Known forTurkishbakerybudgetcash only
A tiny, beloved spot in Kensington Market serving Turkish simit (sesame-crusted bread rings), börek, and strong tea in a warm, no-frills setting. It's a genuine neighbourhood institution that draws a loyal crowd of regulars. Cash only and seating is limited, but the food is honest and delicious at a price that feels almost too good.
