Bebek Baklava

Walk into Bebek Baklava and you're immediately hit with the smell of butter, pistachios and cardamom—the good stuff. This isn't some mass-produced operation; it's a proper Turkish spot where they take their baklava seriously, layering filo and nuts with actual care. The Kingsland High Street stretch has become proper food destination territory over the last few years, and this place fits right in alongside all the Turkish and Middle Eastern places that have made Dalston what it is. You'll find traditional baklava varieties here alongside proper Turkish meze and savouries that actually taste like someone's nan made them in the kitchen.
