- Turkish Tulumba: Often larger and slightly crispier, with a heavier emphasis on citrus-infused syrup.
- Balaḥ ash-Shām (Egyptian & Levantine Version): Sometimes stuffed with cream or nuts, adding a richer texture and flavor.
- Balkan Tulumba: Found in Albanian, Serbian, and Bulgarian cuisines, often enjoyed with a cup of coffee or tea.
- Cypriot Bombacık: A variation in Cypriot Greek and Turkish cuisine, slightly elongated and sometimes dusted with powdered sugar.
