    Hello, as a Turkish so sorry to hear you got scammed. These people exists, sorry. About the bagel (simit) if you buy it from a coster it will be dry and tasteless and probably made two days ago. If you buy a bagel from a good bakery, bagel will be so delicious and so satisfying to eat for breakfast. I recommend you to buy it early hours in a day and from a bakery.

      no worries at all! we've honestly really enjoyed our time here and most of the food has surpassed our expectations. we'll definitely have to try a fresh simit before we leave!!

    Technically, you weren't scammed because you got delight and gave money in return. You were willing to pay 80$ for a box of delight. This is 5 times more expensive than the average price of it but it is you who accepted the price. Good luck with your next journey.

  • @hellefarbe9568
    @hellefarbe9568 2 дні тому

    I would say from my experience around 20$ or less would be acceptable, I would even say 20$ is on the expensive side, just an advise for future deals, ( always taste first 👍) they shouldn't say no, if they say no go try another place
