It is beautiful and clean, very noisy, crowded.
Nice staff. Fast service.
Beautiful showcases, a huge assortment of Turkish sweets and ready-made boxes of sweets to buy as a gift.
Everything is sickly sweet and very expensive at prices.
We chose just a little bit on trial in a small box. In terms of rubles, it came out ~2000₽
You can try it once for a change. 😃 No more than…
But I think you can find the same Turkish sweets at more affordable prices in other similar establishments.
The coffee here is simply incredible! I tried traditional Turkish coffee, and it was perfectly prepared — rich, fragrant and with a slight sweetness. The service was at the highest level, the staff is very friendly and helpful, always ready to help with the choice.
Besides coffee, you should definitely try their desserts — they just melt in your mouth!
We are also pleased with the beautiful interior, which creates a real atmosphere of the East. It is an ideal place for both relaxing time alone and meeting with friends.
The famous Hafiz Mustafa 1864 confectionery chain is very popular, so there are always a lot of visitors and of course it's noisy, but if you go up to the upper halls, it's quieter and quieter. I must say that great popularity affects the quality - it has not been so tasty lately, and prices have increased significantly - for two delicious treats and coffee in the photo, about 3tr.
It's a great restaurant. A wide variety of Turkish desserts. I haven't tried anything from food. The service is excellent. Good location. We ordered tea with desserts, and I really liked it too.
As there are a lot of people everywhere. Someone chooses, someone has already chosen and drinks tea with sweets here. You can buy beautiful, bright packages of nuts and sweets as a gift.
We have never tasted better baklava. Fresh, delicious, a large selection. If you want to take it with you, they pack the box in a vacuum. We took the kunef - delicious and a large portion (you can safely take it for two), pistachio sprinkles and sugar syrup are brought separately, so that the sweetness can be adjusted to your liking.
It's beautiful and delicious. I recommend it for those who do not like sweet and moist baklava with syrup.

Here are the best Turkish sweets to bring as a souvenir. It is a great place to visit with children, family, and friends.
Lovely coffee. By the way, there is espresso, which is not at every turn in Istanbul.
Everything is very tasty and not as sickly sweet as oriental sweets are supposed to be.
It is more interesting on the upper floors, but they are not always open. It looks like they open in the evenings.
The most delicious sweets are here)) and if you go up to the top floor, to the terrace, then the view from above of Istiklal will not leave you indifferent))
It is very expensive, and too sweet, cloying, a lot of flavors, which makes the rest of the ingredients completely incomprehensible and inexpressive

There are no cakes, it's better not to take more than 1 piece, you will be disappointed. The cream is cloying, the feeling of nausea is provided. They said that there are nuts inside, and there are peanuts and then- a little.
