    This place will not let you down. The food is incredibly delicious, very high quality, clean, and beautifully presented, halal, without compromising price!! The owner is super nice and connects with every customer who comes in. Overall, this was one of the best dining experiences I have had. The Turkish food here is on of the best I have ever had (including Turkey).

    Gorgeous food. We ate breakfast there and took other things home to eat later. I’ve been a customer at her farmer’s market stands and can’t recommend this cafe highly enough! The bourek, simit, rose pistachio turkish delight, baklava, pide bread— everything (even the phyllo dough) is made fresh. Can’t wait to return!

    The food here is just so good. It’s flavorful, interesting and made with great ingredients. The staff and owner are so sweet which makes the atmosphere amazing. I got the lahmacun (Turkish pizza) and the Balkan kebab sandwich and both were so flavorful. I’ve also been several times for the Turkish breakfast platter which never misses. Can’t recommend this place enough!

    This place is an amazing gem. I ordered the kebab sandwich and was blown away by every aspect. The bread tasted freshly baked and I was in well after 1pm, side of fresh salad. Let the photos speak for themselves.

    I am so glad my friend suggested Simurgh Bakery for lunch! They bake everything from scratch, including the phyllo dough for the baklava. My friend went traditional, but you know I could not resist those vibrant colors for the chocolate-pistachio...so good! I also absolutely loved the cloudlike lightness of the pide bread on the Balkan kabob sandwich, and that honey cake? Woo! It's a brick! A sweet, delicious brick that took three servings to finish off with all those honey cake and cream cheese layers. Will definitely be back.

    The baklava in this place were my kind of pastry; perfectly sweetened, not overly soaked in syrup and the phyllo layers on the top half provided a good contrast of texture. If you prefer something savory, order the spinach feta bourek. For non caffeinated beverage, try the orange soda which is similar to Fanta.

    We were in the Bay Area / SF and we were looking for a cafe. There’s many in SF but the parking there is awful. So we searched for one nearby and came across this Turkish Cafe. We got egg Shakshouka, simit with cheese and hard boiled eggs. We also get tea. Food was good, but it would be better if the serve it with side salad like ( tomatoes and cucumbers).

    I fell in love with Turkish tea when I visited Istanbul years ago and I'm so happy to find a place that serves it near me. The Turkish bagels are so good here, too. And the rose Turkish delights... wow. Love this little spot.
