The Baklava Lady

I love this restaurant! I originally chose to try it out because it is vegan and was a nice halfway point for me and a friend to meet (I drive from Philly, my friend drives from NYC), and that meal has lived in my head rent free ever since. The breakfast board was so luxurious and fresh, my friend and I shared it along with menemen, some boreks, and some desserts (including baklava, obviously - it was outstanding). They were also super accommodating for my gluten free partner, they said anything and everything on the food menu is available gluten free. I went again last weekend and did a pickup order to go - got a spiced chickpea wrap, menemen, boreks, some baklava, and the most exquisite pistachio matcha latte. There was no effect on the quality of the food, it was still great even packed up to go. I’ll be going again soon! It’s over an hour drive for me but so worth it. The food is delicious and every employee I’ve interacted with has been super nice and helpful both in person and over the phone. I will say that atmosphere wise, both times I have been there it was packed (for good reason), so it may be difficult to get a table if you have a large group, but if you can it’s quite lovely. And if not, there is no difference in quality if you take your order to go, so you get to enjoy yourself either way.

Delicious! Gluten free offerings (like a chocolate donut with chocolate frosting!!) and pita that’s gluten free so you can get the chickpea tuna salad. It was delicious! They may need to change their take out containers so they don’t leak, but I’m not even mad since it was so amazing!
