Hakiki Turkish Ice Cream and Baklava

The Verdict

Ice cream in all its different shapes and forms is taking over Sydney one scoop at a time, and Newtown's Hakiki delivers a chewy, Turkish style ice cream. Made with mastic to give it its chewy, gum-like texture, there are crazy flavour combinations like melon and feta, and tahini and molasses, along with the more traditional rosewater Turkish delight, baklava and a heart thumping Turkish coffee, all of which can be topped off with crushed pistachios and Turkish style fairy floss.

Home made baklava filled with rhubarb, sour cherry or apple, and various flavoured Turkish Delight are all perfectly matched with the delicious Turkish coffee.
