The food more than makes up for the third-world ambience and irregular service in this "European" cafe. The menu features some German, some Turkish, some Balkan dishes. I chose to start with a butternut squash soup, followed by a cabbage salad and burek.

The soup was ... Oh. My. God. Buttery. Sublime. The texture was creamy without being thick, the seasoning was deft. Absolutely top quality stuff. The cabbage salad, with a very light dressing and a few interesting other veggies thrown in for colour, was also in the top quartile of its class. The burek, a mix of ground meat and shredded potato seasoned and rolled into a long tube of phyllo, then wound into a spiral and served in a thin white sauce, was heavenly as well.
Prices were spot on.
