Baklava Shops (Güllüoğlu & Koçak)
Gaziantep Baklavacıları
Eat freshly baked pistachio baklava at its birthplace; Güllüoğlu and Koçak are well-known local shops.
Gaziantep's pistachio baklava holds EU Protected Geographical Indication status, with layers of flaky pastry and plenty of local pistachios. The Güllüoğlu family has run its business since 1871, with several shops in the city centre. Koçak and others are also recommended by locals. In the morning, try hot baklava served with ice cream, or a kaymak-filled pastry. It is sold by weight, and vacuum-sealed packs can be bought to take home. The location listed is the Güllüoğlu downtown shop.
