Normally in the US I would stay away from such a desert, but this wasn't too sweet if you can imagine that. I missed this establishment initially as the signage is a bit faded, and the store front is lackluster. However, once you get past the display counters, it does open up in to a long seating area with both inside and outdoor patio seating.

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.

You need to ask for this as you won't find it on the menu. They've been there in the Kadikoy neighborhood of Istanbul since 1807 and are making the goodies the same exact way! All homemade cookies, Turkish treats, ice creams, almond marzipan, and candies at this shop. There is a cute little place to sit in a mini open courtyard thru the back of the store. This was treat I'll never forget in my entire life! The dish is made up of Ice cream, melting warm caramel, candied toasted nuts, and a ganache like chocolate sauce. Everything in this place is top drawer quality sweets!

We came here to try baklava though, so we sat down inside and ordered some homemade walnut baklava as well as a chocolate pistachio baklava.

We also took this opportunity to try the traditional salep beverage which was delicious!
