Simurgh Bakery & Cafe

This place will not let you down. The food is incredibly delicious, very high quality, clean, and beautifully presented, halal, without compromising price!!
The owner is super nice and connects with every customer who comes in.
Overall, this was one of the best dining experiences I have had.
The Turkish food here is on of the best I have ever had (including Turkey).

10/10 from all aspects: authenticity, flavor, cleanliness, customer care. Must try if you seek Turkish or Eastern European flavors, both as a vegetarian and an omnivore. Recommended dishes:
- Anything with their meatballs (cevapi köfte) but specifically Simurgh kebab
- Lahmacun flatbread (they just started)
- Honey cake (not too sweet!)
- White bean salad
- Shepherd's salad
- Borek (savory pastry dish)
- Turkish bagel (simit)
- Turkish coffee
- Turkish tea

They will begin deliveries soon and I cannot wait. They also have baklava and many other dessert options, will try and update this post.

Absolutely delish! Tried their honey cake and spinach burek. Both are must-try. They also have great quality coffee.

The cherry on top is how polite and well-behaved they are. Definitely, people should visit.

My only complaint is i wish they would have opened longer :(

The closest to Istanbul you can get without leaving California! The simit (Turkish bread) is outstanding, so flavorful, crispy and soft at the same time. There is something for everyone here with an extensive menu, and for every meal. Plenty of seating, easy parking. Come and experience this amazing food from a woman-owned and operated business!

I am so happy that we finally have such a good cevabi kofte and genuine taste of Turkish kitchen in my neighborhood!!! Clean and well designed cafe location as well. Thanks for your great service 👍🏻
Strongly recommended
