Borekas Sephardic Pastries: A Mediterranean Culinary Delight in Sherman Oaks

What a box full of flavor!! My boss stopped by to grab borekas for the office, and I went with the cheese borekas. The box came with a hard-boiled egg, tomato sauce, and a spicy paste. I mixed the tomato sauce with the spicy paste, and it created such a flavorful bite. The eggs with the pickles added an extra kick, but honestly, the borekas on their own were already amazing I didn’t get a chance to check out the spot myself since this was a to-go order, but I’m definitely planning to stop by and dine in to see the place in person. Once I do, I’ll be sure to update this review. For now, the food is an easy 10/10.

Outstanding Borekas & Authentic Pastries I’ve tried borekas (also known as borek) in many places across the U.S. and even overseas, but this one truly stands out as the best I’ve ever had in my life. I ordered the potato borac, and it was freshly made to order—light, flaky, golden, and perfectly crunchy on the outside while soft and flavorful inside. The balance of texture was just right, and every bite tasted homemade with genuine care. One thing I recommend is ordering ahead, since everything is baked fresh and there can be a short wait. It’s absolutely worth it, but this way you can be sure they won’t run out. . It’s clear that it was prepared with a hand-crafted touch—unique, delicate layers that show real skill and tradition. You don’t come across that kind of authenticity often. Practical details: parking is free and very easy, which makes the visit stress-free. There are also tables outside, so you can sit down and enjoy your food in the fresh air, which I really appreciated. Between the warm hospitality, the freshness of the pastries, and the authentic flavor, this place is a true hidden gem. If you love borac or just want to try something special, this is a must-visit.

Finally got to try these Borekas, a flaky pastry that has Middle Eastern and Spanish influences. We arrived around 9:30 am, there wasn't any line. Although it quickly became busy at 10. Better to order ahead or come early so you can sit down. We ordered the Labne and Zaatar, and the Cultured Cheese and Zaatar and ate at one of the small tables outside of the order booth. The pastry was flaky and crispy outside, and you bite into a very soft interior. I loved the Cultured cheese. It comes with olives, tomatos, eggs, and a spicy harissa paste. Perfect portion for 1 person. We paid ~30 for 2. Will definitely be back!

Very delicious pastry. A great local business that boosts up the plaza it's in. The spinach and cheese is my favorite one and everything is so fresh tasting. Thankfully the lines have died down since they opened but I very much recommend all flavors they have!

Absolutely delicious! Their high rating on Google is justified and so well deserved. More places like this should exist. I ordered online for pickup and timing was perfect. Cheese & Za'atar and Fungi, Onion & Truffle were amazing and I especially loved the side pickles, egg, and tomato pulp. All of it worked so well together. Pistachios & Kadaif and the Borekas Pudding were both good, but I think I was just more blown away by the savory options. Highly recommend and you can't go wrong with anything here.

Excellent place, great borekas and if you never tried it before, great place to start. They're fresh, tasty and served with a hard boiled egg and condiments. Great for lunch or snack.

I cannot even believe how delicious these borekas are! Granted, I don’t know that I have ever had a boreka before, but the other reviews did not lead me astray. I would definitely make the drive to the valley often and voluntarily for these. I thought that the mushroom would be my favorite, but between the mushroom and the spinach, I actually preferred the spinach. But they were both delicious. There is no atmosphere to speak of. You just order at a little window and they bring your food out. They have about three tiny tables for sitting outside.

Delicious buttery pastry filled with gourmet fillings. So delicious we went twice on our trip to LA. Awesome, quick service. Perfectly cooked eggs. Delicious refreshing drinks. Actually dreaming about these right now, if you can go, go.
