

khadija fennine

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.

Greta Fedeli

Good brunch and gluten-free food. They have gluten-free bread for toast. Vegetarian options and plant-based milk are also available, ideal for vegans. Friendly service, nice atmosphere, and cleanliness are excellent.

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!

Merve Denizci

I really ate the most delicious bagel I have ever eaten, made with chickpea flour. It was a crispy Tap fresh bagel. There are smiling and attentive employees. It is a cafe under the stairs, so it does not attract much attention when passing by on the road, but it is definitely worth a visit for a gluten-free and healthy food experience.

Leo König

The Cheesecake was amazing!!! And gluten free!

Stephanie Winner

We wanted to try the authentic Ottoman foods and Matbah delivered! Some dishes are unusual - stuffed calamari and stuffed melon. My celiac husband received gluten-free bread and the menu was clearly labeled. Service was very good and we received a gift of a bead pendant at the end of our meal. We had visited Istanbul before and were very surprised that the restaurant was nearly empty by 10pm. The other diners were locals, Spaniards, and Americans.

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.

Emma OH

Great options for all diets. Vegan and gluten free options - the homemade gf bread is fantastic! Breakfast spread was very good. Nice Turkish coffee too. The staff were lovely too.

Zeynep Birinci Guler

Breakfast was very delicious. The buns and pastries are delicious. Gluten-free Almond Flour Brownie is amazing. Friendly service. Thanks a lot. We will go again.

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.

dilara bektaş

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.

Jay West

I ordered the gluten free vegan spicy pasta with mushrooms and olives, delicious!

Sıla I.

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

Halit Dincbay

You are very successful in gluten-free products. As a family, we enjoy consuming your incredibly delicious products that suit our taste. I wish you to continue your understanding of Quality-Hygiene-Taste. Thank you, I recommend it to everyone.

Pavlina Kubova

They can prepare gluten-free pasta

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.

Jose Antonio Mongil

We have eaten great They have food and bread for celiacs Highly recommended, we will return

Lauren Siba

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!

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.

Gadea Carpintero

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.

Great little breakfast spot, the menenmen was just what I needed. I am coeliac gluten free and while they didn’t have any gluten free bread, they understood and took care of my dietary needs. Friendly and fairly priced. Would recommend.

Ebrar Ergün

Even though it is small, it is functionally designed, we liked it very much, I recommend everything and there are gluten-free options, I have no idea about the contamination, but there may be gluten-free products, maybe you can ask. Very good poetry can be written with a filter. You can get stickers at the checkout, that's one of my favorite parts. I think it is warmer and friendlier than the Yeldegirmeni branch, maybe it is because it is smaller, I don't know, but I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who wants to drink good coffee and experience different brewing types of coffee.

Richard Breakwell

What a beautiful place, gorgeous food, really attentive friendly welcome and service. Catered to my gluten free request. We can highly recommend and look forward to returning soon.

Favorite spot on our trip in Istanbul. I am Celiac and they knew about gluten free here, and had options from a lot of the menu items. The service here was wonderful with a lot of attention to detail. Very nice, and fast service. The food was amazing and the atmosphere was lovely even on a packed Friday night. Thank you so much and we will be back.

S. Dietzel

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.
