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

Gluten-free ravioli.

As someone who has been here many times, I am updating my positive comment because unfortunately the business does not deserve this. Smoking in the restaurant section, namely the dining area, causes a very bad smell, and all the tables outside are filthy, unfortunately there is bird droppings on the chairs. Frankly, I do not understand how this business has been left so unattended. Although I have no alternative as a celiac patient, it has become a place I will not want to come again.

Nur Civelek

A place where you can find many gluten-free products and eat ready meals. We were satisfied. I recommend it. 👍🏻

Gyf Ffyijffut

Wonderful for gluten free

Erokay Gürz

I especially chose it because all their products are sugar-free. There are also gluten-free options. The products are sweetened with apple juice concentrate, they are very delicious and don't overpower the taste. They have very kind and smiling employees.

Azra ERTEN

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

Really enjoyed gluten free options here in this fabulous restaurant. Such great ambience and food. We liked it so much we came back a second time - a real find!

Emma OH

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

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.

Fabulous food and the owner and chef is celiac, so 100% safe. One of the best meals we enjoyed in Turkey. 3 of us ordered (only - celiac) and everyone enjoyed their meal - and dessert!

Damla Sezgin

Every single one of the appetizers was delicious. As someone with celiac disease, it was great to find a place where we could eat comfortably, that was tasty and reasonably priced. I will be coming back more often now.

We chose it for a birthday dinner. The venue and the view are very beautiful. It was very enjoyable to watch Istanbul shining with the dusk. The service quality and presentations are very successful. The waiters are incredibly attentive. It is also very important for me to have gluten-free options. They can provide this as well. The only disadvantage is that they do not offer valet service due to its location.

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!

I called them on Wednesday to order profiteroles, they said they were very busy on Thursday, so we agreed on Friday. But when Friday came, they neither responded to the phone nor to the messages. When I wrote again the next day, saying that what you did was very shameful, I got a reply saying "don't comment without knowing, etc., we had hospital work etc." .So, if a business that takes an order cannot deliver the order, it should call and state this itself so that the customer can be informed. It is a bit funny that they do not return the phone calls and are expected to wonder if something has happened to them. They constantly cancel your order from Trendyol or any other food platform. To no avail. No one should expect anything by saying this.. (I think they should be kicked out of such platforms, do not hesitate to complain about this) As a celiac patient, unfortunately, we are forced to depend on even the smallest business. But since it opened, this place has not taken itself one step further, on the contrary, it has become much more mediocre. I think I would not choose this place even if I were to go to the other end of Istanbul. Literally, their style and management. disgrace

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.

Until my purchase on July 5, 2025, it was a business that was extremely positive, very tasty, and created a great gluten-free alternative for me. I still find this initiative and effort very valuable. Maybe there is a problem with the supply products recently, maybe a new chef has come, I don't know, but I didn't like the last products I bought at all. Compared to what I ate before (I shop here a lot), it is quite oily and dry, relatively tasteless, the portions are the same as before, but there is no taste at all. The butter cookies that I used to eat with great pleasure before were incredibly dry, very crunchy, and difficult to swallow. Maybe the products we bought have been waiting too long, that's why I don't know. I also tried quinoa raw meatballs for the first time, by the way, it was also a complete fiasco, I don't know why it was a fiasco, the quinoa should have melted completely, but the quinoa remained in grains and there was very little spice, a lot of isot, maybe such a choice was made due to sensitivities. Of course, there are products I bought before and loved. Last week, I had a big birthday cake made from coconut milk; It was perfect, it was made with fruit inside, it was really good. The cookie products and cake products I bought 6 months ago were very delicious, I don't know their current status. As for the prices, I paid a very normal price for a birthday cake, but I find their other products very expensive. I know gluten-free products are expensive anyway, but the products here don't seem affordable to me for many people. Apart from these, the employees are always interested and knowledgeable, sympathetic and smiling, there has been no change in that regard :)

Life saver for those with thyroid problems, celiac disease.. they have amazing flavors. But for those who are not sick, each product is so delicious.. Almond cookies are my favorite, date balls filled with peanut butter, corn flour cake... I couldn't try the sandwiches because they were huge :) I hope we see the day you open a store in Izmir too. Ära cafe.

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.

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.

Great atmosphere, ideal for those with celiac disease as it has many gluten-free options!

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.

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.

From the owner, "We just recently opened, and we not only offer GF but also sugar-free with our in-house sugar substitute that we were developing 2 years prior to opening."
