"I saved the best for last: the desserts! The Turkish cuisine has many amazing (and sometimes extremely) sweet treats, think kadayif (a thin noodle-like pastry with sugar syrup, walnuts or pistachios). Many of the desserts go well with a cup of çay (black tea) or kahvesi (Turkish coffee). Hafiz Mustafa is the best place to try this mouth-watering sweet."

"Bearing a resemblance to Künefe, Kadayif does not have cheese and is eaten cold. Shredded wheat is pressed out in sheets and then rolled around a center of nuts, often pistachio or walnuts. The nut rolls are then covered with sugar syrup and eaten at room temperature. Try kadayif at Hafiz Mustafa."
