Bülbül yuvası

(Ush al-bulbul, Osh el bolbol, Nightingale’s Nest)

Bülbül yuvası is a unique Turkish dessert made with phyllo dough that is shaped into rings which are then traditionally filled with ground pistachios, although hazelnuts, almonds, and walnuts can also be added, if desired. After the dessert has been baked, it is sprinkled with a syrup consisting of sugar, water, and lemon juice.


The name of this sweet treat means nightingale’s nest, referring to its visual appearance. It is recommended to serve bülbül yuvası with a cup of coffee or a glass of Turkish tea.
