If your tongue is adventurous to try Turkish food and desserts, then head down to City Walk and look for Simit Sarayi!
Simit Sarayi, which means castle of bread, is a Turkish restaurant that offers wide variety Turkish bread, pastries, and teas! If you’ve been to Turkey, it will bring back memories. If you’ve never been there, then you’ll get a taste of Turkey’s best.
We tasted Borek and the traditional Turkish tea. For us, it actually tasted good because it’s like pizzaaaaaaaa! And, it’s a food for sharing or you eat it alone when you’re watching a movie or studying (?????) perhaps! HAHAHAH!
People come from Abu Dhabi just for their very affordable tea, which is one of the best seller. If you’re a morning person, it’s best to have your breakfast in Simit Sarayi since they’re open at 8 in the morning. Or, you can also have some snacks and tea until 12 midnight!
