A taste of Turkiye is on offer to breakfast diners at FistikLava in Jeddah’s Al-Rawdah district.
The restaurant’s owners have drawn their inspiration from the vibrant Balat district of Istanbul.
Among traditional Turkish dishes included on the menu are borek, pide – which includes options such as beef cubes, mix beefy cheese, and double cheese – and baklava, all freshly made.
The Istanbul and Trabzon breakfasts, a spread of savory and sweet dishes, are a popular choice with customers as is simit – a type of bagel – paired with shakshuka; eggs and tomato cooked together in a skillet.
The borek, a traditional layered pastry made from filo pastry and a filling, comes in several varieties including spinach, minced beef, or cheese, all of which can be washed down with Turkish coffee or tea, among other drinks.
During Ramadan, FistikLava will offer takeaway boxes of borek pastries, special baklava, and iftar. Deliveries can be ordered via the Jahez app.
