Rose Borek — Restaurant in Sydney

This place is a gem. Turkish Borek, the rose borek and water borek are great. The rose borek is crispy in the outside, nice filling combos -try mixed if you cant make up your mind, the meat, sucuk, feta and greens combo has you covered. The water borek is layers of pastry boiled in water then cooled and layered with parsley and feta and baked again. Sydney has numerous burek places with the Macedonian variety which are flakier and softer but different compared to the rose borek which is less focus on the layers and has a singular crispy outside - very different. Have it with ayran, a yoghurt based drink goes well with it. The owners are lovely, nice people. Street traffic on Gardeners road is pretty terrible on the weekend so if you can't avoid that stretch of road be ready to exercise your patience....

If you want to taste different types of Turkish Börek, this is the place you should visit. All böreks done in house and taste delicious, especially water börek (su böreği). They also serve Turkish breakfast with simit (Turkish bagel) sucuk (a kind of sausage) and egg or menemen (a blend of eggs, tomatoes, onions and peppers). It is a family business therefore service was very quick and smooth as well. Just a warning, it is a small shop (there is place for maybe 15 people max) so book in advance if you want to...

This place is such a hidden and unassuming gem. I’ll be back many times for their delicious breakfast platters. We couldn’t decide between sujuk and eggs, or menemen, so the friendly staff customised our spread - which was all made fresh and absolutely delicious. The homemade Ayran was the cherry on top of an amazing experience. I wanted to take a picture of the food, but it was so good I only got an after shot.

A must try and better than most places in the inner west/city...
