Katmer cafe, long a favorite among lovers of oriental sweets in Ashgabat, continues to maintain its reputation as one of the capital's most cozy and atmospheric establishments. Located at 19 Ankara street (formerly Yubileynaya street), the café has become popular thanks to its signature dish—delicate katmer and strong Turkish tea.

The signature katmer is prepared here according to a traditional recipe: the thinnest dough, pistachio crumbs, and a subtle sweetness create that distinctive flavor, which guests call "the most Turkish in town." The aromatic tea is imported directly from trusted Turkish suppliers to preserve the richness and authentic tartness, which perfectly complements the dessert.

Regular customers note that the combination of katmer and tea has become a small evening ritual for many. The cozy atmosphere and calm music make the café attractive for both family gatherings and friendly get-togethers.
