Gaziantep baklavası
Recommended by Elizabeth Field and 7 other food critics.
"I bit into the baklava, and the sensation was immediately fragrant from the pistachios, then buttery, then crunchy and finally intensely sweet, but not cloying. The explosion of thin, flaky layers shattering amid the sweet syrup went straight to my brain."

"Koçak Baklava is a rather fancy spot that serves up some of the best and one order of baklava from Koçak will have you hooked for life. In fact, many people swear by Koçak over other places like it in the city. The baklavas at Koçak are largely known for their distinctly buttery taste. They come in many different shapes, sizes, and varieties."
"I think the best baklava in Turkey, not only in Gaziantep is Koçak. I think they found the golden ratio of baklava. They use the first quality pistachios in their products. For ordering or gifting, baklava and special square baklava must be your first choice."

"After döner, you should get your daily (or twice daily) dose of baklava at what is considered the best baklava spot in Gaziantep, and without any exaggeration, in the world–Koçak. When you’re there, take time to take in all the different types of baklava they have on offer. Order a bunch of different types, sit down with some tea, and sample them all."
"Locals may argue over which Baklava Salon is THE BEST, but an usual favorite is Koçak. I also, having been to Gaziantep several times, firmly believe that Koçak is in fact THE BEST."
"Koçak baklava leaves a taste in your mouth with its unique flavor, that you can't forget until the end of your life. We can say that it is the most delicious baklava in the world of baklava."
"Koçak Baklava is one of the flavor points with superb baklawa that you certainly have to visit."
"Fluffy pastry filled with crushed pistachios and kissed with honey is quite possibly one of the finest indulgences in life."

"Baklava at Koçak combines the best quality ingredients with top class mastery"
"The best Baklava I have ever had in the world. I realized it is the best in Turkey while I was working in Gaziantep, as my colleagues in Ankara would ask me to buy this particular brand. Heavenly taste and sensation, and I'm looking forward to travel back to Gaziantep, just to taste their Baklava again."
