    * Turkish cafe *

    This little cafe was a welcome surprise.  They offer a small selection of freshly baked Turkish items such as baklava, and böreks.  

    I had the beef börek for lunch, which was served with a side of a nice thick Turkish yogurt.  The pastry itself was nice and flaky, and the beef filling was well seasoned.  Pairing the yogurt with the flaky pastry and beef made for a nice combination.  My only "beef" with the börek was that they reheated it in a way that made parts of it slightly soggy (I'm guessing microwave?).  That was a shame, as it was a nice one which got just a little rubbery in parts because of the reheating process.  I wish they would reheat in an oven and take a little longer (it would be worth the wait).  So a minus 1 on what would have been a 4 star lunch otherwise.  Priced fairly at $7 (tax inclusive).  Photos:  http://www.yelp.ca/biz... and http://www.yelp.ca/biz...

    Service was extremely friendly, although with almost zero English skills.

    I think I prefer the burek at Bernie's Balkan Kitchen not too far away where it maintains its crispness:  http://www.yelp.ca/biz...  

    P.S.  Free wifi for you, if that matters.....
