Hakiki Turkish Ice Cream - Newtown

If you haven't tried Turkish ice cream, now is your chance! Delicious and as promised, very thick and couldn't melt! Probably one of the few best non gelato ice cream places in Sydney! Haven't tried the coffee, tea or baklava, but shall be back!

The perfect post uni treat. Hakiki icecream has that bubblegum texture and distinct taste that you won't find at your average icecream parlour.  Must try: the melon and feta icecream

What a great vibe Hakiki has. It's almost like a night spot that you could sit at for a long time. The displays are stunning. I was interested to try Turkish ice cream. The noticeable difference is that it has a more sticky consistency but yet is so creamy. I went for the Strawberries and Cream. The ribbon of strawberry that ran through it was so refreshing. I did try the Turkish Delight flavour also and it was so authentic and not a super sweetened version. I would love to come back to try the baklava because it looks incredible!

Totally just dug into the icecream without taking photos - oops :P Tried this place for the first time after watching a show at Enmore Theatre. The place was packkked!! I can see why though, there were heaps of awesome and different flavours. We got the Strawberries and Cream and Baklava scoops for $7, good value considering one flavour is $5! The former tasted amazing but while I enjoyed the latter, I personally didn't like it as much. Wanted to try their Turkish Delight ($1?!) but totally forgot by the time we picked our icecream flavours hahah... next time!

Haikiki is a popular ice cream parlour which offers classic Turkish ice cream or Dondurma, Baklava and an assortment of Turkish delights. Turkish ice-cream differs from the typical Italian gelato in its thick and elastic texture. Hence, it does not melt easily and dirty your hands (Oh great!!) I tried their version of pistachio and burnt caramel and they tasted thick and creamy. Hakiki is a worthy alternative to the nearby Cow & the Moon, Gelato Blue and Messina. I will go back for their Turkish Delights and Baklava flavours ???????? Enmore is my favourite place for ethnic and artisan food because they rarely disappoint (Look at my ratings and the spot ons!). And Enmore/Newtown is fast becoming the dessert paradise in Sydney ????????
