"We had Turkish tea and coffee and a few of their desserts, rice-pudding and local specialties (yup, once we find a place like this, we make sure we come back to try the whole menu!). Just thinking about it makes my mouth water. If you ever find yourself in Istanbul you should totally visit Hafiz Mustafa (they will even let you try a few of their delicious concoctions)."

"For desserts, Hafiz Mustafa is the most popular food chain which is open 24 hours. Our recommendation: Baked Rice Pudding."

"Where to begin? I know! Go to Hafiz Mustafa Sekerlemeleri and taste everything, think Sütlaç or rice pudding. There are sweet shops all over the city but if you want to go to Hafiz Mustafa (as we did every night) it has three locations. We went to the one at Hamidiye Cadessi 84-86, where it has been since 1864."

"I saved the best for last: the desserts! The Turkish cuisine has many amazing (and sometimes extremely) sweet treats, think sütlaç (rice pudding). 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."

Andrea Mieux

"One of my favorite places for dessert is Hafiz Mustafa. My favorites are the puddings, particularly the profiterole, sütlaç. Sütlaç, simply described, is rice pudding. Usually served cold, here it's milkier than rice pudding in the States and goes beautifully with a cup of Turkish tea."

"My mum ordered a baked rice pudding, which was a tasty rice pudding with an interesting twist. The baked top added some texture and a burnt-in-a-good-way flavor much like roasted marshmallows."
