King of Basturma is a quaint little meat market and cafe known for its excellent customer service and delicious food. The owner and chef are super nice, friendly, kind, and knowledgeable, providing service with joy. Many customers visit based on strong word-of-mouth praise from friends and family. The business specializes in Basturma, a cured and salted beef seasoned with Çemen, which has a spicy black pepper taste and is great for a morning omelette. They also offer a wide variety of other meats and Middle Eastern dishes, including beef/lamb shawarma, chicken shawarma pizza, zaatar, mixed cheeses, spinach pie, baklava, and restaurant staples like Fattoush, kibbeh, falafel, soup, and hummus. Portions are noted as being big compared to other shops in the area. The market is very clean and well-stocked with freezers full of treats and drinks. The space is small but mighty, featuring a couple of tables with flowers where customers can eat and relax. Parking is adequate, and wait times are typically minimal. First-time visitors are often treated to samples, and the overall experience consistently compels customers to plan return visits, with many declaring it their new favorite breakfast spot.

I am so sad to see that this is closed. My kids and i loved going in here when we would come down to visit family.

The owner is so nice and helpful. Got cheese bread, zaatar bread, and hummus. All were excellent. He also gave me a spinach cheese pie to try and it was delicious.
