About Rose Borek

Run by a welcoming family in Rosebery, Rose Borek turns out handmade Turkish pastries and hearty morning platters. The specialty here is su böreği—delicate sheets boiled in water before layering with feta and parsley for a tender, silky bite unlike standard dry-baked burek. Patrons often lean toward the morning spread, balancing sizzling sucuk and eggs or rich menemen with warm house-baked bread, cream, and honey. Sip cold homemade ayran alongside the savoury coils, or linger over freshly brewed Turkish tea.

  • Traditional Su Böreği: Pastry sheets are boiled in water prior to layering with feta and baking, producing a distinctively tender texture.
  • Turkish Breakfast Spreads: Platters feature sizzling sucuk and eggs, savoury menemen, fresh bread, and tea.
  • Warm Hospitality: Family hosts guide newcomers through regional pastry varieties and fillings.

  • Handcrafted Traditional Water Börek

    The kitchen specializes in labor-intensive su böreği, boiling delicate pastry layers before layering with cheese and herbs and baking to a tender finish.

  • Unique Silky and Crisp Textures

    Diners discover distinctive handmade pastry styles beyond standard cafe fare, from silky boiled layers to crisp rolled varieties.

    The lady told me water borek is boiled to make it silky smooth. It was very soft and like Macaroni cheese. Totally delicious.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of börek can I try?

Rose Borek serves several styles. Highlights include traditional water börek (su böreği)—boiled pastry layers filled with feta and parsley for a soft, silky texture—as well as crispy rolled böreks, spinach and feta, lamb, and a popular sweet tahini börek. If you cannot decide, mixed platters are available.

Do they offer a full Turkish breakfast?

Yes. Breakfast options include classic Turkish spreads with sucuk and eggs, menemen, fresh salad, cheeses, and house-baked Turkish bread or simit, served alongside börek and Turkish tea or coffee.

How large is the seating space?

The cafe has an intimate dining room with space for roughly 15 guests, so seating is limited for walk-in parties and groups during peak hours.
