Safir is a Turkish bakery & cafe located on Avenue U. In addition to fabulous looking pastries, one can order omelets, sandwiches, soup, salads and pasta. We popped in for coffee and dessert. The coffee, by the way, is terrific -- nice and strong. Prepare it as you like it, at the station against the wall. Alas -- another fattening stop for me when I'm in the area!

I was in the Kings Highway neighborhood at 8am because I had to wait 4 hours for my daughter to…read moretake a high school entry exam. I started to scope the area to figure out how to spend my time when I came across this gem. As soon as I walked in, the staff was welcoming and asked me if I wanted to sit down for breakfast or order pastries. Since I had some time to kill, I sat down and ordered a small Turkish coffee, which came along with a glass of water and a baklava. The water was necessary since the Turkish coffee was super strong. The problem was that it wasn't big enough. It eas served in a teacup that looked like it came straight out from Alice in Wonderland. It definitely was adorable but now I know to order a large if I want a normal sized coffee. While I was drinking my coffee, I noticed that the other table had ordered this appeasing dish in a skillet. I asked the waitress about it and she told me that it's a Turkish dish of tomatoes mixed with eggs, onions and peppers called Menemen. I asked for it and it was what I needed on a cold day. The combination was like an explosion of flavor that I needed to wake me up. It was also a lot for just $13.37. I ended up paying for everything with just a $20 bill including for a large cup of Turkish tea. I liked the food here so much that I plan on coming again another weekend for breakfast even if it is not close to my home but the long trip is worth it.

It was great, it was filling and very reasonable at $12. I also ordered the Tri -Color cookies which were great as well.

They have sandwiches, square pizza by the slice, personal size pizza, cakes cookies, Italian specialities, oil, coffee, drinks and of course bread. There is outside seating and unfortunately no inside seating as it is a small space. I would highly recommend them and will try some of their other items like cakes or pastries next time.

I came here the other day because I had a BAD craving of kunafa that absolutely had to be fulfilled…read moreor it felt like my world was gonna fall apart. I have read a lot of praises for Antepli's made to order kunafa and called ahead of my arrival to go pick up this kunafa. My first thoughts were, wow the exterior is really crispy. This kunafa is really made with care and attention to detail and it shows. However, the flavors left me disappointed. First of all, the dough has excess of butter. When you bite in you get a mouthful of grease which is unpleasant. Secondly, the ratio of cheese to dough is way off. I expected this kunafa to have way more cheese and the cheese they use also tastes like ... nothing? No saltiness to contrast the crunch or the sweetness of the syrup. Speaking of syrup - there is just not enough of it or it is just not sweet enough. When I think of authentic Turkish kunafa I think of the cheesy salty-sweet wonder that is Harfiz Mustafa in Istanbul. This kunafa does not come close and I hate to write this because it truly did make me sad. The baklava on the other hand - very very good. Heavy on the pistachio and not too crazy sweet, but definitely needs a buttier flavor. I think the whole shop would benefit from using a little bit more aromatics like orange blossom in their syrups. I do also wish they had seating so you can enjoy your sweet treat. Despite all these notes, this is still a solid shop to get your dessert fix.

I called the restaurant and the lovely woman who answered the phone told me she would package it to travel. When I received the dessert from the driver. It was packaged perfectly, I didn't need to worry about it coming apart. When it was time for dessert, we put it in the oven on a low temperature as advised. Then we poured the two liquid sugar syrup's over it, and that made it even more delicious. When we put it on the table, everyone couldn't believe how beautiful it was. And then when we cut it and eat it, it was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend this dessert. It's a beautiful presentation and it's delicious.
