Karaköy·$

Sutlu Nuriye

TRY18.00

Flaky phyllo pastry drenched in sweet milky sauce, layered for sogginess contrasting with crispy edges.

Tip: Try this if you want something different from the standard baklava. Eat it immediately with a fork—it's meant to be slightly wet.

Karaköy·$

Şöbiyet

TRY22.00

Gooey triangular pastry filled with pistachio and cream, folded and honey-soaked.

Tip: Often available in the morning but disappears by afternoon. If you see it, buy it—it's not always in stock.

Pistachio Baklava

TRY32.00

Paper-thin phyllo layers with blanched Antep pistachio, honey-soaked until crispy outside and soft inside.

Tip: Arrive at opening (7:30 AM weekdays) or just after lunch (3-4 PM) to avoid the mid-morning rush. Items sell out by early evening.

Walnut Baklava

TRY28.00

Crispy phyllo with coarsely chopped walnuts, lighter and nuttier than the pistachio version.

Tip: If pistachio is sold out, this is your backup—equally well-made but with a different character. Not a second choice.
