Tip: Order onion, parsley and sumac alongside. Locals eat liver with all three, never on its own.
Address: Çukur Mah. Bayramoğlu Sok. No:1/B Şahinbey, 27400 Gaziantep
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.
Try: Fıstıklı katmer
Tip: Katmer 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.
Try: Katmer
Tip: Order 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.
Try: Fıstıklı burma kadayıf
Tip: Buy 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.
Try: Antep usulü lahmacun
Tip: Two 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.
Try: Kıymalı pide
Tip: Sfiha is the smaller open-topped version. Order a mix and eat them in the order they arrive.

Akşam Simit bakes sesame simit and morning pastries in İbrahimli, and unlike most Gaziantep simit counters it sits you down with a full teapot.
Try: Simit
Tip: Order the katmer alongside the simit if you want the local breakfast in one sitting.
