Very tiny frontage, blink & you will miss this little shop, painted blue & white of course with a huge street number 552. This establishment came highly recommended & sadly failed to deliver & live up to expectations. The lady serving was lovely, very helpful & polite, as was the pastry/sweets staff in the kitchen. Firstly, the sweets looked good, I purchased Kourabiethes & some Koulourakia, while not quite to my mum's standard, quite good & moorish. BUT, what we call the burek, that pastry filled with fetta or other ingredients fell far, far short. The BEST pastry is Macedonian, that finely honed pastry that is stretched into an extremely fine layer, here, at this venue, they used phyllo pastry which is not the real, authentic way of making this product. My mother is Greek Macedonian from Florina, a brilliant cook, she makes a "proper" burek/pastry we call muznik, your product could not compete nor compare, BUT, that is no excuse for the pastry you sold me that was predominately spinach, a bland, tasteless offering. I paid $28 for your pastry & almost threw half of it away. I don't like to criticize & suspect very few of your customers would know the difference between what you offer & the "real" thing, but my partner, a Greek, says you USED to make your pastries the proper way once. So you have no excuse dropping your standards with a cheaper & inferior product to save on your overheads. ADVICE, add generous amounts of fetta to ensure that unique flavour, I did & it was quite TASTY straight out of the oven, even with the spinach. DON'T FORGET THE FETTA! You're a lovely lady, I wish you well, but we're both disappointed customers that are unlikely to...
