AntepHan Baklava & Künefe is a Turkish sweet shop and café at 240 Hertford Road in Enfield Highway. Its name nods to Gaziantep, or Antep, the south-eastern Turkish city most associated with pistachio baklava.

The counter is all about syrup-soaked pastry. There’s classic pistachio and walnut baklava, plus the shaped varieties you’d find in an Antep pastry shop: havuç dilimi, şöbiyet, bülbül yuvası and burma kadayıf. Künefe, the hot cheese-filled kadayıf dessert, is the other speciality, as the name says.

It’s a good stop for picking up a box of baklava before a family visit, or for a sweet treat with tea after dinner on Hertford Road.

What to order at AntepHan Baklava & Künefe

Its delivery menu lists a wide range of baklava and traditional sweets. These are the ones to look for.

• Fıstıklı baklava – classic pistachio baklava, thin layers of pastry and syrup
• Cevizli baklava – the walnut version, a little richer and less sweet
• Havuç dilimi – “carrot slice” baklava, a curved wedge packed with pistachio
• Şöbiyet – triangular baklava with a layer of cream inside
• Bülbül yuvası – “nightingale’s nest”, rolled pastry rings filled with pistachio
• Burma kadayıf – shredded kadayıf pastry twisted around a pistachio filling
• Künefe – hot shredded pastry with melted cheese, soaked in syrup

Atmosphere and good to know

It works both as a takeaway sweet shop and as a place to sit with something sweet. Mixed baklava boxes are on the menu, which makes it handy for gifts, and it’s listed on Just Eat for delivery. Halal status isn’t stated.

It opens at 06:30 every day and stays open until 23:00, so it’s useful early and late. Most of the menu is vegetarian, but if you avoid particular ingredients, ask about the butter and cheese used.
