This charming eatery offers an array of fresh and delicious dishes, including outstanding falafel, creamy hummus, and flavorful foul (fava beans) drizzled with tahini and olive oil.

Fresh, delicious food! We were craving good vegetarian food in this land of kebabs and köfte, so we searched for a falafel restaurant. Eşter popped up on Google Maps and we’re so happy it did.
Mixed salad was fresh and delicious. Foul (fava beans) were outstanding, laced with lots of tahina and olive oil. The falafel was crisp and delicious with cumin, and served with some lovely pickled cabbage (or something similar) and some spice on top -- these add a lovely kick when you fold the falafel into a sandwich with some salad and tahina.
Staff are friendly -- always a plus. Despite the humble setting on a busy road, we had a lovely meal and a good time. We'll be back soon!
EDIT: We came back for another great lunch. We were earlier today so I saw a wide selection of pastries, mostly savory, I think. I had a delicious roll filled with white cheese. So fresh! We had the foul again, and it was wonderful. Love their falafel too.
Very good hommus, crispy chickpeas falafel, tangy salad. Waiter speaks English. No toilet.
Great restaurant with kind and friendly staff. They helped us with our order as we wanted to double check the vegetarian options- Some of the best falafel we've had in Turkey.

Fantastic little restaurant especially if you are vegetarian or vegan, as there aren't many options for us in this part of Turkey. I had some falafel, some ful, with some bread and salad on the side, plus a small drink. The price was incredible at only 45 Lira. The people working there are very nice and help you in any way they can and also speak English. Would love to come back again
