It was the worst Turkish breakfast/snack shop/pastry I have ever been to. The atmosphere made me uncomfortable but this is my personal opinion, others may find it satisfying (the table next to me was a gossip cauldron and behind me was a real estate chat. It was such a loud conversation that I had to join in even if I didn't want to. The attitude of the person who took care of us while taking the order was the beginning of my negative opinion about the business. Anyway, the same employee made fun of me while I was paying the bill, not in a funny way, but in a really sarcastic way, unfortunately I cannot recommend such a business to anyone.
Our order came incomplete, but it was not a problem, it was fixed with our request. The rolled pastry (borek) was unlike any pastry I have ever eaten anywhere, it was at a level I can call 3/5.

I don't talk about 'it was baked in the morning and being sold in the evening' - that's fine. I'm talking about 'it was baked three days or so ago'. I still give two stars for the previous good experience with potato filled simits but it was just once and not sure which experience prevails now... Also it was anyway really expensive for a simit but I really thought it would be good so...
Read moreIt's a place I often prefer. Their simits are quite good and fresh. They also offer a variety of gözleme, which are also tasty. There are many options like menemen and eggs with sucuk. It's a great spot for a traditional Turkish breakfast. Since I don't usually have breakfast, I mostly go there for soup. They have lentil and chicken broth soups. I really enjoy the lentil soup. It’s always good. I tried the chicken broth soup once, but I didn’t like it much. My favorite combo here is lentil soup and simit. Simple...
