Gulluoglu Sesame Bagel (Simit), 8 pieces, daily fresh shipment from Istanbul/Turkey

These are not hard, or crispy. The texture is wonderful, like a good, sesame coated bread. One simit is very substantial, and has a great flavor. I especially love them with my morning coffee with a bit of butter. They can of course be eaten any time of day, and instead of the usual bread or rolls, they are great with dinner. I like them when I have pasta. I have ordered them three times already, and plan on getting more. I also would like to try some of the other items this brand has to offer. The ordering process was easy and quick, and the price is great. I am so happy I discovered these! I follow someone on TikTok that is Turkish, and when I saw her eating Simit, I knew I had to buy some, so I searched on Amazon. I am very satisfied with this purchase.

These are a bsokutely delicious. They are like a big pretzel and delicious bread d ought combined. I am hooked. They also come with a pack of some Turkish candy/gummy-like treat. They are as fresh as can be. They are bug. I had one with butter, cheese and Hon ey all separately. Absolutely a treat. They are totally different from standard NY bagels. I love both. YUMMY!!!

I've been ordering from this store for 2 years now and everything is always delicious. I've tried simit from a few other places and it's not even close. These are perfectly crisp outside, fluffy and moist inside. I order a bunch and freeze them and even after thawing and being put in the toaster oven for a few minutes, they are still perfect.

HORRIBLE, TASTED LIKE SAND

Came fresh and on time. Each was wrap separately. Tasted very good. I guess the company put a lot into deliver the taste that is so expensive:(

Sadly, after lots of excitement and quite expensive cost to order these, it was disappointing to see that the sesame seeds on top were totally burned and to me, inedible , also overall very dry. OK, not like getting these in a Turkish shop in NYC even. Please be cautious when ordering due to the burned sesame seeds unless you like that.Be careful too, as they are not returnable and not sure if Amazon satisfaction section would give a refund. I prefer not to add a photo of them in my trash can where they are now :(

This isn’t the simit I remember from Istanbul’s streets. The packaging is great, but it’s lost some of its freshness. When I pop it in the oven, it turns out okay, but it’s definitely more like a bakery-style simit than the classic street simit. The texture is softer, more like bread than the crisp and chewy street simit I love. It’s not bad, just not the same experience.

These simits' taste brought our happy memories of Istanbul on a new year eve. We toasted them and enjoyed with some fresh butter. 😋It is more fluffy compared to those simits that street vendors sell in Istanbul, but it's best I had in many years.The packaging was excellent, so simits arrived fresh and delivery was faster that originally noted! It's price is reasonable, given that I can not find anything like this locally.
