A Journey of Flavours: Uniting Cultures Through Sweets
As Hafiz Mustafa, a storied institution with a rich history dating back to 1864, we are writing an exciting new chapter in our heritage. With much pride and anticipation, we announce the opening of our first branch in London. It is a celebration of heritage and a tribute to the universal language of taste.
Why London, you may wonder? For us, it is a natural progression, a bridge that connects the threads of British culture and Ottoman Turkish traditions. London, a city with a rich history and famous for its exciting culinary scene, is the perfect canvas on which to paint our tasty masterpiece.
Our story begins in the era of the Tanzimat period, a time of transformative change and enlightenment. While Queen Victoria ascended the British throne and esteemed authors penned their first words, the Ottoman Empire witnessed its historic milestones. During this time, Hafiz Mustafa was born, a confectionary rooted in tradition, craftsmanship, and the pursuit of culinary excellence.
Over the years, Hafiz Mustafa has preserved the authentic flavors passed down through generations and bowed to the winds of change. As the industrial revolution revolutionized society, our devotion to superior quality and innovation remained constant. Our delicious creations have graced the palates of influential personalities, uniting cultures through the language of taste.
The decision to open a branch in London was a desire to bridge the gap between two cultures, to create a place of taste where traditions meet and people can take a culinary journey of discovery. Â London, a city that has witnessed the birth of great artistic, literary, and scientific aspirations, now welcomes the flavors of Hafiz Mustafa.

London, a melting pot of cultures, is the setting for our grand entrance. Like the city, our desserts are delicious, with flavors inspired by the different regions of our heritage. Our confections reveal a fusion of British and Ottoman influences, from the delicate notes of Turkish delight to the sheer pleasure of Turkish baklava.
Opening our doors in London is to share the joys of our heritage and flavors with a broader audience. We believe desserts are a universal language that unites people in unity and delight. We aim to create a space where cultures meet, stories are shared, and memories are built by the core of Hafiz Mustafa’s centuries-old traditions and London’s cosmopolitan atmosphere.
Join us on this extraordinary journey, where each bite takes you through time and taste.
Together, let us enjoy the harmonious symphony of British and Ottoman flavors and celebrate the shared values that unite us all. Hafiz Mustafa, a legacy of sweetness, is honored to be part of London’s thriving culinary landscape.
