I like to visit Mina Bakery which is always welcoming, with your manoosh prepared fresh before your eyes and breads being baked fresh constantly throughout the day. It is a tiny shopfront, with the bakery oven and kneading workstations extending far back into the premises. There are two casual tables inside, and a few outside too, but most people opt for take away. While you wait there are interesting drinks to look at in the cabinet as well as the baking in action behind the counter.
My favourite is the oregano with veggies. ($3.50) At Mina, it is filled with tomato, olives and capsicum.
The spinach is also delicious. At Mina, it is finely chopped with onion and lots of lemony sumac, then folded inside the flatbread into a triange. ($3.) Spinach & feta is another variation.
The flavours are punchy and strong, herbs, saltiness, lemon, the bread lightly crunchy outside, soft & warm inside. read more
