Rose Borek was Rose Boring. We had a selection of pretty samey boreks, including the Spinach and Feta Cheese Borek ($9 – better as a glozeme), Mince Meat Borek ($10 – better as a gozeleme) and the Potato Borek ($9 – better as a pizza). I don’t want you to think that I am a hater of boreks. Indeed, some of my favourite friends are borek. I just didn’t think that these really excited me. I must say however that the creamy cheesy sauce that accompanied each borek was very nice.
The Pogaca (middle- $4) was very similar to a cheese breadtop from breadtop. It was ok in this regard. Similarly the Sweet Borek (left – $5) reminded me of a Chinese sesame paste pastry. I liked it, but not for its borek qualities. The lamb roll (right – $15) I did not enjoy.
Overall I would not recommend coming here. Perhaps if you are a big fan of borek you will not find it as disappointing as I did. The sweet borek is a standout however seems to have some strong Chinese vibes, which is probably why I enjoyed it.
Two out of four reks.
