hafız mustafa 1864

hafiz mustafa would be my favorite desserts place in turkey!
it serves by far the bestsweetswith the richest and greatest taste.

there are several branches of hafiz mustafa all over istanbul so it’s convenient to find one near.

the knefeh and puddings at this place taste amazing! we ordered the rice, chocolate and pistachio puddings which are heavenly great.

the staff are friendly and professional, the service is fast too.

price value is great for the high quality dessert you’re eating. you can easily give this place 5 stars.

i’hv heard alot about it before visitng turkey. it was worth though hearing its really amazingsweetsshop. they have soo many varieties ofsweetsbut they are famous for there baklava’s. they were so luscious. one should must try it if visitng turkey. definitely recommend.

one of the best knefeh i ever had. just perfect!
also tried the halkoum and turkish baklava and it's so delicious.
being a lebanese we do share commonsweetsbut i have to say this place is one of the top regionally.

nice place .fast service .reasonable prices .we tried some turkishsweetsand they were yummy.turkish tea was good.
مكان جميل والخدمة سريعه رغم الاكتظاظ .الاسعار معقولة .طلبنا حلويات تركية وكانت جميعها لذيذه .وطلبنا شاي تركي كان جيدا.

the bestsweetsin town, i have tried many branches and all are prefect. and not so expensive. this kunafa is the most famous among all. a must try

the yummiestsweetsplace ever! 

their cakes, knefeh,... are yummy. 
their pomegranate juice is good as well.
their prices are good compared to the big portions they provide.
 the service is very fast and the staff is friendly as well. 
the place is always crowded all day everyday!

highly highly recommended!

theee best sweet shop in istanbul and i m not surprised by the high ratings here on zomato. we tried the baklavas, puddings and their turkish tea. we also later packed 500gms of their assorted baklavas.
i must add what made my experience special was not just thesweetsbut the impeccable service. they were so much fun when they saw that we were with my 1 year old kid. the waitress infact took our child and entertained her and also gave her a candy free of cost. other staff members too were playing and giggling with my child. she had so much fun that day and we were truly touched by the way they looked after our daughter. this r the kind of experiences one likes to have as a tourist and am glad hafiz mustafa more than lived upto our expectations. this place just cant be missed when you are in istanbul!!!

when it comes to turkishsweetsthis establishment is one of the best out there. it defied the time as it's been in the business since the 19th century. authentic, fresh and generous. all the produced  goodies are super tasty. recently i received a box of baklava mixed selection from of a friend who was in istanbul. soooo yummmyyyy.

i have a sweet tooth. means that istanbul city for me is asweetsheaven and im also very picky, so hafiz mustafa hakki zade is the best of the best, in all their locations you get a great atmospher amazingsweetslots of choice well trained staff. i have so much respect for this family business!

one of the biggest, famous, known and clean place to have a real turkishsweetswhile you are in turkey .... we tried baklava which was perfect .... their kunafa is the best comparing to many places in istanbul .... kunafa is not greasy at all ... cheese is light and very soft and melting in the mouth .... one of the places that you must try when you go to istanbul

hafiz mustafa is located right at the centre of taksim square.it’s bang opposite the famous istiklal street. hafiz mustafa has seating inside as well as a few tables outside. the ambience is modern and has an airy feel. they serve food,tea,coffee,deserts and have a sweet section all in one place.i purchased their baklava which was very fresh & the hazelnut halwa which was soft and had lot of pieces of hazelnuts on it. they have over 50 different types of halwa,turkish delights & baklava’s. the service was a bit slow as there were lot of people who were purchasingsweetsat the same time (as shown in the pictures). hafiz mustafa pricing for theirsweetsare on a higher side when compared to its rivals in istanbul,turkey. but hafiz mustafa will guarantee you the best qualitysweetswhen compared to any other shop in istanbul. hands down
if you ever want to buysweetslike baklava,halwas or turkish delight from istanbul,look no further than purchasing it from any of hafiz mustafa’s 3 stores in istanbul.
specially recommend hafiz mustafa to international tourists looking to take some boxes ofsweetsback home.

as for me this is the best turkishsweetsin istanbul
everything is spotless and clean
the kunefeh is the best! even the muhallebiyeh is very nice and fresh
ice cream is not the best
but everything else should be tried
