İmamoğlu Baklava is a small shop on Eski Saray Caddesi in Gaziantep where the trays are cut thin and the prices sit below the more famous names.
Tip: The shop is one small room with no seating. Buy a quarter kilo and eat it walking back.
Worth the queue: Burma kadayıf
Yusuf Ziya makes burma kadayıf and almost nothing else in a Gaziantep han on Suburcu Caddesi, rolling the pastry around crushed Antep pistachio.
Tip: Midday is when the trays are warmest. Later in the day the syrup has set firm.
Worth the queue: Fıstıklı burma kadayıf
Katmerci Zekeriya Usta stretches katmer dough to transparency and bakes it in a stone oven, the Gaziantep breakfast pastry in its canonical form.
Tip: Watch the dough being thrown before you sit. The counter opens at eight and the queue builds fast.
Worth the queue: Fıstıklı katmer
Metanet Katmer opens at five in the morning on Kozluca Caddesi in Gaziantep, pairing clotted cream and Antep pistachio inside paper-thin dough.
Tip: The five o'clock start suits anyone eating beyran across the street first.
Worth the queue: Simit katmer
Beyoğlu Katmercim works its dough in front of the counter on Kozluca Caddesi, and the Gaziantep katmer here arrives loaded with kaymak and pistachio.
Tip: Ask for a corner table so the katmer reaches you while it is still hot.
Worth the queue: Kaymaklı katmer
Katmerci Murat is a family katmer shop on Atatürk Bulvarı in Gaziantep, cheaper than the famous names and generous with the pistachio filling.
Tip: The şam tatlısı is worth adding if you are ordering for more than two.
Worth the queue: Fıstıklı katmer
