Hoş geldiniz
Hos geldiniz in turkish literally translated means " Your arrival is lovely".
And this is so true for the arrival of this wonderful Turkish bakery and cafe GULNAR.
Tucked away in a small corner off Prince Sultan street after Heraa street, this place is a wonderful small world in itself. Right from the beautiful signboard to the beautiful wooden doors, the place screams out Turkish in all ways possible.
I have been to this cafe around 4 times in the past 6 months or so. And every time I come out smiling. The place is cozy, the service friendly and the food fresh and delicious. I have a thing for freshly baked goods. Before you slap the not so healthy literature about bread, let me warn you, I wont listen. Even if i do, the next time i pass by Gulnar and the smell of freshly baked simit hits my nostrils, all your efforts would have been wasted.
This is one place where the singles section feels much better than the family section. I am not sure if it is the height the section offers, or is it the direct access to the counter preparing the food, something feels just right.
This time around, I went there all alone for lunch on a working day since I was in the neighborhood. For a change had the acma bread with halloumi and a cup of cappuccino instead of the usual turkish coffee.
Do not get fooled by the dark color of the bread. It was not burnt, it was as it was meant to be. Simple, fresh and perfect. This is also one place that serves the salad in perfect proportion to the sandwich.
What caught my fancy was the coffee cup holder, a cute wooden version with a small slot for a spoon and a piece of a wonderful Turkish delight. The Turkish delight was not as good as the previous times, but then that is too minor a glitch to an otherwise perfect meal.
