About Hakiki Newtown

This Enmore Road parlour dishes up authentic Maraş dondurma—dense, chewy Turkish ice cream engineered to stretch rather than dissolve into a puddle. Scoops like melon and feta or caramelized fig hold up at an easy, unhurried pace. Night owls drop in after dinner for the Hakiki slice: stretchy ice cream packed inside house-made flaky baklava, served alongside cups of hot Turkish coffee.

  • Chewy, slow-melting texture: Dense, chewy Maraş dondurma stretches on the spoon and melts far slower than conventional gelato.
  • Signature Hakiki slice: Stretchy ice cream comes pressed between layers of house-made, syrupy flaky baklava.
  • Regional flavours and coffee: Balancing tart melon with feta, Turkish delight, and fig alongside house-brewed Turkish coffee.

Why Choose Hakiki Newtown

From slow-melting Maraş dondurma to house-baked baklava and warm Turkish hospitality on Enmore Road.

  • Signature Slow-Melting Maraş Texture

    Traditional Maraş dondurma is prepared with a signature dense, chewy consistency that resists melting, letting guests savour each scoop unhurriedly.

    I loved that it melts a lot slower than regular italian gelatos so I didn't have to rush it.

  • Authentic Mediterranean and Regional Flavours

    Hakiki crafts unique regional flavours rarely seen in standard parlours, spanning sweet-savoury melon and feta to aromatic rosewater and Turkish coffee.

    from the flavours that you don't find at other stores, to the different textural feel in your mouth. It is so unique.

  • Signature Baklava Dondurma Sandwiches

    The signature Hakiki slice nests chewy dondurma directly inside house-made flaky baklava for an intentional contrast of crisp pastry and slow-melting cream.

    the texture has a certain chewiness and bite to it that actually makes it the perfect texture to have in a pastry.

  • Fresh Traditional Künefe and Syrupy Pastries

    Beyond scoops, Hakiki bakes authentic regional specialties including rich, syrupy baklava and warm, gooey künefe paired with freshly brewed coffee or tea.

    The künefe came with a dollop of cream and had that satisfying contrast of crunchy shredded pastry and gooey filling.

    The baklava was divine — fresh, perfectly sweet, and the ideal match with the ice cream.

Beyond the menu

Memorable details and hospitality touches that elevate a dessert stop on Enmore Road

  • Slow-Melting Maraş Texture

    Dondurma is prepared with a distinctive Maraş chewiness that resists melting quickly, allowing patrons to converse and take their time without scoops turning into liquid.

  • Baklava Ice Cream Sandwiches

    Chewy dondurma is pressed between layers of house-made, syrupy pastry into a portable Hakiki slice designed to be bitten like a sandwich.

  • Patient Flavour Exploration

    Counter staff offer unhurried tastings across unique regional options—from Melon & Feta to Cacao—helping newcomers navigate bold flavour profiles.

    Traditional hot Turkish coffee and brewed çay are served alongside pastry and ice cream portions to provide a balanced, digestive finish.

Before you head over

Practical advice for visiting Hakiki on Enmore Road

  • Sample Unique Flavours First

    The shop has a compact interior and gets bustling during peak evening dessert runs, but staff patiently offer tastings across unique varieties before you pick your scoops.

  • Pair with Hot Turkish Brews

    Unlike fast-melting Italian gelato, traditional Maraş dondurma is dense and slow to melt, making it ideal to sit and enjoy alongside freshly brewed Turkish coffee or tea.

  • Plan Around Compact Seating

    Indoor seating is cosy and outdoor seating is minimal, making it best suited for casual post-dinner drop-ins or takeaway strolls along Enmore Road.
