Erçelebi Kömürde Kadayıf finishes every kadayıf over charcoal in Sarıgüllük, a Gaziantep dessert room that keeps serving until one in the morning.
OrderCharcoal kadayıf, fired to order rather than reheated.
TipNothing sits ready on a tray here. Expect a ten-minute wait while the kadayıf goes over the coals.
Dayının Yeri makes billuriye and kadayıf to order in Değirmiçem, one of the few Gaziantep counters that still lists the crystalline pastry at all.
OrderBilluriye, the crystalline pastry Gaziantep rarely exports.
TipClosed Sundays. Nothing is pre-made, so allow time if you arrive with a group.

Mösyö Cafe & Restaurant sits beside Kavaklık Park in Gaziantep and runs breakfast, gözleme and live music from early morning through to midnight.
OrderGözleme with cheese, cooked on the griddle to order.

OrderPizza or brisket, depending on how much kebab you have eaten.
