Good value for money, very friendly and helpful staff. One of the few places in the center that offers a gluten-free menu.

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....

A great market and cafe for those who prefer a gluten-free diet and have celiac disease. The prices are quite high, but it is a market where you can find everything you are looking for...

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.

It's my favorite place when it comes to gluten-free and sugar-free... It's one of the rare places where the entire kitchen is suitable for celiacs, without the risk of contamination... It's also nice that it's a family business. A different pleasure with the k environment.

If you visit Kadıköy it is a good idea to stop here for a gluten-free sandwich or cake. It is super tasty and 100% safe for people with celiac disease or a gluten-free diet.

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.

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.

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....🫶💜🙏🏻

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.

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

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.

Ravioli is raw, meatballs are delicious, hamburger meatballs are raw. Gluten-free meatballs come with regular pita, unless you specify. The answer is, are you completely gluten-free? You go and the sink doesn't work, you can go another time and they say it's closed. We went because of lack of options. We decided not to go there again because there was no tradesmanship.

We went at around 10:00 on the weekend, although everything should be fresh, as you know, there are posts on Instagram about fresh out of the oven 😂 so many. 4 bagels, 4 different types of pastries, all of them were so hard, stale and cold that I have difficulty in expressing them. I think comparing it like a stone would be enough. They were all very tasteless. As a celiac patient, I have to eat completely gluten-free. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the worst gluten-free products I have ever eaten were here. The glasses were dirty, the tea was ice cold. We were the only table, even though it was a very boutique place, the service and cleanliness were disappointing. The people serving had a very unprofessional and even disrespectful approach. The gentleman standing at the cash register was very polite and friendly. We thank him. The whole experience was disappointing from start to finish. We would like to thank them for reminding us once again that the facts have nothing to do with the Instagram page.

Really delicious food and great service, very helpful for gluten free food and waitress had excellent English, we'll go back.

Laura Cejudo Iglesias

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!

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.

It is my first choice whenever I have a sweet tooth or want to have a cake made for a special occasion. Gluten & gluten-free, sugar & sugar-free, they are all delicious. Everything is perfect both in taste and visually, you can order without hesitation. Also, the owner is very sweet, listens carefully to everything you want, and fulfills your wishes perfectly every time.
