Şıllık & Künefe Tatlıcısı

About the Venue

Offering the finest examples of şıllık — Şanlıurfa's distinctive dessert — this spot is a living representative of the regional sweet culture. Coming after spicy çiğ köfte and kebab, these syrupy sweets are the indispensable finale of an Urfa table. Şıllık is a soft, aromatic traditional dessert made by placing walnut between thin crêpe-like layers, folding them and soaking them in syrup. Alongside it, the hot künefe made with kaytaz cheese and plenty of shredded kadayıf delights the palate with its stringy texture and crispness. Served warm, these regional sweets, with a glass of mırra or a Turkish coffee, best reflect the sweet face of Şanlıurfa's rich flavour culture.
