Spend over 20 mins to get a knafeh, it looks very good but the flavor is not there! Very plain! Barely has cheese and the cheese has no flavor what's so ever! The worst knafeh in town. What a waste of 30$ read more

Antepli Baklava 2 - Bakeries Near Me - Paterson, New Jersey

We come here almost every month because this place is my husband's favorite spot -- he's absolutely in love with their künefe! I'm not really a big künefe fan myself, but when I tasted it here, I finally understood why he loves it so much -- it's just perfect! Last month, after dinner, we decided to try künefe somewhere else instead of Antepli Baklava. Big mistake My husband immediately said, "No other künefe can compare to Antepli Baklava's!" The staff are always so kind and polite, and the place itself is clean and beautifully decorated. Their künefe is truly special -- crispy, creamy, and made with love. Highly recommend! read more

They make individual kunafas to order! So fresh and crispy, absolutely love this place! My kids were not a fan of the turkish icecream though :/. read more

Went here for their freshly made Kunefe cheese dessert! Its just gooey, crunchy sweet but not overly sweet yumminess! Very very good! Their baklavas are perfect. Always fresh, they offer pistachios, walnut and hazelnut varieties! A must try. They have bakery items that look great will try next time. Very welcoming staff. My only thing is the steep $30 for the kunefe, but can be shared for about 4 people. Patking whre is a challenge especially on the weekends. read more

Highly recommend the baklavas and freshly made kunefes. The staff are friendly and helpful. The space is clean and without any fluff. Parking is a bit of a challenge since the place is always packed. read more

I usually get Baklava at Taskin bakery which is fairly close, but decided to give this place a shot. In summary, the balakavas are a little smaller and a little cheaper than those at Taskin. Taste wise, I think Taskin has a stronger pistachio taste, whereas the ones here have a stronger syrup taste (I prefer the former). For whatever reason when I brought them home, they were a little on the soggy side and I was underwhelmed. However putting them in the fridge overnight seemed to fix this, as they were firmer the next day. It is located in a strip mall with parking, which is nice, although the lot was fairly busy when I visited. read more

Extremely rude staff. I really don't understand businesses who's purpose is to sell things for money but gets annoyed when I ask questions about different desserts--it's not labeled and I'm not Turkish so how am I supposed to know what the difference is? Should I just order not knowing what's in it? Then they forget the kunefe. When checking out at the counter (because I cannot find a waiter so I can pay) I order a prepackaged small ice cream to go and they give me one where the container is all leaking. I don't want ice cream all over my hands so I ask for a different one and he aggressively throws that container in the garbage can like I asked the most ridiculous thing on the planet. Then, after I pay, I try to email the receipt to myself on the touch screen and he gets annoyed and starts saying stuff that I don't understand, and just closes the receipt screen preventing me from emailing it to myself. Then he proceed to look at me like what are you going to do? To me, that's telling me he doesn't want my money because I don't speak his language. So, I'll go next door next time. Please save me time next time and put a sign on the door that says Turkish people only. read more

Yesterday was my second and last time visiting this restaurant. I was really happy after first visit - I thought I had finally found my go to Turkish breakfast spot. If you asked me then, this place was 5 stars for me because on top of the amazing breakfast they also served cold baklava which is so hard to find here in the states. The reason for 2 stars, which I know is a heavy drop considering my first time experience is for the way we were treated after coming the second time. Let me break it down: My husband and I came around noon to enjoy their breakfast. Our server, who we also had the pleasure of having the first time was there again and let me just say he is absolutely so nice and always attentive. We had no complaints about him as he is always so friendly and provides excellent service. The problem here was that the breakfast changed. The portions were still quite the same but the quality- not so much. One of the two egg dishes were very undercooked and the other (menemen) was so watery and basically 90% tomatoes - we simply could not eat it. After breakfast we left and came back a few hours later because I had wanted to take home some cold baklava. We placed an order though DoorDash for pickup before getting there for faster service. As soon as we get there, we are told their system for DoorDash is not working. Odd, as it should be if they are open for ordering on the app but not an issue - we showed them our order confirmation. They wouldn't accept it and went back and forth with us about it and even told us that if we want the baklava we have to spend money. We were shocked and had to explain we DID spend the money but through DoorDash. My husband simply walked out at the point because they would not accept it. We had to dispute this with DoorDash since we didn't receive our order and then left the establishment. read more

