Diners rave about the crispy yet tender dough and the generous, flavorful fillings. The friendly service and reasonable prices are also frequently highlighted.

"Delicious Burek. Fresh from the “sac” (special oven). Good service and excellent value for money."

"We tried most of the bureks, they were nice. We ordered them with yogurt or clotted cream. I recommend that. Tea is different from tea in Turkey. I think you will enjoy it more with cold drinks."

"This is the most popular burek shop but I didn't like the minced meat burek. I think Turks have hyped this place because of a different kind of burek and a bit of popular culture. The filling was rich but the minced meat was not roasted so it was very heavy and raw. It's like “Çiğ Börek”, a Turkish delicacy, but the taste is more intense and heavy. I liked the one with cheese better, but in general, all the pastries are fat-free, which is a plus point. And the waiters are very kind."

Burek is a thin pastry filled with meat, cheese, or cheese and spinach. The pastry is rolled into a long tube, wrapped into a big circle (like a pizza but called a “pie”), or just folded into itself. This is then baked and cut into a slice of pie, burek “sticks”, or as a handheld pastry.
