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🤍🧿
Delicious gluten-free pizza, its hard to find places that are actually safe for celiac. It’s a bit pricey, but worth it when you’re craving something nice.
Remarkable in the true sense of the word, that is: worthy of particular regard, respect or consideration compared to others.
In fact, this restaurant is notable for its location with respect to the city center (in a side street 500 meters from Hagia Sophia/Blue Mosque); notable for the quality of the food; just as the education, diligence and professionalism of the dining room staff is noteworthy; the friendliness and pleasantness of the owner is more than remarkable; but above all, notable for the competence (particularly of the owner) in knowing how to manage the particular dietary needs linked to celiac disease, in a country where it is difficult to find places equipped in this sense since (good for them) this problem is not widespread.
Finally, their habit of offering a dessert at the end of dinner is noteworthy.
The only thing I didn't find remarkable was the final bill, which I instead found decidedly honest and moderate!
As an expert contributor, I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant.
I interpret the experience I had here as being beyond extraordinary...🫶I say gluten-free diet is an event, there are so many legendary kebabs, appetizers, desserts, especially a kunefe, I feel like I'm in heaven after so many years...I highly recommend it to those who live to eat like me....🫶💜🙏🏻

The view is wonderful, the staff is very attentive, the menu is very rich. Gluten-free and vegan options are available. Gluten free lahmacun was nice. Gluten-free lavash was also served alongside Adana.
We found this place near the Galata Tower that makes gluten-free cheesecake. We ordered a cheesecake with chocolate cream on top, delicious!!! The Turkish tea was also very good. The place is small but we immediately found a table with a view near the Tower. Price a little expensive, the slice of cake and tea cost us 10 euros each, but I recommend this place if you have to eat gluten-free.
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
Dining here was without a doubt one of the highlights of our trip to Istanbul last summer. We ate a delicious variety of grilled dishes along with vegetarian and vegan mezze, and tasty cocktails. We were also accommodated for gluten and lactose intolerances, even with meaty dishes that usually come with bread. The views and atmosphere were serene.
Our two main servers, Ibrahim and his female colleague (forgive me for not knowing her name, although Ibrahim and her will precisely know who I am referring to) delighted us with their friendliness, hospitality and genuine goodheartedness. They made our experience unforgettable, even treating us to complimentary pomegranate tea and lots of watermelon, and without a doubt made us keen to visit again one day. If they were not working, I'm sure we would have chatted for hours.
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.
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!

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.
A wonderful experience.
The first thing is to say that this restaurant has food adapted for people intolerant to gluten, a big plus in its favor!
The second thing is the staff, wonderful, fast, attentive, fun! They asked us to dance and taught us the typical steps of Turkish dance, it was an incredible night!
Some dishes come with a show included and the food is delicious!
We also ordered a hookah and it was spectacular!
If I return to Istanbul, without a doubt this will be the first restaurant I return to!
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.

Just ate at Reyhun Restaurant. Food was delicious and the service was excellent. They kindly checked for us if the food had gluten. Hands down the best service we have received so far in Istanbul. Unfortunately there was a large group of people sat across a few tables who were being incredibly loud, but the manager came to ask them to quieten down.
Delicious food, friendly staff. I'm celiac and they offered warm gluten-free bread for my menemen - such a unique experience I only had there during my visit to Istanbul. They also have many coffee options, I had a delicious Colombian brew. Highly recommended
We were here in Istanbul for 7 days. We ate here three times during our city trip. We can only recommend this restaurant from the bottom of our hearts!! It's really a great atmosphere, the food is super fresh and very, very tasty! If you are sick, the staff and the cook will take care of you and do things like: the food is gluten free. The employees are also happy to give tips on what they can recommend. The waiters are all very nice and funny. They also offer great cocktails and shishas at very fair prices! The service is simply great! The food is beautifully prepared and elegantly served on the table. The restaurant is very clean. You can only feel good here!!! are very satisfied. !!! This restaurant is 10000% worth visiting. If you don't visit, you're missing out on something in Istanbul.😍😍😍 we will definitely come back. 🤍🙌🏼
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.

Great environment being in an old, wine cellar type space - great for dates! Service was extraordinary, we got a bunch of free appetizers on the house for no reason really which was a very nice gesture. Our server was so considerate and nice and they rolled out the carpet for my girlfriend who is celiac and made two portions for every thing we ordered to accommodate her. Cocktails, next level too!
The food, there was a lot of good stuff but perhaps I was looking for something a little more punchy. My girlfriend did tell me to give 5 stars for the food, i would settle for a 4.45 (rounded down to 4 :\)

Fantastic
Excellent dinner with vegetarian and gluten free option. Incredible preparations.
Small portions but many preparations, each better than the other
The open kitchen at the entrance is beautiful
Super present staff with explanations and adequate service
The only flaw, it's too hot, the temperature rises and falls and since dinner is long it's not pleasant
Price high but reasonable
It's good because it has gluten-free products. The interior of the cafe is a bit basic, but that's the concept. It's bad that they serve it in plastic cups
The food is delicious. I tried pasta, manti and salad
Even their potatoes are delicious 😍😍👍
And clean 💕
The place is beautiful, as if you are sitting inside a garden 💕💕
The staff are excellent and helpful 💕💕
The only place that had pasta was in Arnavutkoy 😍
The restaurant is considered healthy and its gluten free but delicious
My wife and I stumbled on this restaurant on a Sunday night for dinner. From the street, it is just a door but inside is a lovely ambient and many sitting places. Mr Mali who attended to us speaks good English, is very attentive and went out of his way to ensure my wife's dish is completely free of gluten. Thank you Mr Mali. We really enjoyed our dinner and the food was good.
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!
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.
The atmosphere is very nice, food prices and portions are normal. However, the service fee seemed a little high to us. Also, our order was wrong and our friends' order was correct, but we didn't mind much. All kinds of flavors are delicious. It is also a very well-kept place, and its staff is very sweet. I was happy with the abundance of gluten-free options. We had a nice experience.
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.
