Koçak Baklava ★ 4.8

sehitkamil · Mücahitler, Abdulkadir Behçet Cd. No: 44, 27090 Şehitkamil/Gaziantep

Hours: Mon-Sat 07:00-23:00; Sun 08:00-23:00

Koçak Baklava is the baklava counter most of Gaziantep names first, a bright Şehitkamil salon selling şöbiyet, dolama and midye by the kilo.

Tip: Buy by weight and eat it the same day. Antep baklava is built for hours, not for keeping.

İmam Çağdaş ★ 4.8

sahinbey · Şekeroğlu Mahallesi, Uzun Çarşı Caddesi No:49, 27010 Şahinbey/Gaziantep

Hours: Daily 08:00-22:00

İmam Çağdaş rolls its own baklava beside the kebab grill on Uzun Çarşı, and the havuç dilimi wedge is the one Gaziantep queues at the counter for it.

Tip: The takeaway counter is separate from the restaurant. Use the street door if you only want a box.

Katmerci Zekeriya Usta ★ 4.7

sahinbey · Çukur, Bay Hilmi Gç. No:16/C-D, 27010 Şahinbey/Gaziantep

Hours: Daily 06:30-19:00

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.

Çelebioğulları Baklava ★ 4.4

sehitkamil · İncili Pınar Mahallesi, Gazi Muhtar Paşa Blv. No:25 D:C, 27090 Şehitkamil/Gaziantep

Hours: Daily 07:00-24:00

Çelebioğulları Baklava runs a large Gaziantep salon on Gazi Muhtar Paşa and is one of the few local names making vegan and gluten-free trays.

Tip: The special-diet trays are made in a separate line and usually need ordering ahead.

Yusuf Ziya Fıstıklı Burma Kadayıfları ★ 4.3

sahinbey · Düğmeci, Suburcu Cd. Şehir İş Hanı 2/B, 27400 Şahinbey/Gaziantep

Hours: Mon-Sat 08:00-21:00; Sun 08:00-19:00

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.

Beyoğlu Katmercim ★ 4.3

sahinbey · Suyabatmaz Mahallesi, Kozluca Caddesi No:6, Şahinbey/Gaziantep

Hours: Daily 06:00-19:00

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.

Orkide Pastanesi ★ 4.3

sehitkamil · Değirmiçem, Gazi Muhtar Paşa Blv. No:17, 27090 Şehitkamil/Gaziantep

Hours: Daily 07:00-23:00

Orkide Pastanesi is the modern counterpoint to the Gaziantep baklava houses, a patisserie doing chocolates, cakes and a katmer with ice cream.

Tip: The ice-cream katmer is a modern reworking. Try the classic version elsewhere first.

Gaziantep Ayıntap Baklava ★ 4.2

sehitkamil · İncilipınar Mah. Gazi Muhtar Paşa Bulvarı No:28, Şehitkamil/Gaziantep

Hours: Daily 08:00-22:00

Gaziantep Ayıntap Baklava keeps an air-conditioned salon on Gazi Muhtar Paşa Bulvarı where you can sit with tea and a plate rather than a box.

Tip: Sitting in costs no more than taking away. Order a small plate and a glass of tea.

Metanet Katmer ★ 4.2

sahinbey · Suyabatmaz, Kozluca Cd. 10/A, 27400 Şahinbey/Gaziantep

Hours: Daily 05:00-21:00

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.

Antepsan Baklava ★ 4.0

sehitkamil · İncili Pınar, Gazi Muhtar Paşa Blv. 39/A, 27100 Şehitkamil/Gaziantep

Hours: Daily 08:00-23:30

Antepsan Baklava sits opposite Sanko University in Gaziantep and also holds the airport counter, so it is the last box before a flight home.

Tip: Open until late evening. Handy if you land after the old-city counters have shut.
