A new place to overcharge tourists. Today we stopped to buy some desserts and although one of the sweets was 185TL/kg employee weighed as 250TL/kg as if I was not there! It costed 70TL, much more than it was, and when I said I would not buy because they were overcharging, then employee removed price tag and told me to pay 50! I told them that I would not buy. I only bought one thing that they weighted with normal price (picture below). There were a lot of tourists shopping there, mostly Arabs. Unfortunately we have such terrible stores, I want to warn tourists for such places... Do not buy anything here... (Btw there was not any price tags on any product, you have to ask them, it means they can say whatever they want. I guess they are saying higher prices to tourists...

Very nice Bazaar, however be aware that prices here are inflated and higher than other places for the same products

Nice bazaar with variety of things to buy e.g. oragnic honey, sweets, baklava, coffee, and souvenirs. Prices are a bit high though.

We visited this place Not recommended if you have kids Nothing interesting If you are interested in organic and staff Other wise dont waste your time and money Not cheap Although turkish delight is tasty But you cant buy it everywhere

The sales people were too pushy and they weren't being honest about the price of any of their products. If they were honest, I wouldve bought something from them. Learn to respect the name that you're trying to build for yourself. Be honest and you'll get more buyers.

Nice place however what it is sold is totally different of what it is advertised. Prices are more expensive than what is available on high street.

Scammy tourist trap with prices triple what you would find in even the most touristic of places in Istanbul. Unfortunately this place is a stop on the tours of Sapanca Lake, but just opt to stay on the bus and avoid dealing with the pushy and rude sales people.

Very big market for Turkish souvenirs. But horrendously expensive. Best to buy it outside in the open market or in another store.

It has whatever you want to buy, including coffee and sweets

Very nice place

Bad Experience I took 6 kilos of Halgoom and chose the types I ordered, but unfortunately the customer was not honest about the types I ordered and put other types, the top of deception And the prices are very expensive I recommend buy halgoom from hafez Mostafa Be careful don’t buy anything from there

We didn't like it at all! 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻 - standard goods, nothing special - extremely overpriced exorbitant prices for high quality simple products! - focused only on Arab customers - awkward parking spaces (narrow, overcrowded, traffic jams,…)

Nice to visit! But prices are kind of expensive!

The location is good. The prices are so high, twice from the places like in Istanbul. The workers are not so respectful especially the woman one that presents the coffee. I didn’t buy any thing from them, and also I advice all of you that visit with the other groups to those shops that please, take this advice as your brother, please, please don’t buy any thing in these areas because there prices is very high. Take your Interest from the places that you are visiting not buy anything from those shops! That is my opinion!

For short tourist pit stop shd be fine but some of the items shd be of unique to that area per say else it will be repeat from those selling in istanbul

The Arabic speaker workers are very kind and their smile let you buy with glad , You should definitely taste the dessert and holkum there, discovering new kinds of mixed tea with multi flavors I tried the tea with pineapple Nice shopping place

SCAM SCAM SCAM notification. I'm editing my review after coming back home and discovering that this place is a fishy SCAMMY place that is way way overpriced even more than similar shops in Taksim. They deducted some portions of the dessert we asked for and replaced it with other items. We tasted some good stuff while there but found a bad taste of the desserts we got back home with us. This is part of the fishy SCAMMY trips areanged by travel agencies to sabanja and ma'shoqyeah..... Now I understand why we were offered that trip for free!!!! Below is my previous review UNEDITED. ""The staff are nice, parking is available, overpriced goods, good quality desserts, other items are not that high quality, usually this place get visited as per the travel agencies arrangements. Overall, not with and not against it.""

Very nice shopping experience. Super helpful guidance and lots of opportunities to taste before you buy.

The place is amazing with all items which you will need in Turkey from coffe, sweet,spices ,the prices are expensive comparing outside but its very organised and to be honest I met a sales person named zayen he was very helpful, he gived me all details with always a smile he didn't fed up from my question, he was one of the reason that I bought from them .

Very expensive

All products are amazing

Really nice stuff but way overpriced. E.g. tea cup set of 6 for 1200 lira and I bought the EXACT same set from the Egyptian bazaar for 400 lira without much haggling

Visited with travel agency . The travel agency bring you and advertise as its government supermarket . However prices are so expensive. The prices are 4 times of high street shops . Employees are following you and annoying you to buy something. This shop give commission to travel agents to bring tourists .the main target for them are khaliji Arabs. Do not recommend you to get off the bus just stay inside

Nice place to buy spices and soaps and Turkish sweet You have to negotiate well they make discount around 20% depending how you negotiate Definitely cheaper than istanbul They have Arabic speakers Sales representative

Nice place to visit, but not a good place to buy, prices are way high, more than double, and the packing is a bluff, when you open it contains only a small amount. Better buy from local market

Good place to buy some gifts the prices are little bit high but the place is so chic

Nice place to break during driving but prices inside are may be five times more thsn usually,

while the store is indeed nice, the salesmen are extremely pushy for turkey standards and the prices are very high. Not sure why you would purchase fake designer purses for real usd prices here. Entire thing scream screams scam.

Really clean with variable natural products. I recommend visiting the soap table the got a perfect collection with good price

Be careful when paying I never give bad review but when people try to scam you then they deserve a 0 star if it was possible.Be cautious when buying something cause the will rip money out of u bargain alot and then calculate everything at counter.

Over priced items. No tickets are required. If you are not Turkish or Arabic origin, they ignore you. Once you manage to get some attention, they charge you more.

Staff are very friendly and very cooperative. There are many choices. Some times it's very crowded. It's worth visiting.

The product quality is perfect, the employees are so friendly.

An Extremely Overcharged, despite the quality which is available in much similar places. On the other hand it could be a tourist fraud, as they don't have any local customers nor even a visitor, due to price level comparing to location, they targeting an intl visitor's to Sabanca and Mashuqia and pay a commission to tourism agents who stopped over there and resulting the wasting of schedule by overriding the dedicated period of amazing nature there

Love the place love what the do and love the taste of the halawa but al little bit high prices

Nice place to buy sweets, spices and thinges related to body care. They have offers,like buy 5 kilos of sweets get one free. Highly recomnended
