PROBABLY THE BEST KUNEFE IN ISTANBUL | TATLICI SAFA

Показать описание

Künefe is a popular Turkish dessert that is well-loved for its unique combination of textures and flavors. It consists of several layers of shredded or finely spun angel hair-like pastry called kadayıf, which is typically made from wheat. The kadayıf is layered with a soft, stretchy cheese, traditionally called "tel peynir" or "hatay peyniri." The dessert is then baked until golden and crispy. After baking, künefe is generously soaked in a sweet syrup made from sugar, water, and a hint of lemon juice or rosewater. The syrup adds moisture and sweetness to the dessert, creating a harmonious balance with the cheese and pastry. Once the künefe is baked and soaked in syrup, it is often garnished with a sprinkle of ground pistachios and ice cream.

Tatlıcı Safa has a long-standing reputation in Istanbul, with a history that dates back to 1884. It was founded by Safa Usta, who began selling traditional Turkish sweets from a small shop in Istanbul's historical Fatih district. They offer a tempting selection of delicacies such as baklava, Turkish delight (lokum), künefe, şekerpare, revani, and more. These sweets are made using traditional recipes, high-quality ingredients, and artisanal techniques. Over the years, Tatlıcı Safa has expanded its presence in Istanbul and now has several branches across the city.