The place is relatively big. It's not beautiful, but it's clean. The food is really amazing. I loved it. The servers are a little bit not friendly and not that helpful but it's fine. The food is really good. read more

This is the place for all authentic Turkish dessert, tea, and coffee. You can't find better ones in NJ. The kunefe is made from scratch on site everyday. It's cooked when you order and you can watch while the cooking is taking place! Order it with or without pistachios, which are imported from Turkey and have more intense flavors. Add the stretchy Turkish ice cream too, a real nice sweet treat. They have many different kinds of baklava and have recently added the cold baklava, a new trend, which is delicious and a must-try! All go well with the Turkish tea and coffee. This place is as good as, if not better than, what you can find in Istanbul. read more

Great breakfast. While so many other places In Paterson offer breakfast, Antelpli is by far the most delicious and generous option. Breakfast tray for two cost $60 but in reality can feed 4 people. It includes bread, simmit, filo dough with cheese, two plates of omelette and big Turkish teapot that is kept warm with a burning candle. Plus the huge tray of variety of breakfast item (all captured in the accompanying photo) . All deliciously prepared and served in a very attractive way. Definitely recommend! read more

Antepli Baklava 2 - 8 pieces - Bakeries Near Me - Paterson, New Jersey

We visited this Turkish dessert place on New Year's Day. Thanks that they were open. It has a nice seating area and big. For my opinion the previous set up like old village seating was a lot authentic. "Şark köşesi" we call. Anyways , The place was pretty empty some people got to go baklava orders. We had the künefe and that was tasty. The counter person was helpful and attentive. We will be back to try other baklava varieties. read more

Antepli Baklava 2 - Künefe - Bakeries Near Me - Paterson, New Jersey

My friend and I selected Antepli to wrap up an ethnic food adventure in Paterson. We're extremely happy that we did! We selected six mini pastries including chocolate baklava, pistachio cylinders, and a dessert with a name that sounds like media. The "media" were my favorite, tender with a bit of a cream filling. All were quite good. We also went with a scoop of the milk and caramel flavor Turkish ice cream. This was a completely new experience, the texture of the ice cream was unlike anything we've had. The milk flavor was our favorite, straightforward and excellent. The highlight of the dessert was the kunefe. It was truly amazing, melted cheese with crispy topping and honey. We also enjoyed Turkish tea and coffee. The staff was friendly and proud of their food. The ambiance was cool, a great place to hang out. Looking forward to a return. read more

"Pay attention management I expected künefe to be around $24-$25, but they charged $30, which felt like a ripoff. The service was terrible--our waiter barely paid attention to us. He never checked in, didn't offer us more tea, and when I asked for a to-go container, he looked visibly upset. They really need to improve their customer service." read more

Antepli Baklava 2 - Really great baklava .. and ice cream and service! - Bakeries Near Me - Paterson, New Jersey

I went here with another person. The woman in front was very nice. Along with some of their green baklava/sarma baklava (the all pistachio version,) I ordered a kunefe. For a bit over half a pound of the latter and a pretty large kunefe, it was 19$ which is pretty cheap for the quality. The kunefe here is freshly made to order (takes around 12-15 minutes for a small) and is topped afterwards with a honey syrup. While fresh and piping hot and loaded with fresh pistachios on top, I preferred the ones from Middle Eastern places like Nablus. This isn't because this is worse but i prefer a rosewater flavor over honey and a stronger cheese flavor. In terms of the Turkish variety, this is one of the better ones I have had. The baklava here is honestly the best I have had and I'll definitely want to revisit. The woman gave me some pieces from a new batch that was just made and they were perfectly soft and room temperature as they should be. Good local place though it is the second location of a one in Bay Ridge with a much larger selection/is a bit cheaper I hear. I'll go back to that one which also has some extra options and to get some mastiha ice cream. 4.6 read more

