" While I generally enjoyed my meal at Cafe Baklava, I must say I was a bit disappointed with the pricing. I was expecting more adventurous flavors given the cost. Our group tried several dishes, including the chicken kebab and a few appetizers. Everything was decent but did not reach the expectations I had. The staff were polite and the ambiance was nice; however, I would question if the value is really worth it. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem! Cafe Baklava is one of my favorite spots for Turkish food. The kunefe is a must-try; it's the best I've had in the area! The waitress was super friendly and made us feel like family. I also enjoyed the adana kebab, which had a wonderful flavor profile and great texture. Although it's a bit on the pricey side, the quality makes it worth every penny. I’ll be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Cafe Baklava is such a cute little spot! I enjoyed their delicious pide and salad. The atmosphere is romantic—it’s ideal for a date night. The only drawback was the service which was a bit shaky on a busy evening. However, the food made up for it, and I'd definitely go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I loved the vibe at Cafe Baklava—it’s a perfect spot for relaxing and enjoying good food. I particularly enjoyed their kunefe, which was perfectly made. The staff seemed overwhelmed during our visit, but they still maintained a friendly demeanor. I’ll definitely be back, but I might consider visiting a little earlier to avoid the rush. " (*Curated Review*)

" Cafe Baklava is a proper Turkish delight! The food is rich and authentic, with an abundance of flavor. The beyti kebab was the highlight of my meal; it's undeniable how much love is put into the dishes here. The restaurant is also very clean, and the staff is attentive. I truly recommend giving this place a try! " (*Curated Review*)

" Cafe Baklava features a pretty good atmosphere, but my recent meal was not ideal. The moussaka didn't wow me, and I thought the spices could be more vibrant for a truly authentic experience. On a positive note, the tea we ordered was excellent and complemented the meal nicely. I left feeling satisfied but not overly impressed. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have to say, I have varying opinions about Cafe Baklava. The ambiance was warm and inviting; however, the food didn't quite meet my expectations. While the moussaka had potential, it lacked the depth of flavor I had hoped for. On the other hand, the service was impeccable and added a positive note to my experience. If they improve their flavors, they could become a real contender in the Turkish food scene. " (*Curated Review*)
