    Different types of rice pudding and other desserts are placed in the display window saying, 'Come and take me!' to all the people passing the shop on the busy main street. Not kidding, you'll totally agree with the above description if you pass by. Apart from serving desserts, Saray also serves cooked food like kebap and soup. I've visited Saray twice during my three days in istanbul. The first time I tried asure (Noah's Ark pudding made of over 40 ingredients) and kazandibi (caramelized pudding) while the second time I tried a baked rice pudding and a cherry rice pudding. They were sooooo delicious!!! Price per dessert: around 2 Million Turkish Lira

    I liked Saray's baked rice pudding (fIrIn sutlac) and cherry rice pudding the most. The sweetness was just right!

    If you are looking for delicious Turkish desserts while Istanbul, this is one of the best places to go! Saray Muhallebicisi, which translated means "Rosewater Pudding Palace", is named after a popular treat enjoyed during Ottoman times. They have been in business since 1935, and now have several locations within Istanbul. Saray does in fact have a great, and quite extensive menu, including an excellent kofte meatball dish. But what they are renowned for are their pastries, and they are indeed mouthwatering! Ekmek Kadayifi, Tulumba, and of course, Baklava are some of their specialties, and my favorites. All of them are very sweet, with syrup poured on top - just enough sugar to give you a rush before you leave! :) Saray is definately a must for any person with a sweet-tooth!

    Mainly known for its desserts,Saray Muhallebicisi founded in 1935 also does a cheap breakfast and some good local dinners. My wife and i visited the recently opened branch in Catalcesme(Bostanci) one of 11,this one on the Asian side. Get there early as its busy even on a cool wet Sunday. Click on Urunler on their web site and look at what's on offer,on the menu. Breakfast plate was only 6.25 Ytl. Most desserts are about 4 Ytl.

    So much is good you can't just pick 1.

    Saray has proven its success in desserts with years of experience. The specialties are based on milk with different ingredients added. They also serve other types of desserts as well as some dishes. Some examples for dessert addicts : "Tavukgogsu" is the type which contains some chicken breast inside and it is served with cinnemon topping. "Krem Sokola" is the pudding with chocolate served with cocnut and pistacchio topping. "Kazandibi" is prepared from the remaining pudding in bottom part of the tanks where they boil, the top is burnt and makes it more delicious. "Keskul" contains almond inside and served with cocnut and pistacchio topping. You can also ask an additional ice cream topping over the pudding which will make it irresistable.

    Saray (with several locations in Istanbul) serves up great meals but most importantly lovely pastries, sinfully swimming in syrup! Nice place to take a break. They also accept credit cards. In addition they do take away.
