Pastry Guide

Some of our bakes are hard to find elsewhere in London. Here is what to expect before you order.

What is bougatsa?

Crisp filo pastry wrapped around a warm filling. We bake it two ways: with custard cream, or with cheese.

What is galaktoboureko?

Layers of golden filo baked around a creamy semolina custard, then soaked in syrup while it is still warm.

What is kadaifi?

Fine, shredded pastry rolled around chopped nuts and soaked in syrup, so it is crunchy outside and sticky inside.

What is Dubai pistachio ekmek kadaif?

A layered dessert of syrup-soaked shredded pastry and cream, finished with pistachio in the style made famous by Dubai's pistachio sweets.

What is ravani?

A light semolina sponge cake soaked in syrup. Soft, fragrant and very good with a coffee.

What is peinirli?

A boat-shaped bread, open in the middle and baked with a filling. Ask at the counter what is in today's special peinirli.
