" Our dining experience at Cafe Baklava was quite pleasant. The decor was lovely and added to the Turkish vibe that I was looking for. The Manti dumplings were delightful, though I wished for a little more filling. Despite the slight hiccup with the service taking longer than expected, the staff was friendly and attentive. Overall, a satisfying experience, and I would recommend it to anyone trying Turkish cuisine for the first time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I absolutely fell in love with Cafe Baklava during my last visit! The ambiance was charming, particularly the outdoor seating which felt cozy under the lights. The lamb kebab was cooked to perfection, with just the right amount of seasoning. The staff went above and beyond, ensuring we were comfortable and happy. I also enjoyed the baklava; it was the perfect way to end the meal. I can't wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I visit Cafe Baklava, I'm reminded of the warmth of Turkish hospitality. The food always impresses me! I tried the grilled vegetables along with the lamb shank, and the flavors were rich and hearty. The ambiance is vibrant and so inviting. Highly recommend this place to anyone who craves authentic Turkish cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" Such a lovely cafe! The outdoor seating was a big plus for us. The food came out quickly, and the display was stunning. Our group sampled lamb moussaka, kunefe, and some Turkish salads—everything was tasty! I can’t stress enough how flavorful the dishes were. Would have liked slightly bigger portions, though. Overall a great meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" I am always happy after dining at Cafe Baklava! This time I tried their kofta kebabs, and they were incredible! The edges were perfectly crispy. Their service staff is always so welcoming and timely with orders. Prima facie, it felt slightly pricey, but the quality justifies the cost. It’s definitely a place I’d recommend to others.

" 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*)
