About Baklavacı Hacıbaba Necatibey

Baklavacı Hacıbaba's shop on Necatibey Caddesi in Sıhhiye is the dessert counter of one of Ankara's long-established baklava houses. The company lists it as Hacıbaba Tatlı, a sweet shop rather than a full restaurant, and it sits at street level close to the Sıhhiye metro stop. According to the family's own history, they have made baklava for three generations, starting out in Gaziantep, the home of the pastry. In 1949 they began selling baklava to Ankara from a shop on Denizciler Caddesi, later serving customers from the arcade opposite the old Grand National Assembly building and then on Necatibey Caddesi, the street this shop still stands on. The counter is about baklava and related sweets: the brand's range covers many kinds of baklava, kadayıf desserts, börek, trays for sharing and gift boxes, along with regional specialities. Recent posts from the brand also promote a cold baklava made with plenty of pistachio and chocolate. Practical notes: the brand runs several other Ankara branches, including its restaurant and main shop on Mevlana Bulvarı in Balgat. Hacıbaba also takes orders online, and Ankara orders placed by 15:00 are delivered the same day except on Sundays. Opening hours are not published on the brand's own pages, so check by phone before making a special trip.
