This place never fails. They really do have the best borekas. On their own they are delicious, but with the tomato pulp it is the perfect balance. I love their homemade pickles, though I would love them even more if they were crunchy. We tried the chocolate borekas for the first time and it was such a nice sweet treat. I also love that whenever my family visits, this is what I order for early morning breakfast delivery. It always hits the spot.

We have been wanting to come here for some time and wow, how could we have put this off? We got the special box that seemed like "the thing" to get, and wow. Every bite I was in absolute shock at how flavorful and interesting these pastries were. They come with pickles, sauces, and hard boiled eggs and wow--I was drooling between bites, getting territorial over the different options, and even though I had thought of bringing these for an event to share, we ended up getting something else for the event and just enjoying this all to ourselves! Definitely a top spot in LA!

Mushroom boreka

I have been wanting to try this for a a few weeks. I was in the area so I decided to go. The parking lot is very congested and crowded but I got lucky and got a spot right away.I ordered the mushroom boreka with hot chocolate with coffee inside I forgot the name but it was good . The young lady who helped me was very friendly and nice. I didn't have to wait long I got the food within 5 minutes. They do have a table outside but it's small . The food is good the boreka is very flaky and the two sauces they gave made it come together very well. I am not into pickles but somehow it works with this. The eggs are good but the star of the show is the boreka. Overall I give it a 9/10. I will try to come back with my dad and try a different flavor.

My BF couldn't wait and grabbed half of a hard boiled egg before I had a chance to snap this pic of our feast.

Braving the parking lot around lunch time was worth it! The strip mall where Bo*re*kas is located is jammed full of shops and restaurants, and it could be easy to miss this little spot if you're heading east on Ventura and not looking carefully. Parking is free, but it might take you a while to find a spot. My BF and I came here the other day before it got really busy and I was so happy to finally be able to introduce him to a kosher restaurant that he'd never tried before. My BF got 2 of the spinach with cheese and I got one with fungi, onion, and truffle. Don't tell him I said so, but at first I think my BF was thrown off by the word "fungi," but when he saw it was just mushrooms, he looked a bit relieved. He's not a big fan of pickles, but I am, so I got to eat all the pickles!! Yummm. We were pleased with our selections. My BF is more of a purist and ate his borekas plain, but I dove straight into the schug and tomato pulp, which is excellent. I can't handle really spicy foods, but the schug is not too spicy. The hard boiled eggs were cooked just right. I made a mess while I was eating, but I was okay with it. A little dab of schug, a spoonful of tomato pulp, with a bite of hard boiled egg made each bite of boreka like a symphony of flavors of textures that danced across my tastebuds. We didn't even mind that it was sprinkling while we ate since the roof has a little bit of an overhang that provides some shelter. It was really nice actually to be eating hot, freshly made borekas while it was raining a bit. The only thing that could have made this more perfect was if Sonny's Ice Cream was open, but we came on a weekday and Sonny's doesn't open until 2pm during the week.

If a boreka is sold out, their Van Nuys location is close by.

Had the Fungi, Onion and Truffle boreka which was crazy good. I usually only like dill pickles but I went to town with their sour ones. I haven't been here in a long time, but now they have more tables and chairs, more so than crates for sitting. Parking- hopefully you'll luck out getting a spot in the lot but there are many other places to eat here. Much appreciation to the very kind employee who added oat milk to my Turkish coffee. Took a risk as I didn't know what cardamom tastes like. It was too strong without milk and sugar. Still need to try the margherita and spinach & cheese borekas. $14 each may seem pricey, but believe me, the quality and divine taste is so worth it!

Cultured Cheese and Za'atar Boreka
Katherine B.

I am not familiar with the Sherman Oaks area so when I looked up a spot to eat, I was so intrigued by what a Boreka is - I had never heard of it before. And omg do I wish I lived closer to Sherman oaks now just so I could eat these every week! This is my favorite pastry I've ever had. I am a savory person, but I love a flaky crust, so this was right up my alley. Let me say this - the person on Yelp who said you need to order two - they lied, these come with SO much food! You really only need one order per person. But if you'd like to try different flavors, you'll have great leftovers! I tried the fungi, onion, and truffle boreka and the cultured cheese and Za'atar boreka and they were both amazing. At first I liked the Za'atar boreka more, and then I loved the mushroom one more. I kept going back and forth because they are so good. The Za'atar boreka is more unique, but they're both excellent flavors, especially with their hot sauce and tomato pulp. There are a few tables outside, but it is just a window you order from. But the women who helped me with my order were both very kind, and patient and helpful since it was my first time trying a boreka. There is parking - it's in an area with lots of casual restaurants around it. I went at a busier time, around 3 pm (not recommended - the Borekas sell out and I came right before they did. They are normally sold out before that) so I did have to do a loop around the parking lot before I found a spot, but it's pretty easy. I will keep recommending this spot over and over. It's so good!

Borekas! $14. Never had it before but was dying to try it. They definitely are a tasty treat. It was super flaky and crisp. I thoroughly enjoyed the potato and brown butter as well as the spinach. The tomato sauce was a nice compliment. I enjoyed the pickles and the egg on the side.