I know this is related to the same establishment in Bay Ridge, but somehow everything tastes fresher at this location. We stopped in for two pieces of baklava, çay, and kunefe, and it was just about everything you could ask for in an afternoon snack. The roasted pistachios on top of the kunefe - imported from Turkey - were so flavorful that I bought a box just of them to take home. read more

This is for two separate delivery experiences (no comment on the actual delivery time, but giving rating for the food only): the cold baklava, walnut baklava, and cheese and pistachio kunefe were phenomenal. The kunefe was cold and the cheese was set, but I ate it anyway. Next time I will heat it up in the oven for the cheese pull effect. The portions are decent and they all tasted wonderful. I would order here again. read more

The baklavas are the best I've ever had--and I've tried many many baklavas from NYC and NJ. The service is also amazing--they are so kind and patient (my mom asks a lot of questions). I will definitely be back again for more as soon as I'm back in NJ! read more

I hate writing reviews but this place had the worst food and the waiters play too many games. I would not go back nor do I recommend anyone to go to this place. When we got there the waiter was no where to find. Finally walked around and found her. She showed us to our seats and disappeared. Then I had to go find her and order. We got 2 medium kanafa, Large tea pot, large ice cream and Turkish coffee. Everything was good except kanafa. The Kanafa was bitter and so was the pistachio was very bitter. I asked for the manager and I was giving a number. So I called it and it was the restaurants phone number. Then I asked for the manager's number again. Again I was give the wrong number. One of girls picked up and asked like the manager but I can see her on the phone. Then I had to ask again, for the manager's real number. Again I got a number and on one answered the call. So, I left a voice mail. I am sure I will not get a call. If the manager cares, he/she can massage me. Anyways stay away for this place. There are many places with good kanafa. read more

Favorite place for baklava; I take these to friends and events all the time. They are crispy , not overly sweet, lots of pistachio and just very much like how baklava should taste and similar to what I've had growing up. My only complaint is I have received not fresh baklava on 2 occasions so I usually taste what's in front of me before committing to purchase now. read more

AMAZING, this place is a must if you like Kunafa and Baklava. I have been to Turkey and can confirm that their desserts taste very close to what you can get in Turkey. The place itself is not very fancy but, the presentation is very impressive, the atmosphere is nice, the staff are friendly, and the food makes up for it all. read more

Came here on a Sunday night around 9 pm and it was pretty packed. We got the medium sized Kunafa which can easily feed 5-6 adults with a large pot of tea. It was fresh, cheesy and the pistachios were on point! I look forward to coming back again and ordering the Kunafa with Ice Cream (Turkish Dondurma). read more

My sister is from NY. I'm here on vacation from California. She spoke so highly of this place being the best knafeh she's had in her life. That's saying a lot considering we've lived in the Middle East and we really know knafeh. When we got it, it was so hard almost like a bark. The cheese wouldn't stretch. The cheese was a very thin layer you can barely see or taste. It was actually horrible. I was very disappointed in the quality. My sister was so upset because of how highly she spoke of you. We should be reimbursed or given a replacement. This was not good at all. read more

Let me preface my review by saying that I don't eat kunefe so I can't speak about that specific dessert from my experience, but it definitely is the reason my friends want to come here often. Judging by the excitement in their eyes when the kunefe arrives at our table, I would say you definitely should try it out if you like it. My two favorite menu items here are the baklava and the imported Turkish ice cream. The baklava is better than most that I've tried in the area, possibly the best. The ice cream though, now that's to die for! It's imported from Turkey. My fave is the pistachio one. My friends and I specifically come here on weekends to purchase the pistachio-flavored ice cream to bring home to eat it next to our bonfire. While the ice cream is a little pricey, it is expected for something that is really tasty and flavor-rich--also don't forget that it is imported. read more
