The cheburek was delicious— the flaky pastry with a savory meat filling that was so good, I ended up getting two. The food here is very authentic. The dumplings were huge (beware!), but they were very tasty. While the flavors are simple, everything feels homey and comforting. A great spot for a cozy meal!
