AI summary of what 2 dish mentions say about the food
The Börek alle patate is the clear standout, praised for its perfectly flaky, buttery layers. Overall, reviewers describe the food as simple, satisfying, and deeply comforting.
“This potato börek is wonderful. It's a sort of roll filled with different ingredients — cheese, meat, potatoes, onions. The pastry around it is a filo dough called yufka in Turkish. It's rolled up on itself and then baked in the oven. We took the potato one. Look at that spectacle.”

Simit con Formaggio
This simit with cheese is really good. They make the dough, form a ring, and then dip it in a mountain of sesame seeds — I don't know how they manage to cook the dough without burning the sesame. In the cheese version you get two textures: the edge is like a pretzel, the inside is like pizza with cheese. Really good. Of course you drink it with excellent Turkish coffee, good even without sugar and it goes perfectly with the cheese.
