Hakiki: The Contender in the Newtown Area

Finally a Groupon deal that was worthwhile. I re-installed the app just for a 2 for 1 Hakiki deal. The Turkish ice-cream here is made from goats and cows milk with the exotic thickening ingredients. The texture is definitely not for licking, it is rather thick and elastic. Perfect for a really hot day as it tends to stay in the frozen state longer. The texture is similar to ricotta gelato but a little creamier. Despite the difference in texture compared to gelato, it just melted once in my mouth. Some choose to even chew on it. The flavours vary from Turkish classics like Turkish Delight and Baklava to Burnt Caramel and fruit-based ones.

Verdict

Hakiki is a serious alternative to Cow and Moon down the road. They have the warmth of a family run business that offers friendly service with a unique product. They do get creative with the flavours however, after a few visits I think that the Baklava and Turkish Delight are the best.
