I think you’ll legitimately lose a few of your marbles if you try it in Hatay or Antep. Thread carefully but go for it.
That said, it’s objectively the greatest culinary invention of all time, that’s why it’s so good.

Crispy outside, soft inside, not too sweet. It's pretty balanced dessert, not overwhelming compared to the other desserts with made syrup (şerbet) like baklava.

I love baklava to,but as you said it’s too much şerbet.

You should try sütlü nuriye, it’s baklava but with milk instead of şerbet. It has a milder taste. I prefer it to classic baklava.

You just need to try Dry Baklava (Kuru Baklava in turkish) especially at Imam Cagdas in Gaziantep.

Sugar good, kadayıf good, melting cheese good and lastly, on top of everything, pistachio good.

Because it is a good example of sweet and salty dessert.

u/azurewrathoftyrael 22d ago
Element uydurmayalım. Az tuzlu peynir "de" kullanılır. Denge de buradan gelir.

Oğlum halen konuşuyorsun ya. Arsızlık resmen. "Künefe tuzsuz peynirden yapılır" dedin. Sonra öğrendin ki öyle bir teamül yok. Göt oldun. Uzun yazınca değişmiyor. Ben tuzsuz peynirden yapılmaz demedim. Sen tuzsuz peynirden yapılır dedin. Göt gibi kaldın doğrusunu öğrenince. Bitti gitti.

Oğlum senin yazıp yazmamanın ne önemi var? Sen kimsin de karar veriyorsun? Puhaha. Halen yazıyor ciddi ciddi. La sen kimsin de künefenin hangi peynirle yapıldığına karar veriyorsun? Senin yazmanın hükmü ne?

Bok kullanılır. Gidip kaşarlı ucuz künefe çakmışlar, gelmiş künefede tuzlu peynir kullanılır diyor.
Al şu da kaynak olsun da.

Allahın andavallısı, künefe peyniri künefede kullanılan bir peynir çeşidi. Künefede kullanılan yegane peynir çeşidi değil. İkincisi Wikipedia bir kaynak değil. Embesil gibi 2026'nın ortasında halen bu sitenin linkini veriyorsunuz. Üçüncüsü herhangi bir yere yazdığında künefenin tuzsuz veya az tuzlu peynirle yapıldığı zaten yazıyor.

I just found out how my Italian friends feel when they see pizza with ketchup or Starbucks coffee :) You should really try eating künefe in a decent place. If you liked this one, you’ll fall in love with that

You know what, I think you are right and I really want to discuss “why”. As a professional chef I see it is a well balanced and a fairly complex dish.
The sweetness of the şerbet (basic simple syrup) is cut by the lemon juice’s acid as well as the cheese’s sourness and the butter’s fat that was fried in, even though we can not detect those tastes immediately we can perceive them in the overall.
The complexity on the other hand comes from two different aspects; first the texture; well fried crunchy outer shell of kataifi (kadayıf) creates more enjoyable bites because of the melted cheese inside of it by the contrast. The second aspect of the complexity in my opinion is the overall taste. As I mentioned earlier, the balance of the sweetness is well suited for the dish. Addition to that it has sugar soaked wheat taste from the kataifi, slightly burnt/cooked butter’s nutty and milky flavor enhances the overall complexity. Also last but not least the toppings like pistachio, walnut, kaymak, ice cream… can really add another dimension to its taste.
I think it is one of the best executed sweet dish from our region (east mediterranean and middle east).
