This is the cutest cafe if Basaksehir. The Karak tastes amazing and the guy working inside is very very welcoming and super generous! he offered us a whole cup to taste and refused to take money for it because we were new customers. This is now my favorite place for Karak, try it!

Loved my visit to this café! The Karak was absolutely perfect—rich, flavorful, and just the right amount of spice. I also tried the Dates Maamoul, and it was delicious, soft, and fresh. What made the experience even better was the staff, so friendly, welcoming, and helpful.
