Vegetarian Turkish food in Bratislava — falafel and beyond

Turkish cuisine has a rich vegetarian tradition going back to Ottoman times. If you're vegetarian at Papa Turkish, you have more options than "salad on the side".

Vegetarian dishes at Papa Turkish

Falafel — hero of vegetarian Turkish

Falafel is made from chickpeas and herbs (parsley, coriander, garlic) — no wheat. Shaped by hand, fried for seconds, comes out crispy outside, tender inside.

We offer two formats:

• Falafel bun — 6 pieces in a Turkish bun with hummus (€6.50)
• Falafel plate — 8 pieces with rice and tahini (€7.90)

Vegan? Yes, if you skip the yoghurt sauce.

Kaşarlı pide — cheese pizza

Pide with kaşar cheese. Baked in the oven. €6.80, a generous portion.
