I found that this place is on every corner, five of their competitors are on every corner too. It lost the prestige. Baklava! Baklava! Come get your baklava! The realization that this was lower than expectations even impacted my experience with Türkiye experience. I would avoid it. I see why tourists avoid it. I didn't see anyone there, except some others like me who had been impressed by the social media coverage.

Whatever you'll call me I ate a lot of baklava here and think this store makes the best. (Frankfurt has an excellent one - not overly sweet; will post here when I remember it's name ) Theirs are generally not too sweet, especially the purple ones.

It wasn't as sweet as others, and also felt less dense/sticky than the baklava available at most other restaurants.

I love Turkish desserts over any desi desserts, cakes, pastries, chocolates but maybe not the French croissants. My favorite are anything with walnut and pistachios. I love their Kunafa which is perfectly sized not too big or small super fresh and gives you an option to go with honey or sugar syrup.I always choose the later I'm not too big a fan of honey on a kunafa. But the star here is is the big slice of plain baklava with a thick layer or pistachios courses grounded with their signature ice cream. My goodness it is goodness on a plate. I love it with their basic kewa. The service is always top notch. Their locations their pick are top notch too. Price point -it isn't cheap but definitely worth every penny. There are lots of prepackaged goodies like nuts, Turkish delights etc to buy. I always get their baklava packed in a tin and bring it back their guarantee it's freshness for 10 days. I usually freeze it and eat it as and when I like. Works great. Their locations are beautifully done in their standard theme. I dream of their baklavas every time I'm in Turkey. They do have a few locations in other countries like UAE and England but not in many I hope to see them come to Canada soon.

I was very excited to try this dessert for quite some time, and when I found this place was no going to pass up the opportunity. The kunefe was delicious, savory with slight sweetness, crisp exterior, soft interior. It was accompanied with some milk, which was quite nice with it. However I preferred the Turkish tea, as I am just a fan of tea in general. I would highly recommend visiting this business and enjoying dessert in the middle of the afternoon. It tends to be quieter, and I just enjoyed the experience.
