MADO
Visited and reviewed in person by Sami Karim. Halal status checked on the visit — see how.
Turkish ice cream and desserts — meze and cafe items
Mado
Mado has a presence in the city and the desserts are okay, but as far as value and overall experience go, it's not the strongest. The Turkish ice cream concept is fun, but the overall offering doesn't quite justify the price point.
What to Order
The Turkish ice cream — that's the novelty item and the most interesting thing on the menu.
Must Try
The signature Turkish ice cream experience — it's a bit of a show.
The Verdict
Decent for the ice cream experience, but value wise it could be better. There are stronger dessert options in the city. Worth a visit once for the experience, but not a regular destination.
