There are several outlets of Hafiz Mustafa throughout Istanbul, and they all have pretty much the same menu so you don’t have to worry about going to any particular one. The menu is detailed and does list ingredients and descriptions items on offer. However, you may want to go to the display counters and ensure you select the right thing that you want to eat because not all sizes on the menu are indicative of the actual size of the dish. We ordered some sort of a baklava pistachio cake thinking that we had selected a single piece of a fancy baklava - so we were really surprised when a mountain of lava was placed on the tables in front of us😂 it tasted really good and had the Turkish dondurma ice cream in it as well. Overall, the serving sizes of their puddings as well as cake slices are really huge. Actual baklava pieces are much smaller and their sizes are more in line with baklava you might find elsewhere. Ambience is nice. There is plenty of seating although no air-conditioning in this particular location. The staff was very polite, but not fluent in English. We drank some great Turkish tea here along with the sweetmeats.

We got here so i can taste the legendary local cuisine turkish can offer. At first sight i was mesmerized with the delightful sweet cake and decor this place have to offer. From outside look like ordinary dungeons but inside so warmth and giving good mood. We sat down inside and order tea and some sweet for me, the waiter is very friendly and accommodating alright the place is packed of people when we come they treat us good, i even able communicate to ask whether or not I can charge my phone due the batterry almost finished. The waiter informed me that i can go to cashier to put my phone there and charge for free. İ was so happy cause my power bank is in the bag in car parked quite far from this place. İ can't speak turkish well, but i understand few words. When i got to the cashier I'm asking the cashier if possible to help to charge my phone, this man say it's not possible his gesture answering my question were so rude from his face, body language and tone voice i was so offended by his action i go back to my table. İ don't enjoy any of food and drink serve. Later after some time the waiters come back clean our table and pick up nee order he ask did i charge my phone already I'm saying i reply it's can't be done. Then i found out that i have to bring my own cable to charge. But again this man action answering or even treating me was very rude. İ took his picture while his in cashier, i take his picture openly and he was trying avoid my camera. İf I'm not with friend and family i definitely cinfirnt the manager and convey my disappoinment for this man behavior toward a guest. Anyway it's will be my first and last time come here.

So many kinds of scrumptious authentic turkish sweets,chocolates, drinks available here. Every single delight was immensely mouth watering. Hafiz mustafa is very popular amongst the tourists and the locals and it is very clean and well maintained inspite of being overly crowded all of the time and the staff is very friendly and professional. A bit pricey in comparison to the original prices of the products but that is to be expected if you include the import costs and the quality of the food. The chefs were making fresh sweets infront of everyone and left our jaw dropped at their great artistic skills. I have had Kunafeh which means nest in arabic, in Saudia Arabia and I had fallen in love with it right at that moment, the kadayef which is vermicelli, was filled with milk custard, then i came to know that Kunafeh is actually made with cheese and its a turkisb delight so I was longing to try the authentic cheesy Kunafeh and after the wait of almost 5 years I tried it at Hafiz Kunafeh and i was not disappointed. It's must-go place and totally recommended !!

Walking straight in, we all felt such an amazing vibe. Every single employee we passed greeted us so nicely & were soo welcoming. They were all very nice & gave us an amazing experience from start to finish! Sunay & Ridvon (pictured in image) were looking after us for the evening, they were soo attentive & friendly. We had children with us and we were quite a big group, they ensured we were always okay. They were super sweet to the children too making there experience just as joyful. It was honestly one of the highlights of our trip to istanbul & we would all recommend 100%. As you can see one of the kids had soo much fun, they fell asleep! and then the food was just mouthwatering! The baklava was absolutely insaneeee, its a shame they do not have brunches in London. We also got some treats to bring back with us and Ayhan served us for that & he was super sweet & recommended the best baklava! The Kunafe was also another favourite! Would 1000000% recommend this place!

Where else do you experience the most authentic Turkish delights and coffee? Hafiz Mustaffa of course‼️ The workers were super warm, jovial and friendly even before we walked-in. Must be all that sugar rush which keeps their energy level at a maximum till it closes at 2am😂 Loved the acceletic ambience. The rows and rows of dessert will have your mouth watering. We came in after a nice walk from the Spice Bazaar. Nearing past 11pm and still so many people. Locals and tourist alike. Can’t miss it since its located across from Hagia Sophie. Plenty of boutique hotels nearby should you choose your next stay. Lovely, lovely neighbourhood. Will definitely consider staying in this old city next Istanbul visit. There’s an authentic public bath nearby too😂

I spent five days in Istanbul, and Hafiz Mustafa was a fantastic discovery. Historic pastry shop where you can sample and taste the many Turkish delights. Any dessert, from baklava to the tasting plate with all the various delights are fantastic, traditional, tasty and smell of Turkey. Without forgetting the tea served in the glass or in the carafe with filter, or the Turkish coffee. I have been to various shops including the one in Galata, Üsküdar but mostly the one in Sultanahmet where I was served and welcomed very well by the various waiters. An heartfelt thank you goes to Ömer, Melike, Baris (Sultanahmet staff) and the others whose names unfortunately I don't remember. I'm the guy in the green hat
