Karaköy Güllüoğlu
The first Istanbul branch of a Karaköy Güllüoğlu founded in Gaziantep in the 1820s, this much-loved baklavac (baklava shop) debuted in 1949. Although there are several Güllüolu offshoots around town, this is the best. Pay at the register for a porsiyon (portion) of whatever you like, then order at the counters.
The most popular baklava flavors are fstkl (pistachio) and cevizli (walnut), however a karşk (mixed) porsiyon can also be ordered. On the side, many regulars purchase kaymak (clotted cream, $5). A cup of tea will help to balance out the sweetness. Su börei (lasagne-like layered pastry with white cheese and parsley) is excellent here. o.
