Why it's worth checking out
Hakiki sits on Enmore Road in Newtown, one of Sydney's most vibrant and eclectic inner-west strips. A much-loved Turkish ice cream spot, it's earned a strong following for its authentic, traditional Turkish ice cream (dondurma) — the kind of distinctive, delicious treat, known for its uniquely stretchy texture, that's become a genuine Newtown favourite.
The appeal is that combination of authentic Turkish ice cream and a fun, characterful experience: the traditional dondurma offers something genuinely different from regular ice cream, in a great range of flavours, making it a wonderful treat after a meal or a wander through Newtown. Its authenticity and distinctive character have clearly won over a big, devoted following.
With a 4.5 rating from more than 1,800 reviews, it's clearly a firm favourite. Flavours, opening hours and pricing vary, and a popular ice cream spot gets busy on warm evenings and weekends, so it's worth checking current details before a special trip — though for a scoop of authentic Turkish ice cream, it's often just a matter of dropping in and seeing what's on offer on Enmore Road.
