I’m still reeling from how good this meal was that I may fail to articulate the experience well enough. In short - don’t miss giving this local delicacy a shot, not only for the taste, but just the wholesomeness it brings! You know a place is GOOD and legit when all they have on their menu is one kind of specialty dish, and LE Sturk lands!

Strukli, we learnt from the staff, is made of pastry sheets layered with flavored cottage cheese (not your regular cheese or ricotta or such) making this a healthier dish to indulge in.

We got seated in the backside garden which was such a pleasant surprise cuz we didn’t expect that the restaurant would be so big and charming cuz the entry is a bit basic aesthetically. That itself was a great start. The garden area is delightful and had a vibe going by 6pm itself on a Wednesday! It got super busy by 7pm and all tables, indoor and outdoor filled. Altho it was a sweltering hot day, they had huge fans and the breeze in the garden made it a great set up to be in without feeling the temperatures above.

We started off with a lager; lemon-kiwi carbonated local drink - both 10/10.

The Struklis take about 30-35 mins to get served - freshly baked! The wait is worth it, I promise.

Everything on the menu is vegetarian but nothing is vegan. The dishes contain eggs.

We got the Strukli soup first, and then the red pepper gratinate, and then the apple-cinnamon gratinate. Irresistible!!!! They have 2 versions - cooked/boiled and baked. All the baked versions have flavor choices & whipping cream goes on top. We asked for as minimal whipping cream as possible, and they were able to accommodate.

The soup was a pepper onion soup with a Strukli roll dunked in it. The umami flavor was beautiful. Only feedback I have for this is that they should go easy on the oil (which, was easily scoopable; we just separated it out before mixing it all in).

The red pepper Strukli was good too, really enjoyed the chewiness and the hit of flavor in every bite. They have a chilli pepper topping which took this to the next level.

Because YOLO, we went for the apple cinnamon also!!!! No regrets! This was the star of the show. Natural sweetness from the apples, and the cinnamon flavored cottage cheese was scrumptious. If anything, I would’ve ordered all of the above in reverse order so that I could devour the sweet Strukli fully! Couldn’t finish it. But my God, the caramelisation of it all made this excellent!

If I could give this experience a 11/10, I would! Go for it, try it. GO HUNGRY. It didn’t feel half as heavy/unhealthy/gross as a slice of cheesy pizza or random mindless pastry. It felt like comfort food.

No reservation required unless you’re a big group.

Big shout out to the staff/girls who served our table & patiently answered our gazillion questions!
