Künefe Han bakes cheese pastry until two in the morning in Şehitkamil, and Gaziantep treats a late künefe as a second dinner rather than dessert.
Try: Künefe
Tip: One tray between two. Order it at the table so the cheese is still stretching.

Cumba Künefe runs until two in the morning on Ali Nadi Ünler Bulvarı, serving the oversized Gaziantep künefe trays that families share after dinner.
Try: Künefe with pistachio
Tip: Add the ice cream rather than ordering a second tray. The portions are already large.

Erçelebi Kömürde Kadayıf fires kadayıf over charcoal until one in the morning in Sarıgüllük, so nothing here has been sitting on a tray for hours.
Try: Charcoal kadayıf
Tip: Expect a ten-minute wait. Nothing is pre-made, which is the reason to come.

Çelebioğulları Baklava keeps its Gazi Muhtar Paşa salon open to midnight, so a late Gaziantep baklava run does not depend on the bazaar counters.
Try: Baklava and şöbiyet
Tip: The salon has proper seating. Order a mixed plate with tea rather than a box to go.

Gece Gündüz Bistro runs fasıl bands and a cook-your-own grill until one in the morning, the busiest late licensed room in central Gaziantep.
Try: Meze and ocakbaşı grill
Tip: Book the ocakbaşı tables in advance. They are the only ones where you grill your own.

Bayazhan keeps its caravanserai meyhane in Gaziantep running to midnight with live fasıl, rakı and a küşleme allocation that sells out early.
Try: Küşleme and meze
Tip: Reserve the küşleme when you book. After ten o'clock the grill is usually out of it.
