Simit and Cheese — Restaurant in Rotterdam

Prepare yourself for a Turkish breakfast experience that will transport you to the vibrant streets of Turkey, right here in the Netherlands. Brace yourself for some grumpy staff along the way, but hey, that's all part of the fun!

As you enter, the enticing aromas will make your mouth water. The colorful display of olives, cheeses, and fresh veggies beckons you to dig in. But, be prepared for the grumpy faces behind the counter. Smiles might be in short supply, but fear not, the food makes up for it!

Let's talk about the food itself. Picture warm, fluffy bread that's simply heavenly. Pair it with creamy yogurt and flavorful homemade jams that burst with taste.

But, worry not, dear breakfast adventurer! The flavors will transport you to the bustling streets of Istanbul, even without the iconic portrait. Embrace the missing smirk and savor every delicious bite.

While you enjoy a sip of fragrant Turkish tea, try to crack a smile from the grumpy staff. It may be a challenge, but their grumpiness adds a unique touch to the experience. The cozy atmosphere, adorned with Turkish decorations, brightens up even the gloomiest of mornings.

So, embrace the grumpy charm of this Turkish breakfast haven. Let the delectable food transport you to Turkey's delights, with or without Atatürk's picture. Dive into the mouthwatering spread and see if you can coax a grin from the staff. Remember, it's the grumpy encounters that make this breakfast bonanza truly unforgettable!

UPDATE !!!

I was quite disappointed with my recent visit to this place after nearly five years. The breakfast we ordered took an unexpectedly long time to arrive and even waiting for almost another 10 minutes, the bread was still missing, and we had to ask for it. While this could have been overlooked, the teapot also never arrived. Once again, we had to go and ask for it, even though customers who arrived after us were being served their tea well before us. The overall service was not up to the standard we had previously experienced. My family, who are local and regular visitors, were equally surprised by the poor service. They mentioned that the owner, who usually ensures everything runs smoothly, was not present that day, which might explain the decline in service quality. Overall, it was a disappointing experience, especially considering the high expectations I had from my previous visit.