Naomi W.

Delicious! Been wanting to try this spot for a while as I've seen it hyped up all over social media. Saw that they were running a promo on Uber Eats so decided to order. Pastry is so flaky and perfect. I got the potato & brown butter as well as the cheese and zaatar. Loved that it comes with sauce and side of eggs and pickles. Definitely will order again!

So good!
Mark M.

I seriously think I have tried all the borekas here and each one has been amazing. This includes the potato and brown butter, the fungi, onion and truffle, the spinach and cheese, and the cultured cheese and za'atar. I love how each bite matches or exceeds my expectations and I really like the mixture of what is in each box! The hours at this location are early, so get there before or after the rush. This is definitely a great breakfast and brunch spot! I have never seen it empty during business hours since there is usually more than one person in line or waiting for their order. There really are a lot of Mediterranean flavors within these warm and flaky pastries!

Mushroom truffle
Allen V.

I've been wanting to try Borekas, although this whole time I was expecting to see a display of pastries, not knowing it was a savory flaky, similar to croissant like bread, but I've got to return for the chocolate or the pudding I saw on the menu. It was really good, the young woman was kind and they kept busy right away. There's only outdoor seating, but the mini stools and tables are perfect to have a quick bite there.

Natalia M.

Prices are unbeatable, taste amazing and super quick. Makes sense to me why stuff sells out so fast here. Can't wait to come back and try more stuff!! (Seating is outside only but food stays hot and it's amazing when you get home to eat it!)

Michelle L.

I've had this spot bookmarked for a while and finally got around to trying it today. It's grab and go style, but there are a few tables outside in case you want to enjoy your food right away. I ordered one potato & brown butter and one spinach & cheese. Both were soo delicious. The texture of the pastry was perfect, and the fillings were well seasoned and flavorful. I loved the variety of sides and sauces they provided too. I recommend ordering online to skip the line!

Zaghtar borek
Arthur T.

Omg, this place is awesome. Everything I love made so well. Here are a few things to note: It's a walk up counter with some outdoor seating. The service is very quick and friendly. If you like zaghtar you will love this zaghtar with cheese. They also have Nutella boreks. Everything was amazing and my clients loved it.

Finally my husband and I tried Natas! We so happen to come here right when it opened on Sunday and…read moregot a parking space. It's a very small lot so if we come at any other time, I probably would just park on the street (meter parking). We ordered the breakfast sandwich as I saw it came highly recommended and ordered it with turkey bacon and cheddar cheese on a ciabatta bread. The other options was a croissant or their house made Portuguese bread, which she said was a tad sweet. It was probably one of the best sandwiches I had!! The bread was perfectly toasted, with melty cheese and a generous amount of eggs and turkey bacon! We also got the scramble with spinach, mushrooms, and linguica (spicy sausage...they have mild as well). Nothing super special, but it was a delicious scramble and it hit the spot! We met the owner, who was very sweet. She told us they opened in 2005, with just the bakery portion and in 2010, expanded into the restaurant. They have a very cute outdoor patio with plants around. We opted to sit inside since it was a little chilly and love the ambiance there as well. They serve their entire breakfast, lunch, and dinner menu ALL DAY! We'll definitely be back!

We had had dinner at a restaurant about a block away. I'm always looking to try different bakeries…read moreand saw that Natas was close by and still open. It's usually hard to find a bakery that is still open after 6 pm. I decided to try a variety of pastries and ordered an apple strudel, chocolate covered peanut butter bar and a large chocolate chip cookie. They had a very wide selection to choose from. My daughter ordered a lemon bar, slice of lemon cake and a small chocolate chip cookie. My first impression of the desserts that I chose was that they were sweet. I could feel the graininess of the sugar in the chocolate covered peanut butter bar. The strudel was tasty but light on the apple filling. Between the chocolate chips and sugar the cookie was sweeter than what I usually like but still a good cookie. I tried my daughter's lemon bar and I liked it. The things I tried I'm thinking 3 stars, my daughter liked the things she bought so averaging it out maybe a solid 3.5 stars rounded up to a generous 4 stars. Service was okay. Natas has a wide variety of pastries. I think the other items on the menu are more well received. I'll need to go back next time I am in town to try out some of other menu items.

While the flavor variety is awesome and they don't skimp on fillings, man are these cakes typically dry and a little dense. Had the tropical coconut pineapple cake for a friend's retirement party in December and while the price of a small cake is steep, it was very good. I was impressed! Another friend and I debated what the best berry and cream cake was. I said WholeFoods. She said SusieCakes. We taste tested. We both stood our ground on our opinions. Last weekend,I had the strawberry cake at a birthday party and it was very dry and dense. And the baby's "smash cake" never really got any deeper than the frosting layer, which leads me to believe it was also dense. While I was doing my friend the favor of picking up said birthday cakes, I noticed the pineapple coconut was back in season, so I came to SusieCakes the next day to get a slice. Very friendly staff! But very dry cake. So disappointing after paying ten dollars for a slice. Overall, the vibes are always good. The flavors are great. But the texture is just not it.
