Shaden AbdulrahmanJune 9, 2014Simple but nice inside. Service is quick and desserts are finger-licking good. If you're anywhere near Sultanahmet you must try it! Their Superangle is so delicious!
JessJanuary 27, 2015This may be the best dining experience I've ever had. Exhaustingly long menu, amazing sweets and smiling, no pressure service.
Jessica TejiSeptember 5, 2014Incredible amount of desserts in a beautiful ambiance! Delicious baklava, puddings and Turkish delights!
Boris VasechkoNovember 22, 2017Impressive choice of Turkish sweets of all sorts. Cozy atmosphere and nice timely service. Great chocolate cake with cheese (pictured)
Bodie SchultzFebruary 7, 2019Had a jelly/ruce pudding accompanied by fruit on top. The plate is very tasty but the balance was not there as all the ingredients were sweet. Needed another element to help balance out the sweetness.
Eloi Granado EscuerNovember 28, 2016This is the temple of sweet. All sorts of sweets, not only excellent baklavas. And they make nice yet expensive Turkish delights boxes.
Sh. Al ShamsiOctober 11, 2013The place is very nice and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. But their desserts, especially baklava selection were not fresh or moist.
Abdulhameed KassabbashiOctober 13, 2015An old place with a nice atmosphere to have a cup of Turkish tea, but it is so crowded in evening times.
ahmed faizanOctober 2, 2017If you love sweets and dessert , this is the place!! Many choices and what we tasted was delicious
Konstantinos NikasMarch 25, 2015Perfect atmosferic environment, nice ethnic soft music, good service and... perfect sweets!!! Good value for money.- Adrijana HusićSeptember 18, 2012Great Turkish delights of Hafiz Mustafa 1864. Whatever you try, you can't be mistaken. Great ambient that gets you back in the past.
Why are Turkish delights called so? The answer here. Ask the waiters to choose the sweets from the counter, not from the menu. You'll be able to try different cookies for the same price
- Peter SMarch 24, 2013Perfect for dessert and coffee. Friendly service and delicious cakes, baklava, and Turkish Delight.
- Salah NasserNovember 4, 2015The best deasert in Istanbul ever try to take rice pudding it's so sweet
Demet KocAugust 30, 2018Muhallebi and turkish coffee. Interior design was the best part and not expensive.
Chettha Boyd SongthaveepolSeptember 19, 2015Must try these 2 things before you leave Istanbul. 10/10
Leyla KAYAMarch 3, 2014With great desserts, smell of books and music... you will get wonderful experience...
Wallace WangMarch 26, 2013Don't know how to choice? Just go to the window and counter, and use your finger to point it out which u like!
Banafsheh RazaviMarch 29, 2018Customer service is terrible! Rude staff, very grumpy. I had to call them couple of times to bring me menu and take my orders. They are not hospitable at all compared with the $$$ spent.
Ken HawkinsJanuary 14, 2014While it has the bustle of a spot in the hear of the tourist area, it also offers great turkish milk puddings, baked items, and other deserts to match. A great spot for a break.
- Banafsheh RazaviMarch 29, 2018Too expensive with worse customer service! Very grumpy staff. There are many other ones who treat you nicely and are hospitable 🤢
- Robert RaganyJune 5, 2015Poor service. They were out of stock in case of many food. At least cheesecake tasted good.
Seda KonorDecember 6, 2016Hafız Mustafa tatlılarından ilk kez yedim ve bayıldım. Aşuresi ayrı bir güzeldi. Çilekli tartın hem görünüşü hem içindeki muhallebisine bayıldık. Kazandibi de enfes diyorlar. Mutlaka deneyin.
Yalçın KarakuşJune 11, 2016Çemberlitaşa doğru yürürken sağ kaldırımda geçerken gözünüzden kaçmasına izin vermeyin. Zira tatlı menüleri meydan larousse gibi :) özellikle fıstıklı tatlılar tavsiye edilir.
