Karaköy Güllüoğlu

The experience

The Karaköy branch of the Güllüoğlu baklava dynasty, a fixture by the ferry docks. Trays of pistachio baklava, tel kadayıf and şöbiyet are cut and sold by weight, with a stand-up and cafe area to eat on the spot.

Benchmark Istanbul baklava from one of Turkey's most famous baklava names.
