Food creator Doobydobap, after a marathon 100-hour food tour of London, called it the place that “perfectly ends a night out,” and the shop’s walk-in-friendly, casual counter-service makes late-night cravings easy to satisfy.
The draw here is the classic trio of baklava, kunafeh, and Turkish delight — all expertly made and clearly memorable enough to earn each dish a thumb’s up. Doobydobap’s glowing recommendation, paired with the shop’s Instagrammable presentation and takeout-friendly setup, positions Hafiz Mustafa as an ideal sweet-tooth stop after an evening in Knightsbridge. It’s a simple, traditional pastry cafe that delivers exactly what it promises.

AI summary of what 3 dish mentions say about the food
The baklava earns unanimous praise for its flaky, honey-drenched perfection, while reviewers describe the overall vibe as a warm, indulgent escape into traditional Turkish sweetness.
“The baklava is made with phyllo dough, baked first and then doused with sugar syrup. It's a little bit moist, wet, and dowsed in sugar and syrup, but not overwhelming. The layers are gorgeous. The pistachio and walnut versions are both great — the everlasting discussion is like asking who you like more, your mom or your dad. I think I like walnut a tiny bit better, but it depends on the mood.”

Baklava
The baklava is made with phyllo dough, baked first and then doused with sugar syrup. It's a little bit moist, wet, and dowsed in sugar and syrup, but not overwhelming. The layers are gorgeous. The pistachio and walnut versions are both great — the everlasting discussion is like asking who you like more, your mom or your dad. I think I like walnut a tiny bit better, but it depends on the mood.
Kunafeh
Kunafeh is made with shredded phyllo dough, served warm with honey or syrup drizzled on top, and a sprinkle of very green pistachio. Inside is a fresh cheese that gives a nice satisfying cheese pull. It's a mix of cheesiness and sweetness. The contrast of textures is key — crispy and flaky shredded phyllo, nutty pistachio, and sweet and salty balance from the cheese. Think of it as Turkish cheesecake.
Turkish Delight
Turkish delight is like if a fruit jelly and a marshmallow made love and gave birth. It's punchy and a little bit fruity. The pomegranate and pistachio version is great.
