Kathryn Fradera

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

Gyf Ffyijffut

Wonderful for gluten free

Azra ERTEN

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

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🤍🧿

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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

Leo König

The Cheesecake was amazing!!! And gluten free!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Bec Hutchinson

I would highly recommend this restaurant! I am coeliac and spoke to the staff when I arrived. They immediately listed off a number of meals I could eat including Lamb Chops, Salmon and GF Pasta. They also verified this with the kitchen staff to make sure that was still accurate and safe. By the time I was seated my Coeliac had been communicated to the wait staff who bought out GF bread for a starter that was toasted and delicious. Food was magnificent and staff were incredible.

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.

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

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.

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.
