    I used a third party to purchase it so unfortunately I can't say anything about the price but I gotten a variety of things and they were super tasty. Currently still tasting (to-go order) and I definitely will be back to try some other things. Which if you have a sweet tooth they have a full variety of fluffy desserts. Do I know what they're called? Nope, but they're pretty. Also the interior is super colorful which if you know me I love some color. This place is also seat yourself but I think you have to order up front. Then they'll bring your stuff to your table which they are open till 1:00 a.m. You looking for something new... Try this place out! Would I be back?... Yes!

    This spot had been on my list for quite some time, I actually bookmarked it just for their stunning mosaic lights and the ambience. The lighting alone is absolutely beautiful and gives the place a warm, magical vibe. We stopped by after a good, filling dinner elsewhere, hoping to enjoy some dessert, and honestly the best part ended up being that they're open till 3 AM. We placed our order at the counter and took a seat. My friends wanted to try the Adeni tea, but the pale color already predicted how it was going to taste and it wasn't great. We also ordered kunafa and baklava, and both were super disappointing, especially considering how pricey they were. Definitely not worth the cost. They did have live music going on, which added a nice touch, but overall the desserts and drinks didn't match the ambience or the expectations I had from this place.

    A highly must if you're in the area and you want something different from the norm! We showed up here with every expectation of Turkish desert and they delivered highly! The theme / decor really brings parts of Turkey to Dearborn but more importantly the desert, Baklava (with a spin of added ice cream) and the Turkish coffee was amazing. The location has one cashier who also serves your order but definitely take your time and talk to them as they were very helpful in making big decisions amongst so many great choices. There was an entertainer with a guitar but not sure if that's a daily thing or we happened to be there when they offered. Great setting for family and friends.

    Where do you go for Sunday brunch with a heat advisory in place? You seek out a nice and cool restaurant to meet a dear friend, who is a vegetarian. We decided to try something new and different. We dined in at the Dearborn location of Galata Turkish Sweets. I had been here for Turkish coffee but not eat. Since this was both of our first time dining here, we ordered a table full of dishes. We were being adventurous! Many items we ordered we had to ask our friend, Google, what they were we weren't familiar with Turkish cuisine. This made our brunch even more fun. We ordered lentil soup, a chikofte plate for an appetizer, the special mini meze with one skimit and 5 sides, the eggs & sucuk and from the blender, an ayran cup. This came with multiple breads. Emre was nice enough to explain what we had before us. We dove in tasting the various items until we were full. I loved the eggs and sucuk. It was perfect for a late breakfast and an early lunch. The chikofte plate was delicious too. We appreciated all the flavors and spices. My only drawback for me was my Ayran cup was not my cup of tea. I figure it for those with an acquired taste for this yogurt-based drink. We were so full that we didn't leave any room for dessert this time around.

    The hype is real when it comes to Turkish cultural experience here. The pizza here is at a top notch level! accommodate your requests with no issues from scan menu. Ambiance is nice dim lighting is just right with beautiful Turkish lamps, but the food... wow, just perfect! It's worth every bite. I like seeing that quality control in a restaurant, makes me feel like my money is well spent. It also reflects on the singer too very beautiful voice . That is all. Chief He who falls by the sword did not respect life. :/)) :)) (:=))

    All the sweets near the counter are good - you can't go wrong with

    OMG how I love this place- and everyone who works here is so friendly... I was walking around town killing time because my favorite avocado shake is in the menu for 5:00pm (no idea why but you should wait for it, it's that good) and I showed up at 4:59 annoying I know but they were so nice about it I've previously had breakfast here and all was delicious but I come back for this avocado concoction (and it's so rich, it lasts for days!! Or share it) I truly try NOT to take a few pieces of that chocolate baklava home but you should try that too- the boys are so friendly, you'll buy up everything

    A very cool cafe. Nice decoration. It's a self order they bring you the food. Loved the place and the "Turkish Tea" was really authentic and I definitely enjoyed my time there

    Came here based on the reviews. The shop is nicely decorated and clean. I grabbed some baklava for myself and as a gift. The server was very pleasant. I was fasting so didn't get to try the baklava until 2 hours later. I got a variety of about 5 different kinds and each was more inedible than the last. Sickeningly sweet, drenched in syrup with no crunch whatsoever over. Just soggy! This is not what baklava is supposed to taste like

