Katmerci Zekeriya Usta throws katmer dough over a marble counter in Gaziantep, then bakes it with kaymak and pistachio in a stone oven at the back.
TryFıstıklı katmer
TipKatmer is a breakfast pastry here, not a dessert. Come before ten for the freshest batch.
Metanet Katmer opens at five in the morning beside the Gaziantep grain market, feeding the same crowd that has just eaten beyran across the road.
TryKatmer
TipOrder the simit katmer if the classic sells out. It is the same dough with sesame on top.
Yusuf Ziya rolls burma kadayıf around crushed Antep pistachio in a Gaziantep han on Suburcu Caddesi and sells almost nothing else from the window.
TryFıstıklı burma kadayıf
TipBuy a small box rather than a tray. The syrup sets hard within a day.
Üçler Kebap Lahmacun bakes Antep-style lahmacun on Zübeyde Hanım Bulvarı, thinner and hotter with isot than the versions sold in Urfa further east.
TryAntep usulü lahmacun
TipTwo pieces per person is normal. Roll them around parsley and eat them straight from the paper.
Özcanlar Pide & Lahmacun Fırını fires pide and sfiha in a stone oven in Kayaönü, a working Gaziantep bakery rather than a stop built for visitors.
TryKıymalı pide
TipSfiha is the smaller open-topped version. Order a mix and eat them in the order they arrive.

TrySimit
TipOrder the katmer alongside the simit if you want the local breakfast in one sitting.
