From the From the May 2008 Food & Wine Go List
Recently renovated in faux-Ottoman style, this perpetually crowded shop close to the Galata Bridge is the source of Istanbul's flakiest <em>böreks</em>, savory pastries filled with spinach, cheese or meat. Its principal claim to fame, however, is the pistachio baklava, made from paper-thin <em>yufka</em> dough.
We loved: , a kind of Turkish lasagna.
Insider tip: Get your to go and eat them at the nearby Karaköy docks, overlooking the beautiful mosques across the Golden Horn.
