I was staying in the area for some time and I passed by this place and the smell caught my attention because it reminded me of Manoushe bakeries back home, it smells the same!
Next day in the morning I went and I ordered for take away since they don't offer dine in, I had White cheese with vegetables, Kavurma with cheese, and Spinach with cheese.
