Mini Dondurma
A rare case of a 58-year-old Istanbul ice-cream shop that has deliberately stayed a single tiny location rather than franchising, with two flavours no other source reports finding anywhere else in the city.
What to order
Gül lokumlu (rose Turkish-delight) dondurma, named by both opened press sources as the shop's signature.