    Went to pick up baklava and Kunefe. The sweets were delicious, the plain baklava especially was rich and flavorful. Service was excellent - while we waited for our kunefe they brought us complimentary Turkish tea! The ambiance was also beautiful, and there was a violinist playing live in the cafe

    Very delicious! Would definitely come back. Loved the decor with all the lamps from the ceiling. Didn't get to taste the baklava but it looked good. Pictures- meat platter Avocado shake Beef wrap Hummus

    I fell in love with Turkish coffee when I was younger and on an international assignment in the Middle East to include frequent trips to Turkey. The full bodied nature of this coffee really appeals to me where Galata's makes a very good and authentic cup of this style of coffee. Interacting with the staff of this restaurant while waiting for my coffee to brew brought back great memories of my younger years of enjoying a cup of Turkish Coffee with friends or while meeting and making new friends. Relative to my first dining experience here, I came into this business with the express purpose of trying only their deserts and coffee where I got an assortment of the sweets they had on hand which included their house made Baklava which was delicious and the star of the deserts I had. while eating the deserts I kept seeing these tempting entrees come out of their kitchen for other customers where I felt absolutely compelled (: to to try more of what this business has to offer and ended up getting a traditional Turkish Beef sandwich that was soooo tasty. Definately a good call on my part! Overall, good friendly service and tasty food are a hard combination to beat which this business meets in spades. If you like Turkish food and/or want to expose your palate to something new Than you should definately check this business out.

    First time here and I will definitely be back! The TURKISH COFFEE here is so bold and full of flavor! There's so many different shapes, layers and textures of baklavas I had a hard time choosing even just three! And they were delightful! The service and staff were very welcoming and informative especially it being my first time here I pretty much got the hang of know what I was ordering and what were the base ingredients. They have live music and the colors, furniture, decor are all so nice to look at. I HADDD to snap some photos of the light fixtures. Definitely recommend trying some sweets and dining in.

    I really enjoyed my experience here! The ambiance transforms you from Dearborn to Istanbul when you walk in the door. The sweets are great (my cheesecake was delicious). Tried a sandwich for lunch and it was wonderful. Service is impeccable. Highly recommend

    An absolute treat to visit and pick out a great dessert to purchase (or multiple!)…read more After having lunch nearby, we saw many people walking by with boxes from Dearborn Sweets so we decided to stop in after. We were greeted with a large display case of many different options of sweet treats, cakes, pie-like items, and many more things! My friend and I picked 6 things total and it was around $18 only! We were very surprised of how cheap but highly delicious these items were!

    While in Dearborn this past weekend, I received a tip from the owner of a local restaurant to try…read more"the best middle eastern bakery in all of Dearborn". That brought me to Dearborn Sweets. I haven't tried any other bakeries in Dearborn, but I can tell you that my experience here was fantastic. Customer service and friendliness were beyond excellent; but be sure to pack your patience at peak times because this spot was slammed. You take a number when you walk in, and then wait, and wait, and wait for it to be your turn. This isn't for lack of staff, because there were at least a dozen people working behind the counter, it's just because they were packed with customers! The selections are overwhelming and since it was my first visit, I needed help. The young lady who helped me was very patient, told me about the differences in their specialized Arabic pastries, showed me her favorites, customer favorites, and descriptions for anything I asked about. I went with a small sampler tray of her favorite specialized pastries and their best sellers. Everything was delicious! Flavors, textures, uniqueness, complexity...all of it. My whole family raved about all the treats, so we ended up going back later in the weekend and purchasing a couple larger trays of our favorites (and some new selections) to take home and share. We all agreed that the Qatayef was easily our favorite; for anyone who doesn't know, it is a small pancake filled with custard, fresh chopped strawberries, chopped pistachios, and drizzled with chocolate...fresh, bright, and mouthwateringly delicious. The only negative I experienced was that when I visited around 10am on Sunday to load up for our trip home, their selections were very limited, and I was told I'd need to come back after 3pm to get some of the things I was looking for. So, I would recommend calling ahead to see if they have a full selection before you go, if you don't live nearby. Ultimately, if you haven't tried Dearborn Sweets, I'd highly recommend giving them a shot. They have tons of middle eastern specialties as well as traditional bakery favorites (such as cannoli, fruit tarts, filled donuts, cakes, etc.).
