| - Savoury, Maltese croissants? YES, please!
I've had this place bookmarked for a while and decided to drop by while I was in the area. (Otherwise, this place is definitely NOT in my 'hood!)
Anyway, I decided to get half a dozen pastizzis to-go, half ricotta/beef with peas (slight curry flavour). Croissant isn't that accurate of a term to describe the pastry, but I'd say the consistency of sfogliatella/shell pastry: thicker, crunchier, and denser.
Each pastizzis was $1.50, half a dozen - $7.50, and a dozen was $15 - but don't quote me 'cause I went last week. The pastry was absolutely delectable and I think I enjoyed the outer shell more than I did the stuffing.
The ricotta was slightly salted, while although the beef/peas was good, I felt that it lacked a bit of flavour. So the pastry was the absolute star of this snack-on-the-go!
If you're hankering for something a bit different/trying to elevate your tastes from subway beef patty, check this place out!
P.S. They also had a hot table that I didn't quite get a chance to try! ;)
