Yetiş Tatlı — Restaurant in Beyoğlu

Finally! Baklava that is like what we remembered from previous trips! With the recent economic problems in Turkiye, it seems every other place has cut back the butter and increased the sugar syrup. The baklava at Yetis Tatli has that smooth, buttery taste from top to bottom, instead of dry top half and overly sugary bottom. These are a single unit of flavor, instead of three unrelated layers like all the others seem to be now. And the sorbiyet baklava has almost a soft silky pastry noodle texture I hadn't even realized I had been missing until I got it once more. And very friendly folks running the place. We've gone...

You have to visit this cute little shop, with the cute little lady running it. She always has a smile on her face and she is such a happy little person, she makes me smile just looking at her. She is very compassionate and understanding as well even though she doesn’t know much English. She serves with a smile and even though her selection of desserts are limited, they taste great, especially her baklava with the milk and chocolate over the top 😋, very different and tasty. Also loved her kadaif one, was very moist and sweet. Hope to visit again soon as it...

As we were traveling uphill from a busy day of visiting multiple mosques and walking over 20,000 steps, we locked eyes with the owner of the shop.

She immediately gave us a warm smile and invited us in. The pistachio baklava were so sweet and oozed with sugary syrup. The tel kadayif (layers of kadayif noodles baked in an oven with nuts placed in) were so crunchy.

Love it and it provided such a great reprieve to eat these desserts awhile resting on...
