"There is something about Mystic Burek, a Balkan spot in Sydenham, that makes you feel like Shania Twain has just drawled, “let’s go girls”. The gaggle of warm staff who sing along to the pop anthems playlist, the excellent burek served on silver trays with pink parchment, and the granny-core aesthetic all make you feel like the hot slice you’re eating. And these slices of burek are good enough to cross London for. Each comes with a generous scattering of parmesan, and the layers of filo are light and crispy. Visit during the day for a takeaway slice." - Heidi Lauth Beasley, Jake Oliver, Sinead Cranna
