Meet the gastronomic wonder, baklava, that will take your taste buds straight to the heart of Gaziantep. The secret to its unique flavor lies in the use of special hard wheat flour and baking each tray in a stone oven with wood fire until it turns golden brown. But that's not all, every ingredient used in our baklava is carefully selected from the region. Different regional ingredients are filled between the thin phyllo dough layers.
The exact origin story of baklava is a topic of debate, but the Güllüoğlu family claims that their ancestor Hacı Mehmed Güllü tasted it for the first time during his pilgrimage to Mecca. He learned the recipe and introduced it to Gaziantep six months later. Baklava's popularity spread to Istanbul and palace chefs started serving it as a special treat to the Janissaries during Ramadan. Before going on a campaign, soldiers were served with plenty of rice, lamb stew, and saffron pudding, while baklava became the preferred dessert after iftar during Ramadan.
