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

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....

The gluten free beyti was quite successful! The service was a bit low, there used to be tea service but we waited for 15 minutes but no service came. The food was successful. 🙏🏻

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🤍🧿

Good gluten free options, really tasty, friendly staff, great for a quick not too expensive meal.

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

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.

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.

EN The best gluten free food I ate hands down. Definitely worth giving it a try. I am not from Ankara but felt like a bit out of the city center but still it was not hard to reach we just walked there from Tunalı Hilmi. TR Without a doubt it was the best gluten free food I have ever eaten. Definitely worth trying. I am not from Ankara but it seemed a bit far from the center but it is definitely not in a hard place to reach, we walked from Tunalı Hilmi.

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.

** A Very Disappointing Experience – Poor Service and Misleading Gluten-Free Options** We specifically chose this restaurant because they advertise gluten-free options, which is essential for my wife due to her gluten allergy. However, what followed was nothing short of a frustrating experience. We ordered a gluten-free pide, but what arrived at our table was a lahmacun. When we questioned the waiter, he casually responded that "since it's gluten-free, it looks like that." This explanation was completely unacceptable—gluten-free or not, a pide and a lahmacun are distinct dishes. After a brief discussion, the waiter changed his stance, insisting that while the dish looked like a lahmacun, its ingredients were those of a pide. Again, a ridiculous claim. Eventually, he admitted that the restaurant does not have a separate oven for gluten-free dishes, meaning they cannot actually prepare gluten-free pide. Yet, they still charge for it as if it were a genuine gluten-free option! If a proper gluten-free dish cannot be prepared, this should be made clear **before** taking orders, instead of misleading customers. To make matters worse, we also ordered a regular lahmacun, and its base was completely burnt—another disappointment in an already frustrating visit. Overall, this experience was unacceptable due to both poor service and the lack of honesty regarding gluten-free offerings. If you value transparency and quality, I cannot recommend this place.

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

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!

Jacque Bertin

One of the delicious places to visit in Kadıköy. They even make the pita they put in the Iskender sandwich gluten-free, nice idea. If you ever pass by, I recommend you to stop by.

Esra Cibooglu

Great food and ambiente! They also have a gluten free menu.

Leo König

The Cheesecake was amazing!!! And gluten free!

Madison Elander

Good atmosphere, service and food was great. Options for gluten free, vegan, etc which I appreciate as a celiac and food was labelled with allergens. 10/10 experience

Neyran Erlevent

Gluten free bakery

Can Yaş

Usual quality, nice atmosphere. The fact that they use a separate oven for their gluten free options is a whole different experience

Çağrı Gunarli

Not suitable for celiac patients. Unfortunately, there are no gluten-free products.

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.

Екатерина Трусова

Super friendly place, run by a lovely couple , serving healthy and wholesome food without sugar, gluten or dairy. Home to the many street animals due to owners’ kindness, a cozy run-away to treat yourself to the best you deserve

michael jakobsen

Super place, delicious food and very friendly staff and many gluten-free dishes 😃

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.

Gluten free hazelnut balls are perfect

Serpil Taş

I have been going there since the day it opened, it is the only place I go when I need food in the shower, but as someone who eats gluten-free, I would like to have healthier snacks, there are now many different flours, sorghum, buckwheat etc. and desserts made without using sugar, I think it would be more beneficial if the product variety was like this, but it does not satisfy me very much as gluten-free, does my stomach get full, the cleaning is very good, the employees are smiling and fast, they are very good

Aleksander Popko

great place, thanks! gluten free options available
